A. Good 1987 [illegible] Journal Volcán Cacao, Prov. Guanacaste, Costa Rica 18 August However, Back for Supper at 500. After dark we again returned To this same stream, collecting a Rana waschentzalii on the way. at the stream, Hyla [illegible] proved to be quite common, with the males calling from low vegetation (more often) roots + bare branches) within a foot of the water surface. Collected 11 males + 1 female. Also got a series of tadpoles which are possibly this species. Back to Casa Mengo ca. 900 PM. Weather: Today as yesterday extremely [illegible] windy with rain on & off all day. Breakfast 600. Hiked up the trail toward the top of Volcán Cacao this morning, Starting at 7:00. The trail leaves the Casa Mengo-Casa Frank trail at its summit (ca 1250m) and proceeds along a ridge-top toward the summit. The trail climbs rapidly to ca 1400m then levels off + stays at 1400- 1500 m for a long way. According to the topo sheet at Casa Mengo, it is about equidistant from 1400 to 1500 and from 1500 to the top (1650m). We climbed steadily to ca. 1490m which we reached ca. 900. Here we decided to work [illegible] rather than continue on to the top. Immediately upon deciding this, I pulled some moss off a tree ca. 3 ft off the ground + found a Nototriton - we then worked the area for about an hour + found 1 other also in moss, this one 5 ft off the ground. The ridge along which this trail goes is much better than that along the Casa Mengo-Casa Frank trail below - abundant moss and, in many places bromeliads are common. The vegetation consists of stunted trees (the ridge is extremely wind-swept)
