D. A. Good 1987 Journal Volcán Cacao, Prov. Guanacaste, Costa Rica 20 August 5 forks of the Río San Isidro) where we found 1 Hylas niphobles on a low branch above the water (a 1ft up) + an Eleutherodactylus Pachytrichus actually in the stream itself. Back to Casa Mengo + Bed ca. 830. Weather same as every other day here so far - rain off + on + guato windy. 21 August Not much field work today. Spent the morning (after the usual 600 breakfast) preparing the specimens from yesterday By the time we finished this, it was too close to lunch To make it worth while doing any field work. For part of the afternoon, we walked down to the area of the 2 branches of the Río San Isidro where the trail from Finica Harold crosses them - our hope was to find Bolitoglossa reticula since one was supposedly collected there by people working on the trail (DAC 3062 - see catalogue). Spent quite a while tearing up stumps and turning over logs in the area - there are plenty of logs - but found nothing. The woods doesn't really look like Bolitoglossa reticula country to me - guato dry with virtually no moss - I began to wonder if Dan Janger (who gave us the specimen) got the locality right. However - my knowledge of B. reticula is restricted to Monteverde, and I might have a more restricted view than is actually the case. We found no herps this afternoon, although we saw a troop of Spider Monkeys quite well and a couple of squirrels of some sort.
