O. Stanley 1976 5 June Herb Martyr Dam, Chiricahua Mts., Cochise Co., Arizona Larry Pizzo, Dave Kroline & Lawrence Frank and I arrived in Cave Creek Canyon in the Chiricahuas at about 5 pm, having driven from Lubbock and the mammal meetings via the Sacramente Mts and White Sands. After checking in at the AMNH field station, we drove up to Herb Martyr Dam ~2-3 miles NW up the canyon. Mixed pine-oak-yucca "forest" which reminds me very much of the sand hill scrub-oak-pine - palmetto forests in the southeast. We waited until the technicians left before setting up the net with poles tied to the railings of the fence on the dam. 1st bats seen ~8:30pm, a few minutes before the net was finally up. Captured 2 Eptesicus fairly soon, then a fall off in activity. Larry and I took another 30' net on the 2 remaining poles, stretched it across the water and tried slowly walking it down towards the dam, with no effect. Finally, at 10:15 pm, the last bat, Lasiorus cinereus, was caught. The lasiorus was quite vocal hissing & spitting to beat the band. Walking near the box he was in would set him off

At 11pm I joined the other three in sleep and saw what was probably a kit fox on the way back to the campsite. June Got up at 5:45 AM on the 26th to check the net and, as the sun came up, saw nothing else in it - fortunately the luis weren't active yet. We left at around 11Am after Lawrence and I processed specimens. He plans to put up the bat skins. He caught three Peromyscus (crinitus??) and I obtained tissues from one - LGF 86, a ?. Went to Tucker Canyon via Douglas, Az. and hiked up to Patton's Locality there, 3 mi up trail #228, but obviously did not find it. Tried to find a cattle tank to net, but an owner told us none had water in them. After fixing a hole in the gas tank with soap, we stopped at a farm pond in a cattle field in the desert on the road back to Douglas - a large pond impossible to miss and impossible to net with 2 sets of poles. We saw 4 or 5 bats flying but by 11:15 had caught nothing so pulled things down and

Ashti, Sonoma Co., Calif. July Carla Markman, her friend Seth, Dick Sego and I drove from Berkeley to Ashti and the Italian Swiss Colony winery and where Phil Leitner had told Carla would be good for Tadarida. We arrived at 8 pm and as there was still light, went up the road a ways to a nice restaurant. Nets were up at 8:45 pm. The bats were roosting in the N 1/2 of the barn only but most exited from the large doors in the middle, rather than from a large bay door in the upper level of the barn near the roof which opened to a tree. Nets were placed over the doors with nets and bats entered almost immediately.

D.O. Staney 1976 4. 3 July, cont'd. The east door caught most - the most activity in the NE corner of the barn near the light across the street and near water. 45 Tadarida taken (in Carla's catalogo) with 8 Myotis yumanensis and one Antrozous pallidus (with 2 streblids). The yumanensis appeared after the 1st pulse of activity at the start of the 2nd ~ 9:30 PM. The Antrozous was taken last late ~ 10 pm. Several dead Antrozous on the floor, one banded. A Tadarida also banded but was caught but let go. Finally called it quits at ~ 10:30 pm after collecting Carla's first Tadarida sample and a beginning on my Myotis series. Aetna Springs, Napa Co., Calif 10 July Sam McLeod, Carla Markman, M. Walter and I off to Sam's roost in Pope Valley. This is in an abandoned barn E of the Golf Course across the street (N) from the Aetna Springs Resort buildings where Pearson studied Antrozous. We tried to find the mines at the end of the Aetna Springs road last, after climbing into the mts. For about 5 miles, things got rougher than I was willing to take my newly fixed

Sam has studied the barn roost before and has connections with the golf course manager. Upon entering the NW end of the barn we opened a sign on the side of the wall and collected 10 Myotis dysmanodes and 2 M. yumanensis. Several bats roosting around the grain funnel (?) on the ground floor - all Myotis. The upstairs is the roost proper and had normal densities (Sam's description). We picked up death Myotis from the floor, all young of evenly distributed size range which suggests that the mortality this year is normal (Sam again) and not overly affected by the lack of rain (the pond we saw was very low for July). We netted several bats from the rafters, including a female carrying her young (#DOS-64) which unfortunately became separated. All exits were blocked and a net was nailed up in the stairwell. Phenomenal activity of bats at sunset and none left except to be caught in

Very few bats had left by the time we had our sample ~ 10:30 pm, and took down the nets. Got 3 Myotis californicus and a total of 48 M. yumanensis in addition to 1 M. hysanodes and 3 T. brasiliensis (in Carla's Catalogue). Few seemed to be leaving as we left, although activity in the barn was high - possibly correlated with the full moon that was out? Eastern U.S. 18 July Sam McLeod and I in my car, with Carla Markman and M. Walter in Carla's left Berkeley at 12 PM (actually the 19th) after frantic packing, etc. I had finished the 1st draft of The Phyllostomatid Genetics paper at 6 PM, so we were somewhat delayed. Fairly easy drive until Blythe, CA. When Carla gave out and I had to drive from Indio to Benson, AZ - along hilly for me. Finally arrived in the Churchawa's at 11:45 pm AZ time (1035.2 mi.).

Finally to bed by 1:30pm Am. 20 July No bats captured, but several moths that Carla says were Cercropia (I did not see them). Left at ~10:30 AM, after giving Carla a rundown of possible collecting localities. They will spend a week there collecting - Tadaridas and Molossids for Carla, everything else for me. 22 July Arrived at Port Charlotte, Fla at 3 AM this morning - 3135 mi from Berkeley in 63.5 hrs. We are staying with Sam's parents for a few days of recovery and collecting. Probably will collect few bats but some herps. That was one long drive. 23 July Drove to Sanibel and Captiva Islands off of Ft. Myers to look for beached killer whales that were on the news yesterday. Did not see the whales which we were told had been taken away. Saw many shorebirds that we could not identify. Brown pelicans in abundance. We watched the

Sam says they use the gular fold to gape and suck fish, which may explain why they seem to loose all control over their body which flops into the water. Can't do too many things at once. It probably doesn't matter if they disperse the school after they have sucked in a leak-full of fish. 28 July Arrived in Gainesville last PM after a restful few days in Port Charlotte. Met with Steve Humphrey who was very helpful in arranging for us to get what we want from Florida - Myotis austroriparius, Lasiorus (3 species) and Tadarida. He also had some Florida Public Health specimens which he had been sent for identification. We salvaged some of the less rotten of these for tissues but did not keep specimens. Only rabies negative bats were so salvaged. Included is one "family" of 3 juv L. borealis and the F. L. intermedius is not yellow, but rather Spanish-moss grey-green. Exact localities can be obtained from Steve.

One M. austroriparius seen at sunset but that was it. Terry went in and claimed the water was drained out and he saw 3 bats flying inside - not the hundreds usually seen there.

D.O. Straney 1976 12. 4 Aug. Well, we've left Gainsville with no bats and one Bufs, quite disappointing.

Unfortunately I got stung by a wasp in the process and my stomach is swelling in reaction - didn't think I was allergic. Also hit by a Myotis that drew a drop of blood- must watch this. 6 Aug. Arrived at Savannah River Ecology Lab yesterday at 4 PM, after a pleasant drive from Tifton, Ga. where we prepared the specimens. SREL is devastated by a tragedy which occurred on the 4th, resulting in the death of Sue Duwall and Lee Ames, the latter an old friend. Otherwise the place is little changed, although there are many new people. Went out tonight with J.B. Gentry to Jackson Landing, the "port" of Jackson on the Savannah River. He, I and M.J. O'Farrell had shot L. seminolis here in good numbers (5-10) a year or so earlier. Bats flying ~ 1/2 hr before sunset when J.B. shot the 1st and only bat we got; the ~5 others were seen

14. 12 Aug. Have spent the last few days working on a revision of the phyllotomated last chapter and settled on Science as the place for the deer blood paper. Tonight was the 1st time I could get in the field due to lodging mess-ups. Mike Manlove and I went to Par Pond to shoot over the Cold Dam, where Mike Smith told us we could find bats easily if the shot ones weren't eaten by the bass. News got a chance to determine if bass will eat bats as the gun jammed after the 1st shot. Bats appeared at sunset and we saw ~10 before heading back in extremely bad humor. One may have been Eptesicus. As there was no hope of getting another gun, we went road cruising for herps. All were obtained along pine plantations, the Scarlet snake on Rd 7 near Par, the Scaphiopus along a 2.5 mi stretch of Rd 2 from the junction of Rd A. Will be leaving tomorrow w/te for Washington DC by plane to meet Sam who has been at the Smithsonian looking at fossils. Hope Memphis will get us some bats !!!

J.O. Stanley 1976 15. 17 Aug. Arrived in Memphis last PM at ~3:30. Could not find the University by 5 so got a motel for the site. Finally contacted Michael L. Kennedy at Memphis State this morning. Mike is a student of Schnell's at Oklahoma but is now doing some acrilimide electrophoresis of local Peromyscus. He tells us about the realities for M. austroriparius which are several streams 20'-60' wide in dense forest. No cave colonies known. He will not be able to go with us as he leaves tomorrow for the Smokies to collect in some lines of can traps they have here. We went in Mike's university vehicle to the Tennessee River for a chalk mine where he has collected M. austro. before. Had to draw a boat also, as it can only be reached by water. Mike's 2 students (Mike and Phyllis) also came along. About 3 mi. from the landing (at Eastbay), the boat came unlatched and flipped over doing minor damage but wreaking the distributor coil. An automotive coil (12v) did the truck and we were on the river by 6:00 PM. The mine is reached in the 1st major cove upriver (S) of Eastbay landing by a path of about 1mi in length. The habitat is deciduous and this way

The mine is abandoned and, behind an entrance ~ 4' in diameter, turns into a series of galleries that follow a large chalk vein in the hills. We searched the entire mine and found only 1 bat a Pipistrellus (!) on the ceiling. The cave was very cool but not damp (no water) and the pipistrello was in torpor. In one gallery, I caught some orange eye-shine and, upon investigating, found a ? Peromyscus gossypinus (pregnant) in a nest in a hollow in the wall at chest level. Several other nests were seen in the cave system, but no other mice. Placed one net over the entrance and 2 others at the head of the cave: Nets Tenn. To Eastbay River Miss. cave <-- to mine

O. Straney 1976 17. Aug. (cont'd.) No bats were collected in the net by the cave. After Nets up at ~7:30, we went back in the woods and built a fire for a sumptuous dinner of hotdogs. 1st bat caught ~8:10 pm., a T Lasinius borealis, 7 more caught before nets taken down ~11:15-pm. The net in the inlet did better in catching bats, and after dusk, most bats seen were flying inland at the head of this inlet where there was no underbrush but still respectable canopy. Finally back in Memphis by 3 AM. We are staying at Mikes place while he is gone to the Smokies. 18 Aug. A wasted day. Didn't wake up until 2pm and it was 4 by the time we had finally replaced a headlight in the car which was broken (both beams). Processed bats, but this was delayed as the Lasinius refused to die in the freezer. Far too late to get to collecting site tonight, so will take it easy and rest up for the long drive home, beginning on the 20th.

O. Straney 1976 18. 19 Aug. Went this afternoon to try to net bats along the Forked Deer River 70 miles NE of Memphis. This is good territory for australis according to Mike Kennedy. At the 1st place where the road crossed the S fork we got out and spent 1 1/2 hrs looking for a good place to stretch some nets. The best place according to Mike is in fairly dense woods which we weren't able to find. The river is ~60' wide here and swift so a bad place for us to set without a boat. A small inflatable one would be handy to have. Did get a small Rufus here tho. Went off at ~ 7 pm to check out another place W of Belle where the road crosses again, but a short ways down the road the left rear tire blew out and had to be changed. Cursing the loss of time and watching the sun go down, we got back in and the battery was dead. Hitchhiked to a gas station and got someone to come out and start the car. By then it was 9:15 pm and, in exasperation,

D.O. Straney 1976 19. decided to go back to Memphis. The spare was not in good shape and neither was the other rear tire so we drove at 40 mph all the way back. Very frustrating last day of collecting. 20 Aug. This AM went to Sears and got two new tires ($130+). The car rides much better now that all the tires are new, in alignment and balanced, but part of this is psychological. Last into on the way to the river the car was shaking badly and we now attribute this to the tire that blew. Left Memphis at 12:15 PM. In Arkansas, was surprised to see that the Mississippi floodplain is almost 45 mi wide. In Missouri between Hannibal and Alton it is only 7. Took a 2 1/2 hr detour through the Ozarks which was very interesting but a little long. We are taking I-40 west. 22 Aug. Arrived in Berkeley this AM at 3:45- a 41.5 hr. drive. No problems. Very nice to be home.

D.O. Staney, 1976 20. 26 Aug. Aetna Springs, Napa Co., Calif. Carla Markman, Sam McLeod and Sam Sweet and I are off to resample Sam's roof which, we last visited on 10 July. We brought a ladder which has made it easier to get to the bats at the roof of the barn. Arrived ~5:30 PM. No bats behind 1st floor sign as this was loose from the wall. None anywhere on 1st floor. The population in the attic is somewhat reduced but Sam found only 3 dead bats (one was dying, a Tadarida and may be rabid). (It wasn't) After climbing up to the bats, it was apparent that many more were secreted between the metal roof flashings and the wooden shingles above the roof beam. Sam Sweet used his slingshot with considerable success to pick off Tadarida beyond easy reach. Collected 8 Tadarida (in Carla's catalogue) and 20 M. yumanensis before the bats were too disturbed. However, we had stirred things up considerably and, as we left, there were 10-20 bats in the grain funnel on the 1st floor. Met two of the people who run the place as we were

They were a little amazed that we would be interested in bats and were unaware that they had a roost in the barn, although they had seen many flying in the vicinity. Also wanted to know if bats had commercial value. We told them about the beneficial effects of guano in hopes that they would not discourage the roost. On the way home, Carla's car had problems and we spent 2hrs. in the A&W parking lot in St. Helena fixing her headlight switch. Finally in Berkeley by 11:30 pm. Las Vegas Vicinity, Clark Co., Nevada 13 Sept Left Berkeley this AM (8:30; 37315) for Las Vegas with Sam Sweet and Carla Markman. We will meet M. J.

Dinner in Tonopah, and we pulled off to sleep along the Amargosa River bed in creosote desert. Lay under the stars talking for awhile. Finally to sleep by 11 P.M. 14 Sept. Up at 8 AM to a fine cool morning. Temper- atures yesterday were very cool but today threatens to be a searcher. Not much sleep last nite as I threw my back out in Berkeley loading the car and the ground was not too good for it. In Las Vegas by 10 AM for Breakfast at McDonalds, then over to the place Mike is working to make plans. He is working at a two place and seems much frustrated by it. After much futzing around we have decided on a plan - Tadarida tonito and another place tomorrow. Spent the afternoon (1-3:30 PM) in Red Rock Canyon W of town on Choreldor St. collecting herps. Sam got many. Also found a dead grey fox. Some of the cracks and crannies in this red sandstone showed what looked like very

Went out to Logandale to work a roost under a bridge - out I-15 to Overton-Logandale turnoff. The bridge is on the Wedge of Logandale on SR-12 and spans the Muddy River. There are 2 expansion joint in the bridge where Tadarida roosts. Hung Re nets as follows over the joint: this worked remarkably well and was easy to raise up and remove animals, although we did this by moving the net to the milk warehouse parking lot to the N because of traffic on the bridge. Nets up by 7 - sunset shortly thereafter. Vespertilionids seen in large numbers foraging near the large trees in the area which Sam tried to get by slingshot with no luck. Did not have

It had been dark for ~40 min but no activity in the stream or expansion joints. We could not see bats in these joints when backlit. So went road cruising at 8 PM. When we returned at [illegible] 10 PM there were 20 Tadarida & in the nets. Hauled in one with the most (~17) and spent ~30 min taking them out. Had to sacrifice the 2 nets as the bats were terribly tangled. By the time we got these out, ~10 more had entered the remaining net - clearly not from the joint. These bats were probably foraging in the creek which was insect laden and filled with willows & tamaracks, the colony appears to be either breaking up or disbanded with the bats returning to feed. Mike claimed there were "20,000 bats" in the joints but this is no longer the case. Left in good spirits (I had been very frustrated during the road cruising) and went to Overton beach to camp. This was a truly dreadful spot with many RV campers, so Sam & Carla had a midnight swim in Lake Mead. Went back to the Valley of Fire to spend the night.

Then back to Red Rock Canyon to process lots. This time went up to Willow Spring which is in the N.W. part of the valley. This is an old Indian campground (Pinto and Anasazi) with mescal pits and pictographs still evident. Pinon pine habitat. Processed our lots in this pleasant area and then attempted to set up some nets to leave there while we went elsewhere. We could not find a good set and, as time, wind, birds and tourists were against us we abandoned this plan and drove back to meet Mike.

J.O. Stanley 1976 26. 15 Sept. (cont'd.) Saw 3 wild mustangs grazing in the small canyon before the turnoff of SR-39. This road to the spring is VERY ROUGH and could not take my Vega on it. Loaded everything into Mike's truck and bombed away. Arrived at the spring after dark and, finding we had left 2 sets of poles back with my car, set up one net! Sam investigated the source of this creek in a small cave-like opening in the mountain looking for salamanders, but this had been much disturbed. Not many bat seen flying which puzzled Mike. He has seen excellent activity here in the past. It is probably due to the rain they have had in the past week, the cool temperature, and a strange year. Mike believes that the test sites may have something to do with the decreased numbers, but I doubt it. In any event, we got 3 bats before closing the net at 10:30pm -- 1 Pipistrellus, 1 Myotis californicus and 1 Myotis volans. Mike fortunately pointed out

[Mike did mention that when John Simmons was down ~3-4 weeks ago, the Loganale Tadarida colony was at full strength, so apparently it has closed up. All that we collected appear to be young of the year,] Left Mike at SR-39 at 11PM and drove up to Hilltop Camp Ground in Kyle canyon to sleep. Was very windy and very cold so decided to go back and sleep in the desert. This would be a very nice summer campground. On the way down the car began acting up - would not accept gas on acceleration, and spattered violently. Pulling off, we spent ~1.5 hrs searching w/ pen for the cause. It was not a blocked exhaust pipe and we decided it must be the carborator. Sacked out on the side of the road for a very uncomfortable night.

I threw my back out at Mill Creek so this was not overly comfortable. By now the wind was strong blowing dust and campers on the Thruway. Fortunately it also blew away the smog, so we had a marvelous view of all of the Mts. Set our first traps (100) 10.5 mi SE Banning (Hwy 74), the hills at this elevation are rolling and green with thick looking chaparral on a granite base - big boulders and the soil is thick pebbly fine weathered granite. A unique habitat. Then drove uphill, but a few tenths of a mile convinced us we were at the highest elevation for chaparral. We drove several miles anyway to get a good view (clear sky) and to look at the habitat. These Mts are gentler than the 1st 2 and the oak parkland and pine forests are much thicker and more eastern in aspect. The wind, this was fierce. Returned to 8.1 mi SE Banning where Peg and John set 40 traps. My back suffered some from the Mt. Voodoo. As it threatened.

Much trouble over LN tank - needed "permits" from MEXICO City or something like that. Much talking - then took us to customs office in N. Laredo where they couldn't help, then back to boarder & more talk. All very cooperative but they didn't know what to do. John finally got thru it - they never looked at anything else, then drove out 85 to Monterrey, leaving about 3:30. Arrived monterrey ~6:30-7 after a long drive thru flat lands (mesquite gradually dropping out) and up onto the plateau the city is on. Much driving around monterrey looking for a place to stay but cheap ones all full. Hit bad traffic in town. Decided to go up to chippingue motel on mesa SW of town.

Probably deep. A nice clear blue stream, muddy bottom & a wonderful falls. Drove up 80 several miles finally getting into good bromeliad forest (laurels, etc). Stopped to picklo (John's) specimen then back down 80 to 85 & Valles, reaching there ~5:30 for dinner at El Banitos tr. pk. Then on to Tamazanchale & a road drive up rd to San Martin at dusk (~7:30).

O. Straney 1977 54. 5 July Tamaulipale SLP to Toluca, Mex. Up at 7:45 & into town for breakfast. Went out San Martin Rd to call bromeliads but found nothing in them. Left on 85 to Mexico city ~10, climbing thru the sierra. Surprising how much of this land is cultivated - virtually no undisturbed habitat below the pine forests. Very little traffic in mts. Stopped once to peel bromeliads but nothing except irritating sap. Stopped w/ (5?) of Durango, Hgo. to look for salamanders in pine woods but too dry - John got a Hyla & two lizards here. Stopped further down the rd. at level pine/oak woodlands & John found a Pseudacrycex lelli under 1st pile of leaf/litter. Much looking in moist places found nothing else. Many limestone sink holes here - which is probably where they are. Lunch ~ 2:30 of PB & T sandwiches then on down rd. Dropped onto plateau passing thru Chihuahua Thorn scrub and some dreadful habitat. Approached Mexico ~ 6PM, getting an undeserved fine for running red light as entered city. Traffic terrrible. Dinner at KFC on 15 as we drove to Toluca for night. MUCH hassle finding a hotel here - drove around much until spotted Terminal Hotel which is cheap. Much needed rest before (10PM) going for permits tomorrow. No collecting tonight.

Discovered in town my watch is 45 min fast of local time so reset it. Entered permit office at 10:28 (see map). Exactly 4 hrs. later left w/ permit after waiting and waiting for them to do something. The secretaries are the key to the whole show. Plan to waste a day if have to do this. Picked up state maps @ 18 pesos on Juarez dy the Alameda then drove out. got wuxed up trying to get back on Reforma but finally (10min) were headed right way. Noted many polico -busloads of them and in Clupultepec PK discovered the reason- a (leftist?) demonstration apparently centered on health care. Came out 150-D toll rd to Puebla, stopping for diner at a brace of resterauntes in Rio Frio (5:30-6:30). Drove out old 150 from here ~3 miles and turned off $logs for salamanders - found some! 18 (S) got break as 1 Chiropterotriton, ? 3? Psuadoerycea sp 1 & the rest P. Sp 2 .

So ~ 10:45 on to Jalapa for check casting & postcard to done. Much hassle in city - finally done ~ 12:30, then out to Teocelo gorge, 1.9 mi NW Teocelo, Ver. (by rd). Spent afternoon looking here for herps but found only one shrub - not the 4 sp. of salamanders Sembad. The area is planted in coffee (sparsely) & banana with steep slopes & rocks (4?) in abundance. Up to Teocelo for Cokes for lunch then (3:30) more collecting. Broke ~ 4:30 & drove out past Teocelo but the area is all planted to coffee, bananas or villages.

J.O. Straney 1977 58. 8 July, contd. down by 11pm and back to motel, as nothing new & exciting was turning up. Noted a sign on a nearby finca claiming insecticides were being used heavily - this may explain the species composition here, although there were moths in abundance but very few beetles or other noxious "bugs". Most bats caught seemed to be going towards water- most caught in topmost net. Right below this was the calmest, largest pool we saw on the river, right at the bridge. Almost all bats (same Desmodus) had fed. Costepec, Ver. to Orizaba, Ver. 9 July Up at 8:00 to be greeted by a flat tire, changed it & repacked car & drove thru Jalapa & up to Sanorilla before finding a Vacaugadoro to fix it. This took until ~10:45. Up to restaurant in la Joya for lunch at 11 then up to Las Vegas area for a nice place to process our accumulated catch. This took until 5pm, with much fog & cool air to keep things from spoiling. Then a long drive to Orizaba stopping at the 1st motel we saw (8:30). Dinner in town, then back for bed.

O.O. Straney 1977 59. Orizaba, Ver. to Coatlapan, Ver. 10 July Up early at 7 to re-pack the car. Then drove to Coatlapan to find Sr. Carlos Ceron, a man who has helped many herpetologists. The area around the town is mostly planted to bananas & fruits but a fair amount of native vegetation remains in this steep, hilly country. Sr. Ceron was away for the morning so a boy named Daniel took us out for 2 hrs to peel [illegible] bananas for salamanders & frogs. Found ~4 small Bolitoglossa and a Smilisca this way. Back after noon & met Sr. Ceron, a quaint friendly gentleman who talked with us while watching Mexico lose at soccer. Many herpetologists have used his help, some of whom we also know - he began w/ Edward Taylor 36 yrs ago. Late in the afternoon he took us out (w/ 2 nephews) to a lush banana area and we found 4 more Bolitoglossa, Smilisca & 2 Anotheca. Returned to town & were introduced to his younger brother, Miguel who, with his wife, visited various folks in California 2 yrs ago. Very pleasant chat, then he offered us the floor of his unfurnished new house to sleep & work on & they proceeded to clean it up for us. Then Miguel informed us we would eat with him that PM. So waited for that - past dark. A magnificent meal - for the 2 of us only - but frustrating as I had planned to set a net at dusk outside a cave below 150 that we had looked in earlier & saw 2 small phyllotomates in. Instead, ~1hr

D.O. Straney 1977 60. 10 July, contd. After dark, Sr. Ceron led us to the river to look for a place to set. Most of the river is set in a fairly deep cut and outside of town is very wide & deep. Looked at several places nearer town, but none looked too good as there was much high grass surrounding the narrower stream channel. Finally decided that a look in the AM was called for & quit for the night w/ no net set. Sat up for a short while talking then to bed early. 11 July Coatlapan, Var. Vicinity Up at 7AM, awakened by Daniel instead of the alarm clock which was his belief - a time change somewhere. Breakfast supplied by Sr. Ceron. Then off up old 150 to San Bernardino, Pueblo (see John's notes for directions) & Salamander collecting in cloud shrouded, rainy pine/oak/grass/rhododendron forest. Many Thorius under logs & several brightly colored Sceloporus. Appeared to be some gopher activity in cleared areas grown back to grass. Then on down a few miles to a drier area in the rain shadow of the sierran front (California-like) for lunch (via Ceron) & a look for snakes which we didn't find (2 Sceloporus, tho). Then back down 150 to Puerto del Aire, Pueblo

Many bromeliads looked in but nothing. Ran into woodcutters who claimed they found them in moss on tree sides when it was this wet, but Sr. Grea wouldn't believe it. A few moments later they caught up with us having found one. We looked more, finally finding one in a bromeliad. On returning to the car, the cutters were there w/ yet another moss living specimens. then back to Coatlapan, arriving ~ 4:45 PM. Several boys had been up to a cave near town & brought back 4 (#260-263). Set up to go to caves w/them tomorrow AM - 20 pesos for the bats. then an early dinner at Miguel's and out to the river again for bats. Finally decided to hang a net from the bridge as I had done last fall near Las Vegas. Used bromeliad-cutter poles. This would have worked well if we could have cleaned the vegetation off of the sides of the bridge. Dark by time we got there & net up ~ 1 hr later at 8:45. Got 1st & only bat ~9:30 in lowest tranmel. Net down at 11 PM. Saw other bats flying (3-4) but seemed

Back & to bed by 11:30pm. 12 July Coatlapan, Ver. to Tuxtla Cax. up at 7 for breakfast at Miguels by 7:30. Then John went w/ Sr. Corón & Daniel to climb Cerro Chica huaxtla which dominates the city - looking for Linostrotan & Pseudorycea. I went w/ 3 boys to the caves on side of this mtn., 10 min out of town. Went up to cave 1 & in 10 min had 3 Desmodus & 1 Diphylla (!). Other bats were scared around at ledge which lead to a hole straight down. Powered this for a few min. & saw 2 vampires (sp?) fly up, but couldn't catch them. After ½hr gave up & went to cave 2 - with a ~12 m. entrance portal leading to a mouth of ~1m. Set up a slit net at mouth & kids went down in cave to frighten bats out. They caught the other Carollia funerea yesterday & got more woods. Glossoph. aga tried to fly out but caught in net, 4 other bats in crevice above net, but could not catch them.

Up at 8:30 and into Tuxtpec proper for breakfast and to have the tire re-fixed. Then drove down 175 thru Valle National which is just into the foothills. Prior to this the area is heavily cultivated, esp. in cane. Several promising bat areas just N of town. Got gas here, then up into wtos. At 16.9 mi S Valle National (from mcn) came to good pulloff on a small ridge (1390m.) and here photographed and processed most of John's remaining specimen Then in mid-pm drove up the rd away looking for collecting sites. Very steep in here, cloud shrouded. Tall gallery forests w/ cercropia that is hard to reach except along streams at curves in the rd. Many fine rockfaces. Stopped ~ 4:30 at a small chapel 30.5 mi S Valle National & John searched for amphibians, finding 3 thorius - I got one Lepto- dactylid near the car.

Set nets along the trail (one) & along the S edge of the clearing (one). Began setting ~ 7:15 when 2nd one up it began to rain & just then got a small Myotis. Rained steadily so went up John to check rockfaces. At the done pulloff we searched in mild rain, John finding a potentially rare snake here climbing on the rockface! Then rechecked nets at 8 - nothing. Went up to La Esperanza & John checked another rockface in driving, windy rain - nothing. Then drove for a while & back to nets ~ 10:15 - nothing so took them down. Back to pulloff & set up tent & to bed. 14 July Vista Hermosa, Oax. to Machin, Oax. Up ~ 8am & hung out clothes to dry.

The road drops to Ixthán which is in a valley heavily disturbed and cultivated. A nice little river just N of Ixthán for setting nets. Got finally ~2pm then back up to Maclin where we walked a small rd on E right below Maclin, finding Thiorione. then back down to chapel & John looked some more there. It cleared ~ 6pm & we drove back over the summit taking pictures & marveling at the view. Dinner, then up to San Pedro Yolo' Rd to a likely net spot, but had thick high underbrush. Returned to Maclin & set net along the rd we walked. Up 8:45pm. Mist but no rain. By 9:45 nothing so went w/ John (who had walked road cuts on other spur finding 4 P. lumpy) to do cuts on SP Yolo' rd. This till 11:30 resulting in 4 more P. lumpy. Back to net - nothing. To bed. 16 July, contd. Maclin, Oax vicinity Up ~ 8:30 after poor nights sleep that saw the first tornado yet. Caught up on notes in the sun of what might be a fine day.

Drove further down to a bus stop & John spent a couple of hrs catching salamanders in the ruin - a fine piece of forest here. Many uncedor joys playing around. Then back to Machin for dinner. Had planned to set nets at the above stream but torrential downpour until 10:30 & much wind dissuaded me. We looked at a few rockfaces but found nothing. Back to the Machin campsite for bed - 11:15. 17 July Machin, Oax to Jxtlan, Oax Up ~ 8 & breakfast. Packing things up we left for Oaxaca. Stopped on rd ~10 we met 2 people from Texas (one teaches at Trinity) who were collecti wise on the Vista Hermosa - Cerro Pelon transect. Many Paramyscus where which replace each other altitudinally. Also several sp. of Leithrodobmy, Tylomys, Nyctomys etc. Proceeded on to Oaxaca for gas, then out to Mittle for a salamander locality. Spent ~ 45 min at the ruins (after a roadside PB & J lunch). This area is very dry. Drove on up a rocky rd. towards Ayutla but it was too late to go all of the way.

Then set a net on the stream 1.0 mi N of town off of 175. Net up just at dark (7:45) & bat seen flying overhead. John left to redrive. A few minutes later another bat flew up to the top traveled then zipped over the net. Nothing caught by 8:45 when John returned so I went up him on another pass until 9:50 (getting nothing) & on return found a ? Sturmira in the net. Net down at 10:40 & we went off to look for a place to sleep. Tried several dirt roads by the large bridge down 175, but nothing. Finally, in frustration, we pitched the tent on the side of 175 & fell directly to sleep. 18 July Jxtlan, Oax. to Sola de Vega, Oax. Up 8 & packed up & drove off to Oaxaca. Just short of the city we stopped at a stream to wash up & prepare specimens. Then in to town to find the banks closed. A rather nice city.

This till 5 PM when a thunder shower moved in (very impressive to see it move up the valleys) then down to Sola de Vega ~6 writing notes. Began raining about then down there. Dinner at same Eatery - this is apparently the "truck-stop" in town & no doubt is the best - this says little. Then back up to walk limestone & roadcut in dark, finding only a leptodactylid in former. Back down rd ~2 mi S of S.de V. at wide pullout to set up tent. To bed ~ 11:30. No nets set.

Then on to Tehuantepec stopping before Mitla for lunch and at Mitla turnoff for gas. The road passes thru very mountainous areas that are very dry w/ cactus. This eventually gives way further south to nice acacia scrub. At La Reforma tried to get up into mts above Sta. Maria Endepe to find thornius for J. Hanking but 6 mi down the dirt rd to there (1.2 mi N of town) came to stream ford that John's car couldn't cross.

The city is approached from a pass on the mts across a wide plain of acacia trees & cactus that is more cultivated than in the mts. On the W side of the city the acacia disappears & is replaced by tilled land on a very wide & windy plain ~ 20m. above sea level. The turnoff to Matras Romero climbs into the hills to ~300m. The hillside have nice forest w/ cactus, giving way on top to tilled & grazed land w/ many ponds. ~1hr before dark saw bats flying although a large herd of prey (vulture?) was seen flying at the same time. At the top of the hill many bats seen flocking high feeding. Got to Hotel Juan Luis ~ 8th for a room $130. Good dinner & shower then 1hr each washing clothes.

The last 100 yds to the river were very muddy & we chopped grass for traction. When we got to the river we discovered that the "town" was on the other side (as was the ferry) and that same consisted of 2-3 buildings. Decided not to try to rent the one boat apparent for the trip upriver. Frustrated, we made the return drive reaching 185 ~ 5 PM. Drove back to the Hotel, getting a room & dinner, then out to road drive. The most productive area was ~ 30 mi N Matias Romero, yielding a Celia & Bolitoglossa among other frogs and snakes.

By dark we were not done, so the girls went out to set traps while I finished, then wrote notes. They returned w/ a snake & then rd drove for a while. to bed ~ 11:30 to read a while. 28 Aug. Simla Up rather late & a leisurely lunch. About 4pm drove out to an E-W running valley in the Northern range which Jack thought would be good. See map facing Very nice little stream w/ medium sized pools & good forest border. A hill to the E had a trail going along it giving, esp in the woods part, an excellent fly way. Set 3 nets on hill - 2, 30' in forest, one in open grassy area - & 1, 18' over stream.

D.O. Straney 1977 88. 28 Aug, contd. It rained heavily for a short while as we were setting up the nets & Gnats & Mosquitos came out in droves, staying all night. The activity was never very great, but more so, surprisingly, in the open area & right at edge of forest. The stream wet got very little. Saw what must have been a Vampyrops flying high over the stream ~ ½ hr into the nite when it was still faintly grey in the sky. Caught: 3 A. jamaicensis, 4 A. cucureros, 1 Vampyrops helleri, 1 Urodarma luluatum, 3 Sturnina, 1 Glossophaga soricina, 1 Choeromaeus intermedius (instantly recognisable - snout much longer than Glossophaga even at the same tail) & ~ 11 Carollica (all released). Very pleased to get the choeroniceous. Down nets about 11 PM then home & to bed for a little reading. 29 Aug. Sirula Up latsih & a quick lunch then processed last nite's catch. Left 4:30 PM afternoon for trip to Savannah. This is a strange habitat in the N Central Valley. A grassland bordered by scruffy woods (2nd growth?), they are flooded now in the wet season leaving close packed hussocks of grass seperated by channels some 6" deep w/ water - mud deeper than this. Set 4 nets in a long "L" w/ short sid || to forest edge. Used poles we brought along & one handy tree - there are few to be had here. Again a slit but drenching

Travely, D.O. 96. 1977 Berkeley to Los Angeles 7 Dec. Left UWB at noon for 2 PM flight to LA to meet Sam Sweet. Plane late taking off and arrived at 3:15. Luggage late and succeeded in missing the 4:10 flight to Mexico City. An hour is far too short to switch here. A cabbie took us to the Sun Bay Motel in Culver City - a cheap place at $18 (!?). Duer at Shakee's Pizza at $10 then got settled - to bed about 1:30. 8 Dec Los Angeles to Mexico City Up at 8 AM and packed, cab picked us up & took us to the Airport for $7.

Got a VW lim Avisa then went to reconfirm return reservations on the 22nd! Somehow they had been cancelled! Got on another flight that has one stop in Guadalajara, all reconfirmed. Then cashed $300 m traveler's checks for $6792 (~22.9 :$1). Drone then to Hotel Aguascalientes on Zaragoza Blvd. right where the Viaducts connects.

Up by 7:20 AM to face the Mexico City rush hours by 7:30. The road to VIPs passes a major bus depot and between scurrying people and mindless merging buses, it was quite a way to wake up. Breakfast at VIPs - $36 + $1.80 tax - of an omelet w/ potatoes, onions & bacon. Then drove to get LN2. The place is INFRA, 11c San Francisco Cuatlalpan St. in , just N of the Distrito Federal off of 57, on Mex Rt. 130 & off of this. Got lost twice - once because the connection between Vraducto & Periferico was closed, a second time because Rt 130 is labelled on maps as 134. Got this done by 10:30. Was somewhat curious to do business in a language I don't really understand, and everyone was very helpful. Then drove out to Puebla. On the way, we were shunted off onto a side street w/ everyone else as a motorcade of many gun toting men and three ominous buses went zooming past with helicopter escort. Reached Puebla by noon, Oregaba by 2 PM. This was the 1st time I have been over the pass to Oregaba in the day and the transition from high plateau

O. Stacey 1977 98. Dec. contd. Dry scrub to moist tropical forest is abrupt. Saw some flowering trees in this area. Arrived in Cuatlapan at 2:30 and saw Carlos Carron, delivering Dave Wake's Christmas gift. We (tried to) talk for some few minutes, then he accom- pañied us to the Diphylla cave part way up Cerro Clucacuatla. According to him, the name is La Cueva de la Tempiquigle - named after a local tree. We approached this time from below the cave - a much easier way to find it. I discovered that I had only a 1 ½ volt "Holly Battery" with me so was left with only a faint orange glow 2" from the bulb. We managed to net 6 Desmodes, one a suckling of a ?. It looked as if much dirt had washed in as the ceiling was much lower than I remembered. Returned to town & had a coke. Paid Carlos $50 for his help then left ~ 3:45. Drove into Fortin for gas & got goodies to eat. Returned out the Fortin libre Rd. to the bridge over Barranca de San Miguel where we went R onto a dirt road leading into Cuhatemac Park. 2.3 km up this a slight road leads off to the R, where we set 4:30 net (see facing). This done by 6:15 when it was all but dark. The area is second growth, 3 story wet forest w/ many trees in fruit at this time of year. It grades to open.

We, even though our situation is difficult (to hurt), we are in a better place than ever before. I hope that you're able to get up to the training level without any further delay. We'll be here waiting for your news. I will also plan a local trip. We appreciated the time from below. I think it is kind of good progress towards some sort of the "perfect pitch" show. It's a pleasant (text) work's style, giving itself a platform for some embarrassed few of beginners to dwell off. Down to no hard work. I feel that there are some issues you might not see in between but this should be worth it?

Am curious as to how it got this way, as it is too vast and unnatural not to be planned. There is a series of steep, forested hills, tho, just down 147 frm the Carro Pelon rd. that could be productive. Lunch at the Hotel Juan Luis ($45). then drove S for a wet site. First stop was Km 5 El Mesquite in the S slope of the hills. This is all deciduous forest and the lush of this summer is now dusty and brown. There were several possible sets here along the dry stream bed, but things were so open and dry that it seemed foolhardy to try. Sam set 2 Sceloporus here. Drove back N to the only real piece of forest we saw S of Matias Romero at 8.5 Km 5 Matias Romero (on Hwy 185). Almost no trees looked to be in deciduous. The area is a steep-sided stream valley just W of 185, reached by a small dirt road from the N. Set 6 nets (one 18', one 45', four 30'): 3 over standing pools of water, one in a dry portion of the streambed and two in a banana grove above the bed by ~50'. Nets up by 6:15.

The forest above Arraga is tropical deciduous forest. Once on the "Plateau" of the Altos, ran into a torch carrying relay with boys spread every 100 ft. and a bus picking them off & dropping them off up ahead. Arrived Tuxtla around noon. Got a lunzalow at Hotel Bonompek for $155 and then a rather expensive lunch. Went back up to Berruzabal to drive up to Jerry Johnson's salamander site in cloud forest.

Rio Laja vicinity, Chis. to 7mi N Tapanatepec, cap. Up about 7:30 and on the road by 10 after Sam hunted birds and we did some skeletons. Bought more food in Tuxtla then brunch at Restaurante "La Selva" - a fine place. On the road by 11:30 headed for Rizo de Oro. Passed Baker's 42km W Cuntalopa locality but this is now in very bad shape (agriculture) that we won't collect here. Went out the road to Colonia Figueroa at Rizo de Oro for 2 1/2 mi to a stream Ted Papenfuss had suggested but, while there was some water in it, it was far too open & dry away from the river to be worth anything. This road is terrible. Decided to net again 7mi N Tapanatepec and arrived there at 3:30. Will call this 7.3 km NE junct 180-20 (or 190), Oaxaca. I processed bats until 6:30. Sam set nets (3) about 1/4 mi upstream where a small tributary enters for the R (walking upstream). Caught the Trachops (right above the water) & Centurio in this net. Nets down by 9:00 as activity light. Saw many Pteronotus davyi (?)

Many ants made it difficult to find a good place. 15 Dec. 7mi. N Tapalokee, Oax. to Tapachula, Chis. up before 6 unable to sleep. A bad nite with bugs. on the road ley 7:45 to Amaza where we bought formalin ($28/l) and had breakfast at the Hotel Colon. then drove down 200 to Tapacule. this area is even drier than before, which makes seeing streams easier. There are several promising ones - small in width (to 40' tree-to-tree), shallow, not many big rocks, many overhanging trees - they are as follows: ~82 Km mark, ~92 Km mark : both SE Tonalaa. Also one between the truly fine virgin forest at ~ km 212 and Hurstla. Will try for some of these later this week. Arrived Tapachula ~2. Drove out the Nueva Allemagne rd to the bridge but this river is far too large to net. Came back in to town for lunch, then got a room at the Komico Motel before going out the rd. to Union Juarez to look for a site. Ted Papenfuse had suggested this road. It climbs into the hills and all of the streams are very narrow (5') with many huge boulders and pools only a foot or two in longest dimension.

D.O.Straney 1977 107. 15 Dec. cont'd. Finally found one that looked promising 2.8 Km N Trinidad. It is only a foot or 2 across and is in coffetal, but with many bananas. The upstream part along the road is very thick with promising vegetation.. It is very rocky, tho, with no usable pools. Set 4 nets by 5:30 - 2 at the entrance of the culvert under the rd., one at an S in the stream where there were clearer areas to the inside of the curve, and one in relatively thick banana plants/trees further down. As we finished we ran into some people who informed us that this area was used as the bathting area for a village just up the road. Shortly before dark a couple came down to use the stream & I warned them of the net, which he called a "mist". Waited for them to finish, frustrated as we saw bats flying while they were splashing. Finally decided they were really washing clothes and, this requiring no public decency, we went down. The señor commented on how effective the "mist" was and, sure enough, the net closest to the culvert was packed with Carollia. Started removing these and discovered that our lights were attracting enough tiny insects to make breathing difficult. I resorted to stuffing part of my shirt in my mouth, lifting the button, and straining the

Took sturinia in the nets away from the culvert and the 2 arifeus in the net in the denseseed area. In all got: 25 carollia, 7 sturinia, 1 artibeus lituratus and 1 A. tolkeus. Took down nets at 8 as things were really slow & returned to the Motel. I processed bats while Sam had cleaner, then relished the first hot shower in a week before going to bed by 11:30. 16 Dec. Tapachula, Chis.. to KM 212-214 Hwy 200, Chis. Up late by 9:15. Paid the bill ($4.37) then bought some food and looked for a restaurant. Finally went to the hamburger place but they had nothing to eat so had cokes. Drove to Huayla & had lunch at a cafe next to the gas station then out to the forest at KM 211.5-213 on Pte. 200. Also checked out a river at KM 214 which is no good for netting but fine for camping. The forest looks excellent and on the S side of the rd there is a small, winding stream with many palm-like plants. Set 6 nets in here along the river, one on a flat above an S in the river. This done by 5:15. Returned to the car for dinner and then to the

Up by 7 and washed some clothes while Sam mended his boots. Drove to Mapastepec, arriving ~10 for brunch at a restaurant on 200. Then bought food in town and searched for Jerry Johnson's road to a Noetillo site. Went out one which crossed a small river. Stopped there and processed lots 'till about 2:30 then drove out to the end of the rd (~10 km). Here some people showed us to the Rio San Nicholas, much too wide & open to net. Spent a few minutes talking and agreed to take one of them in to Mapastepec. On the way (3.4 Km SE Mapastepec) he showed us a hollow tree w/ Saccopyrx. Got 9. Into town ~4:45 then drove up 200 looking for a place to net. Finally found one w/ 1/2 hr of light left, along a tributary of the large river in Puj Japan (see map).

On the third time, I was there quickly enough to thorow some bag over him. Activity decreased by 8, nets down by 8:45. The moon is defying to be a problem. Went to the Motel S of town but it was full, then tried a restaurant, but it only had snakes. Finally found a cafe at the Pemex w/ real food. Left r 10:15 headed for Tonalá. Picked up an anteater 10.2 Km NW Pijjapan DOR in scruffy looking thorn-scrub/agriculture. Also saw 2 DOR foxes + 1 DOR Spilogale . Arrived Tonalá at 12 & got a room at the Motel "Thomas" for $160 - with 3 beds. Picked some animals and discovered the anteater to be pregnant, so fixed the fetus. Madam anteater was badly hit but still fresh, so took tissues - no skull possible but will photograph the color pattern. To bed by 1. 18 Dec.

Nets up slightly after dark. Caught Lonchorhina in 2 nets, one just under the bridge. Activity died almost completely at 7:15-7:30 and took nets down at 8:30. Left ~9:30 and hit Tonalá to find a fiesta in progress and no room in any inn. Likewise with Arriaga. Couldn't find a campsite so drove out to Puerto Arista and camped on the beach, to bed around midnight. 19 Dec. Puerto Arista, this. Vacinity up ~7:30 and pickled some lizards before gong to Tonalá for breakfast at the Rest, Marcos on the S side of town-a nice place. then bought more food & went SE of town to a bridge 13.2Km SE Tonalá on 200. Here I processed while Sam collected Saccapteryx under the bridge and many large, colorful Ctenosaurs along the stream. This stream is not really suitable for bats, so we drew back to a bridge 8.4 Km SE Tonalá on Hwy 200 and set nets downstream. Got up a total of 4 before dark and immediately caught Noctillis. Second hit Net 3 at once. Decided to split up so Sam ran nets 3&4 & I did 1&2. These were on a shallower, narrower stream than the others, with more fig trees

The activity was fierce & hardly keeping up with bats putting them to flight. Finally got both cleared ~ 8 PM & returned to get another bat bag and found Sam had been having similar fun. He also pointed out that the red eyeshine in the grass was from a crocodilian - he had grabbed a 4' one and could not hold it. The activity began to slacken, and so did our perseverance, so took down nets. Finished this at 9:40, then drove to Puerto Arista for bed as all the rooms were filled this morning when we tried. A light snack and bed by 11. 20 Dec. Puerto Arista, Chis to Huajuapan de Leon, Oax up at 7 with the beach beginning to fill up people. Pickled the few dead bats and drove to Tonalá for Cokes and on to Oaxaca. Took about 4 hrs from Tehuantepec to Oaxaca, almost 3 frm Tonalá to Oaxaca. About 3 hrs from Oaxaca to , where we netted. Set 2 nets in the river thru town, 2 nets downstream from the bridge. Saw one bat & caught him - a Tadarida. Then drove to Huajuapan, another hour or so. Got a room at the Hotel Loma Vista.

Had a slight bout of diarrhea & spent the nite with terrible indigestion, probably from the grease the Milenca was cooked in. To bed ~ 12:30. 21 Dec. Huaquapan de Leon, Oax., to Mexico, D.F. Up at 8:15 and packed the car, bought some cokes and on the rd. to Mexico. The habitat here is terrible - deserted hills in very dry veg - no streams w/ water of note. Lunch in Iztacan de Matamoros at the very nice Hotel Colon on the N side of town. Stopped near Puebla to catch fish for the Noctillis we are keeping alive. Reached the airport in Mexico at 5 and reconformed our reservations. Then a room at the Hotel Aguacaliente and dinner at Vips. Spent ~ 4 hrs. packing - everything actually fits - and feeding Noctillis. To bed by 12:00. 22 Dec. Mexico, D.F. to Berkeley. Up at 6:30 and packed the car in the cold.

Had no sleep the night before, so the flight was a true grind. Arrived San Jose, after connecting in Guatemala City, at ~5:30 pm. thru customs where they looked in everything quickly then a taxi ride ($50) to the Tala Inn. Noted that it was dark by 6:30, but with heavy cloud cover. Got a room at the Tala ($10) and met some of the biologists staying there.

Bonnie Bower & Rolof Koford are spending 2 years here and we spent the PM catching up with them. They are working on grooved-billed ani social systems & are also radio- tracking prehensil-tailed porcupines. Set nets along a cleared gulley beside the Rio Corolici. Returned for dinner & back out by 7 for up-nets. Got one Rhynchonycteris right off, then others trickled in. Last bat at 9 was also a Rhyuebo, then nets down.

The Meseta itself is mostly in coffee with little banana. Nothing doubtfully settable on the road. We went thru San José to Cartago to find a place, rising to get there over a cedar crested ridge. Got there in dark (~6:15) and rain to find no hotel - only the unmarked "Pensión Panamá" which a lady at the gas station by the ruins of the citadel told us of.

Drove out the Pan Am to Villa Mills on Cerró de la Muerta (time ~2 hrs.), the road past Cartago quickly climbs into the Talamanca high areas quite scenic but grazed. Past Empolme one starts to pick up little bits of habitat (the one Jim Hanken mentioned at Empolme seems no longer there). For ~30km before Villa Mills there is nice montane habitat that is probably second growth - short, erinaceous vegetation with scattered trees, some chunks of woods. Fairly flat up here on top. At Villa Mills (= Restaurante "La Georgia") the road begins its descent & this part has much more good habitat than to the N, but tends to steepness. We ate at the Rest. and arranged for a room ($30). Then went 2 km down the road (5) to where a gravel road goes off to W (this later rejoins Pan Am further down the d. About 0.2km up this,

A very likely looking place. Had dinner before coming out. Nets up at dark (~6:1/2) then the mist came in strong & the light intermittent drizzle of the day continued. by 8:45 had got #6 Sternira (c.f. ludovici) - 4 in the same spot on net 2, 2 on net 3.

We will come back to the nets. & maybe try to net at the hotel - the owner said we could. The rd to San Isidro has many nice looking possibilities but many are steep. Ray changed money & we scouted the town, noting many sleazy hotels. Drove S and saw nice Hotel del Sur 5 kms S of town.

Finally found a nice stretch of habitat 17+ km S San Isidro. where a dirt road takes off to L. went up this to the Finca "Tienda Santo" & got permission to collect. Very friendly. The administrator told us to look in the "Canal del Rio" & so we looked under the Pan Am & the culvert had many bats. It rained so we processed Sternura. Set up ~ 4pm & we stretched an 18' net over one end of the culvert & Ray screened & Renee roods from the other. Got 38 Carollia (2sp?) & 4 Glossopaga.

Most of the area along the rd is heavily cut & settled. The streams are wide, sandy & with almost no riparian trees. Only one or 2 wettable streams to the N part of rd. Hit Villa Neilly at dark - the rd has many lg pot holes & we bent the hub of one tire on one. This is a nasty little town, crowded one Saturday nite. Only 1 good hotel (Museco, 2 singles, $20/per) w/ street parking. We lugged our stuff up & got dinner at a chinese restaurant across the Pan Am.

After ~ 7 km the road comes out on a ridge & for a while is flat & cut then climbs again. Many heliconia plants. We stopped 10.8 Km S Agua Buena (= 10.8 km N Villa Neilly) for pictures, & I walked over to a furled banana leaf to look in. It required Ray's boosting me to reach the base &, when I peered inside there was a bat. Hurrially, cutting the leaf, we layed it on the road and slowly unfurled it. There were 3 thegyoptera tricolor in the leaf, along with several fresh droppings. It was quite a sight to see two tiny feet with suckers poking out of the edge of the leaf! The animals are Myotis sized, white below shading to grayish brown marginally, on the sides, and dorsally. The ears are funnel shaped (like Fungferds?) and lips are light and look to be swollen (glass) legs are very thin, feet almost non existent. The wing membrane comes down broadly lateral to the legs. Suckers were fleshy, perhaps even moist (but this may be juice from the cut leaf). A very delicate Vesperstilionid-like

D. D. Straney 1978 126. 13 Aug, (cat) least. One, that I think is a male, has more denoun ventrally and this (unlike the other two) meets in the urogenital region. This bat (Dos- 1013) appears smaller than the two ff. They vocalized alst in the bag, a very metallic chirping, like an insecty Myotis - sound quite tinny. One got loose in the car latter and had a soft, silent, butterfly- type flight. After many pictures of these fine animals, we continued uphill until the road levelled again in a much cut-over area with the town of Agua Buena (21.6 Km N. Villa Neily). It had taken us 3 hrs to get here, counting out some time for batting. We were both quite exhausted from the mineralde road (a car of good clearance and sturdy suspension would have had a better go - we had a bent run & flet & had to change this). Decided not to go on up to San Vito, as we had seen no evidence of notable habitat. This region is being rapidly settled and developed, and little remains now of what must have been exquisite habitat (note - the area is moist - moss, fernland- and some rocky areas of pasture & roadcuts would be worth examining for harps). Took us 1 3/4 hrs. to return to Villa Neily, stopping to look

D. Stacey 1978 127. BAug. (cont'd.) in more banana leaves, but with no success (Sweets "First Rock" rule applies to batting in bananas). Got lunch (~3) at the restaurant of the night before ("Te Bone Especialo" is excellent at $35). As we were eating the sky opened and the rain was quite persistently heavy. Decided to scrap this end of things and drove back to San Isidro. Had more rain at Palomares. To San Isidro after dark for a room & dinner at the Hotel Chirripo. I have seen very little worthwhile habitat in this portion of Costa Rica south of San Isidro. There are no bat streams as the riparian forest has been cut &, where not, they are just trickles in steep ravines. It is clear that the area has been recently developed (one can see good forest but can't get to it) and the doom seems to be on the upswing. I doubt that many localities in this area over five years old would be worth re-investigating, unless the beasts sought were abundant in disturbed areas. The road would also be little fun to road drive. The one patch of good habitat we found at Finca "Tienda Santo" was not good for bat diversity, but we were unable to work it extensively & this might bear some

D.O. Strange 1978 128. 13 Aug. (contd.) more work. Were it not for todays Heteroptera I would count the days we've spent here totally frustrating. I suspect that other collectors would have similar results - a few good things that barely make the effort to come S of Cerritos de la Muerto profitable. And in only a little while, this whole region will be as disturbed as that around San Jose' & the Merceda Central. 14 Aug. San Isidro del General, Prov. San Jose' to Rd. "La Georgina", Prov. San Jose up by 8 & on the road up to Canaan. This rd takes of N from the SE end of town near Post. "Bavaria". It is a moderately good gravel rd that winds up a hilly valley. The habitat is quite disturbed with much banana & cattle. Very scenic tho, w/ one large rocky river. Returned to San Isidro then drove back up to "La Georgina" for lunch. Got permission to set nets in the woods behind here. It is lacking in much understorey except for some ground orchids (in bloom) & short trees. The ground slopes moderately to the N & there are some nice luis trees. Set 9 nets (160') in here in a large arc down & around the restaurant. Had dinner & got a room & rested 'til sundown then set up nets. Got ~ 5 Sturmiina + 2 Eptericus?

O. Straney 1978 129. 14 Aug (cont'd) right off. ~ 8:30 started raining & sat in car till 10:45 when it slackened & rechecked & took down nets, getting the other Sterniva . To bed after a fairly miserable night by 12. 15 Aug. Root. "la Georgina" Prov. San Jose to Limon, Prov. Limon Breakfast & on the rd by 9. Drove to Cartago then took the rd. to Turrubalva (C->Tun. ~ 2 hrs) in a driving rain. Today is Mother's Day & everyone is on the rd & in cemeteries. In Turrubalva, went to the IICA headquarters just S of town to check out the pond here that Sam Sweet suggested. The pond is a small marsh, little open water & too big to net. No fruit trees or bananas near by - a manicured lawn. Went back to town for lunch at the Hong Kong Rest. & Ray got in touch with his mother's friend Juan Yee, a very successful dusinessman. Went to his house & met the family & carried on a conversation in Chinese (Ray & Juan), Spanish (Ray, Juan & family) & English (Ray & me & daughter Rosalia). After ~ 2 hrs left the rd. for Saguirres, (~ 1 1/2 hrs), a real dump of a town w/o hotel. We looked at the many rivers along the Hwy on to Limon & found one (Rio Pacaurito) that was the right size & with some excellent forest Not the rd. I processed bats & Ray cut poles

10. Stoney 1978 130. Aug. (cont'd.) and got 2 nets up by dark. The good riparian habitat actually extended only a little way. The moon is near full & by 8 PM was overhead - very bright & no bats (saw 2 Sace flying earlier but not now). Down nets & drove to Limon (~45min) & got a room ($140+) at the fancy Hotel Acon. Dinner in their nice restaurant & took frustrated at R. 16 Aug. Limon, Prov. Limon up by 7 & read for a while, breakfast down-stairs. Ray called another of his mother's friends Alfredo Yee, then we went to see this funky coastal town. Took a turn thru Parque Vargas but saw no sloths. A black dude whose English had little Carribean accent told me they would be out later in the PM. We talked for a while (found out one can score "anything you want man" at this park around 6:30 - 7 most sites) then went to the mercado and generally ambled around until we met Alfredo at the Acon at 3. Talked for a while then went out to the small fishing village of Portete N of town on the Main Rd. (had been by here earlier looking for habitat, but there is nothing good). He wanted to pick up lobsters from a boat of his that was out fishing & we waited 'til ~6:00 for this.

Several frigate birds soared overhead, off diving down for the fish used to bait the lobster traps: ~ 2m. made of wooden poles with sharpened tips & chicken wire. For bouys, they use a 1 1/2 m. chunk of bamboo (~1 ft diam) painted w/ white bands w/ the numbers on the white. The boats used are basically variations on a canoe and many are carved from one tree trunk - very ocean worthy, but they don't often look that way close up. Alfredo's boat came in & one man who knew where lots were on a nearby Finca said a gringo had recently paid a Finca worker 2 1/2 Colones per bat & snake for live shipment & none were left. Couldn't find out anything about the purchaser to help identify him. Took the lobster home for a dinner en famile at Alfredo's store across the

Family includes wife & her (mat) mother, daughter (highschool in Houston), son, brother (~30) & his son (also to state for private school) & a nephew recently over (as was brother) from China. The daughter spoke good English & the 2 of us played cards while the [illegible] cooked & Ray had a gay old time in Chinese. An "appetizer" of the legs & unclawed primary leg of the beasts - there are very good & apparently the tails are trucked off to the States & the locals eat the legs - obviously the best part as the tails are tough, & with little flavor. Then had rice, tails & steak for the rest of the meal. Around 8:30 drove back to town & took the room Alfredo had reserved for us at the Hotel Miami - the only hotel in town with parking - air conditioned for ~$80. To bed ~1. 2 Aug. Limon, Prov. Limon up by 8 then to Alfredo's where we were served breakfast. We then spent ~1½ hrs trying to catch Molossus________________________in his roof, getting 7. There were maybe 30 there, most down in the angle of the roof. It was very hot & cramped up there. The bats did not fly but scurried into crevices & under the plastic spread

Had a quick lunch of fried lobster & rice, then Alfredo took us out to a culvert 2.5 to 3km S on the Rio Blanco rd which is 12 km up the Hwy from Limon. The culvert has 5 pipes ~ 1m diam set in concrete under this Finca road (cacao & banana). Saw bats in the pipes so set a net & Ray threw rocks. Did this twice & got all bats from the culvert (one or two maybe got out). 15 Macrophyllum (short rostrum & very large feet), 2 Micronycteris cf. Megalotis & 2 large Glossophaga. It was really hot, but we had fun getting these. Then drove up further on the road but found nothing more so returned to town. We went back to the Miami, showered, had dinner & processed bats. Talked & read, to bed by 12. 8 Aug. Limon, Prov. Limon up by 8 & on the rd by 9:30. Spent the day until 2:30 driving down the gravel roads off of the main Hwy looking in culverts & under bridges. Saw no bats. There is also very little habitat along these roads - all plantations with

Napped, showered and had dinner, then talked 'til 10:30 & bed. Aug. Limon, Prov. Limon, to Turrialba Prov. Cartago Up at 7:30 & to Alfredo's by 8:30 for breakfast. We spent a few hours getting set, then left the port at Moín going up the Inland Passage N by boat. There is mangrove near Moín that gives way to palms & nice forest. We went 15-20km N to Laguna Magarta (?) where a river breaks thru the barrier island to reach the sea. Spent until 4 there walking the beach, fishing & eating - generally relaxing. On the return stopped at mouth of the Rio Torro for a sandwich - saw a crocodilia here (3-4' long) & many small fish. Back at Alfredo's by 4 we were on the rd to Turrialba by 4:30. Between 5 & 5:15 we saw 2 sloths (Bradypus geucus - 3 bed) crossing the road. Got pictures of these strange animals? Used a stick to get one out of the way of some tracks & he clawed onto it - quite a strong grip. Hit Turrialba after dark & got a room at the Hotel Central (another warley may have been better) w/ parking ($ 30) and a very hard bed. To bed - 11.

D.O. Stoney 1978 135. 20 Aug. Turrubal, Prov. Cartago to San Jose up at 7 with diavela & ackes all over. Drove up to Santa Cruz on the rd to Jazú- no habitat, save at a small rocky river with very steep sides. Returned to town & met up w/ Juan Yoe who took us on a tour of the TICA grounds, then lunch at the Rest. Nueva Hong Kong. By now am sure I have tourista & on the drive to San Jose am quite nauseous. We drove out of town thru Heredia on the Vlean Poas rd. up to Vera Blanca, a Gardner locality. This area is pastureland with intermingled copses & we may have found habitat but I was feeling pretty bad. Back to town thru Aljuela (a much better road) & a room at the Tala. To bed miserable at 9. 21 Aug. San Jose up at 7 & feeling slightly better but still with runs. Start packing & go to Pan Am to get on tomorrow's flight home. I got queasy so came back & packed & took it easy while Ray did all the town work. Export permit OK, but he had some tense moments trying to get to the University to drop off one of each

San Jose, C.R. to Berkeley Up at 5 & got a cab to airport, arriving 6 am, checked in, paid $5/per for exit change then waited for the 7:35 flight of Pan Am 542 to Guat. City. Rolf Kopfer showed up to see Jack Bradley & Sandy Varencamp off on the same flight! They had found a roost of 50 Furipetra at Fuera la Selva a week earlier. Flight to Guat. City uneventful, over the Nicaraguan lakes. Pan Am 516 from G.C. to SFO was delayed 2 1/2 hrs by a work slowdown by passenger service agents, so made several trips to the duty free shops. The Tourista of the last few days seems to have passed. Customs in LA was hurried, but no problems. We were the last back on 516 for the hop to SF and discovered one bottle of Moalox spilled in Ray's pack. Finally arrived SFO at 7 pm where Teel Papenfuss was waiting. It took 20 mins, tho, for the luggage to show up. Back in Berkeley by 10 PM.
