S. D. Busack 1982 13 Jun "cont'd" FACINAS, 22.7 km SW on CA-221, 40 m. elev., one TARANTOLA MAURITANICA (1542, 11.75g, 74+62R, TB = 26.5, TA=29) and one P. hispanica (1549, γˈ, 2.9 g, 50+79R, TB = TA = 25 C) collected along a stone wall which acts as the support for a culvert. In the evening we road drove CA-221 until about 2am. (sunset was ≈ 2130 hrs). To say that luck was with us would be the understatement of the year! 0.8 km W. of km. 6 on CA-221 we found the FIRST Vipera LATASTI even documented from the province of CADIZ! I, of course, took tissue, and PHOTOS, and he is now #1551 (γˈ, 20g, 263+42) somewhere in Spain. Further down the road, 0.6 km NW km. 9 on CA-221, we found a Bufo bufo (1552, f, 200g, 119mm), a MACROPROTODON cucullatus (1553, γˈ, 18.0g, 305+64), and a Hyla meridionalis (the Hyla was calling from 2 m. up in a tree; 1554, γˈ, 5.4g, 43mm). 0.5 km W. km. 15, 200m, we found one Bufo bufo (γˈ, 1555, 17g, 54 mm) and one Discoglossus pictus (1556, γˈ, 8.8g, 44mm) A.O.R. We returned to Facinas and, on the return trip, found 2 more Bufo bufo men FACINAS (1557, f, 295g, NE -75-
