S.D. BUSACK W/ J.A.VISAW 1983-1 10 MAR 1983 SPAIN: CADIZ PROVINCE; PUERTO REAL Arrived yesterday at Malaga and the REGENTE CAR person had our CITROEN waiting for us. After paying him for the insurance, we went to MARBELLA and stayed at the HOTEL BELARCOS - a nice hotel that was too expensive ($33.00/Double) and at which the food was less than great. We re-enjoyed the car, had breakfast on the road today and drove to CADIZ for the liquid Nitrogen and then to Jerez de la FRIA for the journey. After getting ourselves equipped, we drove down the Jerez - Puerto Real road and located a pond where we searched for amphibians. Although the pond was pretty dried up compared with last year, we did find Pleurodeles waltli, Pelobates cultripes larvae, a Natrix maura, and a Bufo bufo in the vicinity. Under debris on the NW west side of the pond (located on the W. side of the road, 2.5 km E. of Puerto Real) we also found 11 transformed Pleurodeles waltli : SDB 1743 4.7g , 53mm SVL + 42 tail 1744 4.7 , 54 + 52 1745 4.3 , 55 + 47
