C. Carolin 1967 Journal 72 October 5 Yamei yaveja, Rio Chico, Darien Prov., Panama of is a slow start. See time table. got two hours sleep total during the night. Very tired. (October) Many more bats after 12 midnight than the other night. #718 was found under a house. #719 in a 15 foot high net between two palm trees. #720 on lawn. #721 was "captured alive" set free) town. They call it "chicken of the mountain!" tried to raise it but with no luck. No became very weak. Tonight is the big night. The five best little hunters, Peter & I are going frog hunting. It is dry - very dry - for this time o year & we are almost out of drinking (rain) water so I haven't any high hopes for a huge catch. We went across up the river a little. Saw nothing. We stopped at the yaveja sawmill & scouted around. Under some large (dia 2 feet) logs we found #722 Also here we found #723 , 724 , #725 , #726 just a few hundred yards further on at midday we found #727 + 728 These few little frogs having taken so long to find we decided to wait for a rain before we have an organized frog hunt again.
