There, H. 1980 22 November (continued) She had five Spilotes, Pydophis boddaerti, and 4 Bothrops. Three of the vipers were B. pictus from near Triva - small brown snakes rather reminiscent of Agkistrodon halys. Photographed one - it had a prehensile tail, and sometimes seemed to sidewind as I looked it about. The fourth might be B. barretti - it is large and heavy bodied w/ large dark & yellow diamonds and a light head. Very aggressive - struck repeatedly & advanced toward me all the while beating its tail on the substrate. This snake is from Chiclayo and is known by the locals as cascabel. Photographed them both - neither looks at all like B. atrox, as they are said to (e.g., Parker, Schmidt & Walker). After visit, back to hotel to wash off the formalina (no agua in her labs) and by cab to Pueblo Libre. After much trouble, we located the Restaurant Riselli on Calle Mar and then took in the Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology. Then home, nap, supper. Borrowed typewriter from desk
