15 January (continued)
It was more or less solid light green when first handed to me, with yellow eyelid. After a few minutes of handling it had dark splotches on the dorsum. Seems to be a ? w/a very small dewlap, bluish white w/black spots.
16 January Left at 1000h w/ Michael Hartzum and Eladio Lopez (says) started up the Quebrada Cartazara but w/in 100m turned W. into forest and bushwatched for ~1/2 hours, checking in holes, buttresses, etc. w/a light for snakes. Came to newly cut trail, turned south and w/in 20 minutes encountered Hartzum, Mario Rodriguez, and the two trail cutters at a stream. By then we had caught (and seen) only a single Dendrobates pumilio and seen tracks and of paca. One of the trail cutters, Tonio, had just caught a Sphenocephalus cherisei on the next ridge, which we checked out. Hartzum called it cloud forest. Even farther, Tonio had seen Tapesus tracks. Eladio, Michael, Gary Hartzum and I then walked downstream, starting at ~1245h. We soon met a larger stream coming in from the right, then a nice waterfall, then a much larger waterfall in a very deep gorge which we had to skirt. Arrived at camp ~1430h. Saidio Chacon and Carlos Hongz had been in forest off the trail east of camp, and brought me a pretty Eleutherodactylus. They saw 'Monos Colorados', Adeles. Since
