1983 18 January (continued) Quelzada crossing, and encountered Jorge (19 year old who needs a beige grove near here) carry a large Microsaurus nigrocinclus he found. It was still moving the injured, waving its coiled tail and tilting a lot. Interestingly, he had chopped off the tail tips! After lunch Jorge and I walked E to the little sandy, then N. into the forest for a few hundred meters - two hours round trip. Saw only an Anolis, a few of the Eleutherodactylus cf. ed thifus I'm no longer collecting, and a group of white faced monkeys. Very cloudy and humid. Back at camp, at 1536 hr, it started raining again! Quit at 1605. Mike Grayson brought in a Rhadinaea decorata; Gary Hartshorn four Eleutherodactylus that I haven't seen before, from the Quasino Ridge trail we were on yesterday; Cathy Pingle a Dendrobates pumilio and a Bufo haematiticus from forest near the Quelzada Cartarano; and Antonio a small Smarctodes, a giant Anolis, a pretty Bufo, and a bright lime green Atelopus. The Smarctodes he found in a plant that he cut that sounds like Dieffenbachia; it crawls when held, but shows no defensive behaviour. The Anolis he knocked off a tree trunk, and it is a gravid f. He found the Atelopus at the highest point he's cut trail, along a stream into the Rio Peje. Found an adult Bufo haematiticus in the road between camp and the Quelzada Cartarana at x 1930 hrs.
