1983 19 January (continued) Chacón and Cathy Pringle went east to the Rio Guasimo, across it, and up a little stream into an area of many bromeliads and much moss. They got a Bufo and an Oxybelis near the house at the Rio, more or less due east of here. They got what seems to be Andis lionotus and 5 Helopus (lime green, like the one yesterday) along the smaller stream. The little Oxybelis was crawling among rocks and roots near the Rio. Antonio and Hartshorn made a circuit out the Peje Ridge trail south several kilometers, then east to the Rio Guasimo at the house and back via the canil to camp. They got a Rhadinæa decorata and a Bothrops nasutus on the trail in the morning, a Dynorbis melanostropis ≈1.5km west of the Rio Guasimo on the way to it, and a Rhadinæa decorata and a Leptophis depressirostris on the canil back to camp. The Dynorbis was dead, and contained a large gravid ♀ frog, cf. Elutherodactylus biporcatus . The Leptophis gapes and stithes. The second Rhadinæa broke part of its tail off in capture. The Bothrops sat quietly alternating w/ jumps/ sidewinding for several centimeters. Only a brief show at sundown, all day. 20 January Left camp at 0845hr w/ Cathy Pringle, Eladio Lopez, and Isidro Chacón, heading southeast on the "road" out of camp. After the little sandoito that's 20 minutes or so out, the trail is miserable. Very loose mud at
