1983 9 February (continued) on the shortcut trail between Sendero Sura to the arboretum and the AC lab. Says he's seen this lizard there before. When she opened her mouth to bite we could see a large green and yellow caterpillar w/ irritating (?) hairs, that Sharon Wesman identifies as. The prey weighs 1.01 g; the lizard 9.35g and is to be released after toe clipping (stomach item saved as HW6 1347). Clipped outside right front toe, SV81, tail 122mm, HW 12 mm. Walking back, just as we crossed the Sura bridge, almost to the washroom, a large Corytophanes cristatus crossed from N. to S. among us and Doug grabbed it. It inflated and gaped. SV117, tail 235mm, 46 g. 10 February Left at 0745h walked out Camino Experimental and into Vargas Tract by way of LOC and then the E-W trail. Saw Sphenomorphus and Ameiva, plus a group of 6+ Cebus just S. of the stairs near the end of CES. Walked until I reached a "no hunting" sign on a N-S Juchca, then turned N and stopped at the Rio Sarapiguiri. On the way back got a large scat (Felis onex?) 4/10 m beyond where I got the farthest out scats last week. This one was at least several days old. Returned to station for a drink, then took the N. capilla out of the Sura Trail and released it. Walked to far end
