Alcove, H. 1983 17 June Eira Ja Selva, Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui, Provincia Heredia, Costa Rica Arrived here ~0800 hours. Left Berkeley 0600 on the 15th, spent that night in Miami and had 0600 flight to San Jose the next morning. Beautiful sunrise over the Caribbean, then spectacular view out window into smoking Volcano Poas. Spent day shopping in San Jose, then caught an OTS supply run at 0345 to here! Settled in. After lunch Milton Lieberman took me to ~450m sun on Carrizos Experimental, then ~150m to the right into the forest. Yesterday he found a large freshly killed armadillo w/ head and viscera eaten and flies loudly on it. We looked around the site he remembered, w/out finding it. Then I walked ~10m away and found the carapace and tail of a large Dasypus which he said was it. Took photos. 18 June After lunch went w/ George Schatz (U. Wisconsin) and Helen Young (Stanford) to 1435m on the Central Trail to collect a field scat he found fresh yesterday. On the way, 1350m and 1445h we found a pretty frog sitting in litter beside the trail that Gary Guyer later identified as Eleutherodactylus noblei. Also saw an E. vipercatus juvenile active in the litter. 19 June Left by myself at 0750 to visit E. Paniagua's
