Greene, H. 1984 '6 June (continued) (Berkeley postgrad) showed Michael Fyden asleep on a limb of a sapling, about 2.2 m above ground at the west end of the Sura Bridge on the AC lab sidewalk; a large Mastigodryas which I caught. 17 June Rained all morning and we stayed in. Right at noon [illegible] students from Duke summoned us to a Pentachetna tree just off the CCL near its origin. One man (Richard) had bent down to examine a seedling and saw a large Bothrops asper moving off. While one went for us the other watched, and shortly before we arrived it went down a hole. While we were standing around the hole it came out behind us and started into a brush pile, where we caught it.
