Heene, H. 1984 8 July at 1600hr, w/ the Fozders, I found B. asper ch2 (continued) in same place, 25/30; air, 26C; ground, 25.2 C. Bright sky, partly cloudy. 9 July at 0745hr I can't see B. asper ch2, but the signal is still strong from the same place; 25/30; air, 24C; ground, 24C. Clear and sunny. at approx 0815hr photographed Nops limifera and caught pretty N. lemurinus F approx 1m up on leaf. Very nimbly jumped to adjacent tree. At 0830hr, snake, 25/30; air, 24.5C; ground, 24.2 C. at approx 0845hr walked completed around that part of the gap (no fun, scary) and signal seems strongest by Croneliad, under brush. Couldn't see snake. Still hot and sunny. At 0900hr snake is 25/30; air, 25C; ground, 25C; bright, partly cloudy. Thinking about art and landscape: surrealistic forest and Garcia Marquez versus the epistential desert and Camus. at 0930 hr it is still bright and partly cloudy, 22C/30; air, 26C; ground 25C. At 0955hr I spotted the snake stretched out and emerging from brush on the E side and approx 3m from the Croneliad. Took photos. Snake was in full sun, sky overcast. Head points W from a hairpin approx 10 circles back, and rest of the visible (approx 1/2) part of snake is pointing E. 24/30; air, 26C; ground, 25C. At 1015hr, snake
