Greene, H. 1987 21 December at 0955h I was called to an adult leptophis (continued) depressa onis approx 2m above ground in a litch at the clearing edge, in words. It was immobile, started to crawl when I reached fruit, and thrashed, spun, and gaped once briefly when seized. But my leg as I palped a frog from it. Snake 698+407 mm, 58g. The leptodactylus pentadactylus was only a few cm distal to the snake's head and made feeble movements when touched (2.25g, HWG 1722); swallowed tail-first. Left for San Jose at 1300h. 28 December Returned to La Selva approx 1100h, after a week in San Jose w/ Carmen Rojas and her family for Christmas. In my absence the little Bothrops nasutus bit and killed the Corallus annulatus and Oxyrhopus petola, among seven snakes with which it was caged. After dark on the 25th, Jenny Rover encountered an Oxyrhopus petola on the sidewalk near the main lab that rapidly climbed approx 3m up a small tree in its attempt to escape (HWG 1723). at 0945h today David Clark caught a juvenile Xenodon nabdocephalus in front of my cabina (#1) that gave him an "impressive display" and regurgitated a small leptodactylus pentadactylus (HWG 1724, 1725). I palped a second, partially digested h. pentadactylus from the snake approx 1400h, swallow TF, and allowed it to be reingested. This little Xenodon responded to the approach of a hand by rapid lateral undulation w/ body and head not expanded,
