There, lt. 1987 July 16 (continued) a root was impressive, and I don't think the snake did it in response to my approach. In fact, it appeared unaware of me until I touched its neck w/ my hook. When seized it bit repeatedly, holding on and chewing a few seconds before release, and vibrated its tail strongly for a considerable portion of its length, also inflated neck when held. at 0908hr, SHO 700 m, a Leucopetris semifluores flow across the trail from a low branch and landed x 10m up on a branch facing away from me - was it hunty by the trail for reptiles? at 0928hr, at x SUH 600m, where the trail parallels a stream, an adult Basiliscus plumifrons jumped in the water x 15 m ahead of one, then ran x 10 m and parallel to the bank before emerging. Dave Hardy got a leptophis nebulosus at CES 500, on a pole (455+297mm, 12g), Ardell found another Bothrops marutus at the same place (256+29 mm, 17g). Richard Foster saw what was clearly an adult Larpropeltis triangulum on the Joop Trail, but it escaped in litter. I gave an evening talk on tropical predators to a field course run by Cathy Pingle and Jim Afolta from the UCB Botanical Garden. Afterward, Dave Hardy found an Eleutherodactylus fitzingeri (SV 47mm, 8.5g) on the sidewalk - feel it
