Green, H. 1990 June 19 (continued) The tips of the splayed toes at 120 mm. Then, perhaps 400 m further west at the junction of CC & SUA we found fresh Felis concolor tracks heading east, with a pad of 55 mm and parallel toes of 82 mm. Identification of the respective tracks seems unambiguous based on shape & size, vide J. Emmons new guide to rainforest mammals. Before lunch we also walked through the "research swamp" at approx CES 200, where Wendy is studying frogs, and out to CES 550', but saw no snakes. Floated down the river this afternoon and saw one protruding rock and two horizontal tree trunks (one fallen at river's edge, are growing out from banks) w/ evidence of or piles of Jutia longicaudus feces. approx 2200 hrs I checked the Cantarana Swamp and saw a >=50 cm Synbranchus protruding out from under a log. When I caught the eel it instantly flipped a meter away and was gone. June 20 From approx 0800-1100 hrs Dave, Billie, and I walked out the CES, LOC, and back in to the station by 550 ad CCL. At 550-800 we found a very old cat scat -- or at least a pile of bone chips, teeth, and a little fur in mid-trail. Also cf. ? Nopope borunius on a tree trunk. From approx 2000 - 2200 hrs. we walked out SOR # 5140 to the successional plots, then through them and back in to the Sendero Cantarana via SSE and SOR. At 1945 hrs Billie spotted
