Greene, H. 1990 June 26 (continued) pad 53 mm, toes 105 mm; and pad 69 mm, toes 115 mm - perhaps a slightly smaller cat than we recorded here a few days ago. at ~2115 m, ~CES 130 m, Anna Graybeal (U.C. Berkeley student in the tropical biology course) and Wendy Roberts found an Omartodes conchoca next to the boardwalk on the ground (11.5 g, 565+240 mm). June 27 With Billie and David Hardy and Anna Graybeal, walked out SOR, SHO, SUA, Camino Central to 1350 m, and back via CCL. Caught a juvenile Bufo haematidus in litter beside SHO at 75 m. Saw a few, seemingly fresh Panthera onca tracks at ~SUA 550 m, ~ same size as seen there this past week. After dark, Michael and Patricia Fogden caught two Silbon longipenis along the sidewalk going to the Old River Station (14 g, 400+150 mm; 6.2 g, 311+144 mm). June 28 After dinner Dave and Billie Hardy and I walked out the Sendero Suria, through the Arboretum. at SUA ~150 m Billie spotted a large ~Micrurus microleucus crawling slowly around a small tree at trailsides at 2008 hrs. During the next 6 minutes the snake crawled slowly, covering ~1 meter, poking its head under leaves and tongue flicking. At 2014 hr I moved one foot lightly and the coral snake crawled quickly (but not rapidly) into a small [illegible] hole at the base of the tree. Only thing we saw in the Arboretum was an adult Eleutherodactyls fitzingeri in midtrail.
