Freese, H. 1991 July 23 (continued) and discharged a foul chloral substance when handled.

Then Paula and I donned waders and used Ardell's range finder to check some aspects of the A. saltator site in the Cantarana. The mass of moss-covered vines start ≈1.4m above boardwalks level and is 2.9m from the nearest railing in a horizontal path; it ends 4.45m up a hypotenuse to the vine; and the single vertical vine "ladder" hit the leafy Pentalethra branches where frogs spited at 9.7m up a hypotenuse from where I stood. After lunch I received a preserved Micrurus nigrocinctus that might have killed a woman, from Ronald Suarez. An elderly neighbor of his mother's complained of not feeling well after having been "spined" by something in her garden, and died a few hours later of
