Heese, H. 1997 May 31 these sympatric pitvipers. We have a (continued) Vietnamese journalist with us who w/ no promptly has collected two newts, one of which already dead. At 1850hr we visit newt pond and see a Parasemotrior ~ 30cm under walk 1.5m from the bank, resting on a submerged cement bag. We walk up onto road along old french ruins and into them, and Dave Hardy found an orange-bogged Scelopendra at 1940hr. At 2030hr Kelly finds a head and shoulders of a rat (white belly) w/ rest of torso clearly eaten (?) off, at 960m. Mark Muffett found a fly blown mole about the same time. At about 2130hr I sensed smelly like a mosquito bite on lateral surface of right hand and little finger; by 2300 hr the whole digit red and swollen. June 1 Finger still red and swollen, tends to bend, especially in joints. Hunter kay in Leioptelis multianctus, which forms S-cvil, bites, and often protrudes blue tongue. At 1545hr we installed a Hobo data logger at "Stream#1." Kelly and I walked up to TV tower, 1230m at top.
