Heere, H. 1997 June 6 fail to locate telemetered T. microsquamos (continued) along rock wall, both from middle loop road and upper loop road. At 2015h, 9:05m, as we walk down road at "Stream #3" a car passes and we find it has just hit a smallish T. microsquamos. We visit the big waterfall see 8-12 frogs scattered over the almost vertical wet rock face. Frogs seem to be a meter or more out from the actual taffort; Anolops ad one big ? Rana livida are >=5m up, but several smaller R. livida are w/in 1-2 m of the pool at the bottom. June 7 ~=10:30 we implant an adult ♂ Trimereessus sejnegeii (565+15/mm, 55g) that Oleg caught last night near "Stream #2." Note that last night I saw a 30cm 10-15 mm ♠ earthworm - one often sees earthworms here and they seem surprisingly resistant to dessication. Not only do we often see them out and crawling but mes we find dusty on the road die alive. Makes more understandable the episteme of a large seasonal duirsd worm-eater, Cyclopsis major. This morning Nikolai told me that the Xeropeltis he gave me had regurgitated an ♠ophusina
