June, 11 1991 june 29 (continued) for track sampling stations. june 30 walked transect to consider track stations. Visited breeding sites of Azgyclus calcarifer. From 2108-2125h I watched a small adult Smartodes insignatus in a Ficus "lushi" in the Cartazara, by the "14" sign. The snake spanned gaps from twig to the tops of foliage clusters, and across foliage clusters, but never extended out and down onto a cluster or leaf as does t. cenchoa. There were numerous volleys of tongue flicks as it traveled over the out part of the bush. I estimate it searched x 6 cubic meters of foliage in 15 minutes. july 1 Walked the vertebrate monitoring transect w/ Charles Bauch this afternoon - at 1515h, x 540 500m, we missed a juvenile Bothrops asper as it crawled off the trail into forest litter. At 2036h w/ Heidi Rbeek I caught an adult Leptodeira septentrionalis on the ground at x 501: 400; it was crawling slowly when first found, but ran fast, then writhed, discharged its cloacal contents, and bit repeatedly. At 2146h there was a small adult Smartodes insignatus in the Ficus bush near "14" in the Cartazara. july 4 Things have been fairly chaotic here, and I've let several items go unwrote - some to be added later than they occured after getting dates from Wendy or
