Journal Hafner, M.S. 1978 7 km N, 3 km E Cartago, Prov. Cartago, Costa Rica 7 July (cont) We kept all of the live animals and drove to the Macrogeomys locality (above). We had 2 set-offs, but no other activity. We set one more set at a brand-new hole on the hillside with the growth of cane about 0.3 m tall. 0800 drove into Cartago for breakfast. Walked through the local market-place where we bought bananas, cucumbers and carrots. We also each bought an authentic piece of pottery (old) (pre-colombian) at an old shop. We hated not buying more, but we were restricted by space on the flight home. The pieces that John and I bought were picked-up near here at the Volcan Irazu, 0900 returned to the above locality - no activity. We reworked the traps then waited. We noted numerous interesting plants and animals nearby. Very many epiphytes - small orchids - many in bloom (blossoms 20mm dia.); many bromeliads - large & small. Numerous "rhinoceros beetles" about 15 mm long. Also noted several Scalesperous-like iguanid lizards- typical S. occidentalis size but with a black throat collar and lime-green coloration dorsally. The tail was even lighter green than the back. John found a leopard frog (10 cm sv).
