Nov. 15 Bogota, 8500 ft., Cundinamarca, Colombia, S.A.
of a rat killed near the lab. building (?).
This specimen is for Dr. Pearson. Dr.
Richter gave me three letters of introduction
(and request to aid me) which were to
me in Villavicencio. Those letters are
to:
1. Sr. Don Alfredo Lopez,
Manager, Meta Hotel
2. Corredor, Instituto Roberto Franco
3. Chief of Police, Meta.
4. Sr. Comandante de la Brigada, Meta.
From the Instituto we walked to the
Servicio Geologico and W from the Servicio
a few blocks to a meadow in
which we studied Hyla labialis
(see species account).
Nov. 16 Changed money. Went to Laboratorio y
Museo del Servicio Geologico (963,
Carrera 15), and with the help of
Perico and Paulino, re-packed our
gear stored there in preparation
for the Villavicencio trip. Most
of the gear will be kept there while
we are in Villavicencio. Perico
will care for three live animals and
the Canaan skin until we return.
Paid Perico off today. Bought
airplane tickets to Villavicencio.
