Nov. 21 1/2 mi. E. Quarameta, 3100 ft., Meta, Colombia, S.A.
At this point, where Caño Maizaro (or
Caño Parrado?) crossed the road, the
stream is a clear, fast brook, averaging
about 8' wide by about 6" deep. It runs
on a fairly clean-swept boulder and
gravel bed with many little cascades
and pools. We worked the stream
bed is in a canyon with steeply-
sloping walls (some small, almost level
benches at canyon bottom, terminating
in 4'-8' cut banks to stream bed),
heavily vegetated with fairly small
trees, large ferns, bushes, vines, and
other tropical vegetation. We worked
up the stream bed, making short
excursions into the streamsde
vegetation. Under a rock in a small
trickle on the canyon wall (near the
main stream) I found a crab (preserved
for deposit in invertebrate collection at
Zool. Dept., U.C.). I saw and missed a
2"-3" snout-vent length, very thin-legged
frog - to me it looked Rhytid-like. While
working along on my hands and knees
under dense vegetation, I apparently
disturbed it from a roost above me.
