Nevada 1950 Journal 72 Nov. 22 Villavicencio, 1400 ft., Meta, Colombia, S.A. Carlos Velasquez nightlighting along the small creek which flows along the S side of town. In my Nov. 19 Journal I believe I omitted mention of the drifts and small rafts of rice hulls along this stream. These apparently come from a processing plant upstream. Carlos and I worked till about 11:00, covering about 1/2 mile of the stream. A few calls of Leptodactylus species were heard - no other anurans were heard. Carlos said the lack of activity was due to the bright moonlit night; I believe the relatively dry condition of the area may have been a contributory factor; it had rained a bit at about 4:00 P.M., but had dried off more thoroughly than on other days. On Nov. 19, when there was much activity at this place, the ground and the vegetation were quite moist. For today see species accounts of: Kyla crepitans, Bufo marinus, Caiman Leptodactylus lineata popliea, Leptodactylus obscura, and Rana palmipes.
