Hendriksen 1950 Journal 77 Nov. 25 El Mico (46) 4 km S., 22 km W San Martin, 1600 ft, Meta, Colombia, S. A. Near the point where the plane landed, caught a small anole-like lizard in the grass of the landing field- later lost it. We walked to the S. end of the field and over to a creek at the edge of the forest where there is a workman's camp, then down a cleared (20' wide) trail to the Rio Diegar (turning E at this point). The creek is fast, shallow, and clear, with frequent rills and at least one 8' fall; it runs over a rocky bed through dense forest. At points where it is 6'-8' wide it has an average depth of 4"-6". The Rio Diegar is a large torrent at the point where I saw it, with white water rapids, and a large (100 yd.) mill on one side. Its water is a light gray in color. We collected en route to and from the river, then rode horseback about 3 miles N to the ranch "El Mico" where we will stay. We will sleep in hammocks here. For today see species accounts for: Colinus cristatus; Crotophaga, lizard, water anole, a Bufo microphthalmus.
