El Paiso,
Nov. 25 4km. S, 22 km. W San Martin), 1600 ft., Meta, Colombia, S.A.
After supper Dr. Stebbins, one of the ranch
men and I went out nightlighting
near the ranch house. Heard one or
two calls which sounded like
L.l. perleoxis and saw one frog
which looked like L. obscura
(could not collect it)
Nov. 26 Most of day spent writing notes, working
with specimens, and catering to a
case of diarrhea which is now
in its third day. Saw two kinds
of toveans this morning, and
parrots are calling at intervals
from trees near the ranch house.
Dr. Stebbins and I went out night-
lighting. Saw, but missed a fox-size
canid (Dusicyon?). Shot a Caiman
in spring small, clear stream leading
from the spring which serves as
water supply for the ranch. Where
the animal was first seen, the stream
is about 3'1/2-4' wide, about 6"-18" deep,
crystal clear and flowing slowly over
a boulder-and-sand bed. About 15' down
stream from this point the water flows
into a swampy area where there are numerous
still, clear pools among dense tree growth.
