Dec. 5 Bogota, 8700 ft (8500 ft)
Carindamerica, Colombia, S. A.
Dr. Stebbins and I left the Hotel Claridge
at about 6:40 A.M. and went up on
Montevate to the localities where
we had collected before. See species
account of Phylllobates subpunctatus.
We walked down along the boulevard and
descended through the Parque Nacional
to the city level. We were able to collect
a few Oedignus and some "Dark Bogota (Hylioid?) Frogs"
in the short time available up on
the hill. At 10:00 A.M. we went to
see Dr. Manuel Doca, Instituto Carlos
Finlay; he will write a letter to
the ministry of agriculture requesting
permission to export our livestock
with me. Then we went to
Ciudad Universitaria. I said
goodbye to Dr. Gutierrez (Servicios
Deologicos) while Dr. Stebbins revisited
the Ryla labralis habitat for photos
and specimens. Later we visited
the men at the Instituto de Ciencias
Naturales and picked up our box of
skins (stored there) and a live boa they
gave us as a present. P.M. spent
packing and doing miscellaneous
chores.
