Kendricksen 1950 Journal 3 Miami, Florida to Bogota', Cundinamarca, Colombia Oct. 12 able to get a few clear glimpses of what appeared to be many-storied, dense jungle on the W. foothills of the Eastern Colombian Andes. Landed in Bogota' at about 6:00 P.M. and were met by Dr. Jose Borrero, of the Instituto de Ciencias Naturales. Dr. Borrero had a gun permit for the shotgun, and we passed through customs without any real trouble. The authorities wanted at first to charge about 10 pesos duty on each gun, but were persuaded not to do so, largely on the evidence of the one gun being an old, much- used one. Upon leaving customs, Dr. Borrero introduced us to Dr. Fernando Osorno (an entomologist who is doubling in herpetology at the Instituto) and to Dr. Alvaro Torres-Barreto (Instituto herpetologist). (archivetarian who is also much interested in herpetology). All three men accompanied us to the Claridge Hotel in Bogota', and saw that we were satisfactorily settled there. Dr. Borrero, an ornithologist, speaks English well enough to converse easily. Drs. Osorno and Torres speak English a little, but not enough to converse in that language. All three men have been most helpful to me; particularly Dr. Borrero, who has devoted much of his time toward arranging for the guns, etc.
