Nordruchson 1950 Journal 14 Oct. 21 5 km N Villavieja, 1400 ft., Huila, Colombia, S.A. before dusk. Set out 25 Museum Speciale; around camp (incl. 5 tree sets) and along brushy edges of quebrada 5 of camp. Dr. Stebbins and I walked about '8-1/4 mile down quebrada 5 of camp after dark. Collected Bufo granulosis, Hyla crepitans, and "ranidi" (see species accounts) Oct. 22 During the night something (bat?) afe part of one of the bananas in a basket of fruit hanging in camp. 25 traps out yielded no rodents (see Hyla crepitans species account). I left camp at about 6:15 A.M. and walked to town along the railroad track, returning by the same route and arriving in camp at about 10:00 A.M.) En route back to camp, a large, raddish-brown hawk flew low overhead, carrying a frog. At one point there is a cattle crossing across the R.R. tracks, with a cattle guard at each side of the crossing. The guard is a box-like concrete pit about 4' deep. In one I found 2 snake vertebral columns; in the other I found the remains of an armadillo. Temp, in shade, at camp at 1:30 P.M.
