Hendrickson 1950 Journal 25 Nov. 2 5 A.M. N Cerbatara, 1400 ft., Huila, Colombia, S. A. River running very muddy, but Duebrada Cerbatara clear again, as usual. 20 Museum Speciales and two steels out. Nov. 3 Heavily salted with tiny ticks tonight. 20 traps out. Nov. 3 Nothing in traps. Walked down Duebrada Cerbatana to Magdalena River, and Along the river bank for a short distance, and returned to camp. See species accounts: Stelgidopteryx, (Dramifer) 'fretus non', Ameiva, C. ani, Psarcolius, Colinus. Smored young Ameiva at edge of camp in thorn brush. An afternoon walked over high plate 5 of camp. I have noted three kinds of termites in this area: a small species which builda tunnele and "nests on fence posts; a larger species with minute soldiere which build arboreal "nests" and tunnels (see bat #14399 Brotogeris (Phyllostomus) and another larger (than 1st above) species which build soil towers on open, rather barren, ground. The last species has "orthodox" soldiere. At night I walked, with jacklight, down R.R. tracks to vicinity of Duebrada Fajas and returned via same route. See species accounts: Lyliolagen, adivan, poor-will, Hylaeospiza
