far from the falls itself (per-
haps) a mile or 2). Tall evergreen
trees; understory of leafy bushes
and young trees and an occasional
[pardanus?]. Ground moist, especially
in the bottom of the gully near
the stream. Leaf would yield
good Callembala and some beetles;
sweeping the jungle undergrowth
near the creek was also produc-
tive. Entire area - filtered sunlight.
Temperature - 86°-90° F.

Nocturnal collecting: in the
compound of the rest house on the
north side of the river, situated at
the brink of the cliff over-
looking the falls and the
immense canyon below. The
rest house is located in a
relatively undisturbed spot,
backed on the one side by
natural forest (mixed evergreen -
deciduous, tending more to the
former), on the other by the
cliffside flora - grasses,
smaller trees, and shrubs.

The evening temperature was 75°F,
but bright moonlight apparently
was the cause for slow collecting,
as well as the dry season, of
course.
