Stevens, Esq., and Other Travellers. date: None words: 13857 flesch: 50 summary: The Senor confesses that these circumstances inspired him with unlimited confidence in that traveller's statements upon other subjects; and when Mr. Huertis read to him the further account of the information given to Mr. Stevens by the jolly and merry, but intelligent old Padre of Quiche, respecting other ruined cities beyond the Sierra Madre, and especially of the living city of independent Candones, or unchristianized Indians, supposed to have been seen from the lofty summit of that mountain range, and was told by Messrs. Huertis and Hammond that the exploration of this city was the chief object of their perilous expedition, the Senor adds, that his enthusiasm became enkindled to at least as high a fervor as theirs, and that, with more precipitancy than prudence, in a man of his maturer years and important business pursuits, he resolved to unite in the enterprise, to aid the heroic young men with his experience in travel and knowledge of the wild Indians of the region referred to, and to see the end of the adventure, result as it may. But the most stimulating story of all, was the existence of a _living_ city, far on the other side of the great sierra, large and populous, occupied by Indians of the same character, and in precisely the same state, as those of the country in general, before the discovery of the continent and the desolating conquests of its invaders. keywords: city; country; course; days; expedition; hammond; horses; huertis; indians; men; mules; padre; party; plain; return; senor; sierra; time; velasquez cache: 29388.txt plain text: 29388.txt item: #2 of 14 id: 32505 author: León, Juan R. title: The Systematics of the Frogs of the Hyla Rubra Group in Middle America date: None words: 17002 flesch: 74 summary: _Hyla boulengeri_ and _rubra_ are widespread in South America, and _foliamorta_ occurs in Colombia, whereas the other species are known only from Middle America. | (0.41) | | | | | Costa Rica: Tilarán | 21 | 28.8-33.6| 0.47-0.57 |0.48-0.65| 0.40-0.46 | | (30.6) | (0.52) | (0.59) | (0.41) | | | | | Costa Rica: Puerto | 22 | 26.3-32.4| 0.49-0.54 |0.48-0.65| 0.38-0.45 Viejo | | (29.7) | (0.52) | (0.57) | (0.42) | | | | | Costa Rica: Turrialba| 95 | 28.1-35.0| 0.47-0.56 |0.47-0.68| 0.37-0.46 | | (30.6) | (0.51) | (0.56) | (0.41) | | | | | Costa Rica: Bataán, | 26 | 26.3-32.7| 0.47-0.54 |0.45-0.66| 0.36-0.44 Limón, and Suretka | | (30.0) | (0.51) | (0.50) | (0.41) | | | | | Costa Rica: Piedras | 21 | 33.3-37.7| 0.50-0.54 |0.48-0.64| 0.40-0.46 Blancas | | (35.2) | (0.51) | (0.57) | (0.43) | | | | | Costa Rica: Rincón de| 24 | 31.4-35.9| 0.50-0.56 |0.45-0.61| 0.40-0.46 Osa | | (34.1) | (0.53) | (0.54) | (0.43) | | | | | keywords: = =; america; boulengeri; brown; central; costa; dark; elaeochroa; eye; hyla; length; panamá; present; rica; rubra; snout; species; specimens; staufferi; white; | | cache: 32505.txt plain text: 32505.txt item: #3 of 14 id: 32653 author: Duellman, William Edward title: A Review of the Frogs of the Hyla bistincta Group date: None words: 8769 flesch: 71 summary: The statements of Brocchi and Kellogg to the contrary, the type of _Cauphias crassus_ possesses intercalary cartilages between the penultimate and terminal phalanges; the latter are not T-shaped, but as in the type of _Hyla robustofemora_, resemble those typical of _Hyla_.
