E fork Rito de los Frijoles, 8920 ft, Sandoral G., New Mexico
July 13, 1958
2 were m with immature testes and one was a q that had
six ova measuring 1.95, 1.55, 1.85, 1.75, 1.00, 4.75 mm respectively
(measured with ocular micrometer in dissecting scope). These
salamanders were collected from rotten logs actually sitting
in this small stream, the east fork of the Rito Frijoles. The
location is the point where state highway 4, between Bandelier
Nat. Mon. and Valle Grande, crosses the creek and is
the same locality where Schad collected several specimens of
this salamander last summer. The point is, I believe
approximately 8 miles west (by road) of Bandelier. It is
on the Bland Quadrangle of the U.S. Geol. Survey topo sheets.

Went out this morning in the pine woods to watch birds.

Saw a frog on the edge of the stream that runs through
the forest. The stream runs fairly swift but there are
a few pools and it was on the moist, sandy edge of one of
the pools that I caught the frog. It jumped for the
water as I reached for it. The time was about 7 A M
and the weather was cool with the sun not yet up. The
stream is not rocky, and the pools are formed by log
obstructions.
