A.C. BITTNER 1959 ASCAPHUS RIVER POGEL FRAIT, 5000 FT., 12 MI. NW HASTY CAMP SITE. TO SEE SINCE THEY SO RESemble A PIECE OF GRANITE OF WHICH THE STREAM BED IS MADE. THIS Y LOOKED. TRO'S ARE QUITE ACTIVE TOO. SMALLER TRO'S ARE DEEPWHY BLACKISH ALTHO SOME ARE OLIVE GREEN AND ALL SEEM TO HAVE A WHITE TIP ON TAIL. LARGER TRO'S ARE MOTTLLED OLIVE GREEN & SOME OF MOST SEEM TO LACK THE WHITE TAIL TIP. THE H-LOOKING TRO'S ALREADY HAVE THE LIGHTER TRANS- VERSE SNOUT BAR OF THE BOULDS. FOUND WHO HABITAT OFF IN O' & ? BOUNDS. (IF I HAVE SEXED THEM RIGHT). SOME MARES WITH BREEDING PATCHES ON FOREARMS R CHEST. WOUNDED THE COLD, SWIFT STREAM WHICH FLOWS DOWN A STEEP SLOPE (UP TO 450') ON AUG. 9, BUT FOUND NO FROGS OR TRO'S. WATER IS NOTICEABLY COOLER IN THIS ONE - HANDS HURT AFTER BEING IN IT ONLY A MINUTE OR SO. LAST 2 YEARS DR BENSON & I TOOK EITHER 1 OR 3 FROGS OUT OF THIS STREAM AT POINT WHERE IT CROSSES ROAD ABOUT CAMP BUT I COULD FIND NONE THERE THIS YEAR. SAW NO OTHER AMPHIBIA'S IN STREAMS OR BESIDE THEM UNDER ROCKS IN MOSS, ETC. NO SIGN OF ASCAPHUS COBBS.
