April 8, 1935
6.3 mi SSE Clayton, Contra Costa Co., Calif.
Two Rana boylii, one R. aurora and four
Hyla regilla were collected here. Aurora
was common where the riparian growth
was thickest, where it actually overhung
the bank of the stream. Three large cluster of
R. aurora eggs were found attached to
cut-tail stems in about eight inches of
water at the edge of the stream. The eggs were
on the verge of hatching, since when the masses
were disturbed, the young tadpoles broke
loose & swam out.
7.1 mi. SSE Clayton, Contra Costa Co., Calif.
7 Rana boylii were seen here, one taken (see
species account). 3 Rana aurora were seen,
two of these in pools under large over-
hanging rocks. There is a distinct
paucity of riparian vegetation here.
Three Hyla regilla were found sitting
on rocks on the stream.
