P. Zweifel Rana longi longi 280 Robinson Ck, 5.5 mi SSW Ukiah, Mendocino Co., Calif. SV 39 mm Jim Pionka When removed from the cold room (19°C) the frog was in very light phase. No markings were evident on the back and the ventrolateral light bar was barely visible. The throat and venter were immaculate white. The typical yellow coloration was present in the groin. After being for some time in a bottle on the 14th desk top, the far frog darkened considerably. Diffuse spots 3 mm in diameter became evident on the back, and did the dark markings of the throat and foreleg insertion area. Dark bars are very evident on the tibia and femur.
