E.D. Anderson 1959 Journal Mar. 1 Valencia Sagoon, Rio del Mar vicinity, Santa Cruz Co., Calif. Left Berkeley at 7:15 am. Drove via Rt 17 to San Yzaba - Santa Cruz - then on Rt 1 to Rio del Mar. Arrived 9:10 am. Worked edges of pond with dip net to check for larvae. Got about 20 very tiny crocean larvae. Very few Tadpoles taken as yet. Anacita blooming - Ostracoda particularly abundant. Eleochanis has not come up very much. Recent rainfall may be responsible. Eleochanis usually comes in least as water level drops. Hyla regilla eggs massed is abundant - early stage to hatching.
