Rana muscosa July 16, 1960 - of the area. (Squaw Meadows) Snout-vent length about 2 1/2 inches. Dorsum yellowish-olive, with numerous black-tipped pustules, mottled with darker and lighter, the light color most conspicuous in the sacral region; laterally lighter, less markedly mottled with darker; head mottled above and laterally with darker, lips mottled brown. Fore limbs light, barred with dark. Hind limbs ground color, mottled light and dark and with black tipped pustules. Venter creamy, limbs yellow, anal region reddish, no ventral pattern. Another specimen was taken under a large log on the north side of the creek where a Thamnophis sirtalis was taken (which account see). It was in an inlet of the creek about 3 or four inches deep. The bottom was covered with granite rocks, mostly about half a foot in diameter, with gravel between them. The log was about 2 1/2 feet in diameter and about 8 feet long. It offered about the only shade in the area. There were many small (1 to 2 inches long) fish in the water here.
