Rana pipiens
Dec 28 31.1 m N. (by Mex 15) Ixtlan del Rio,
Nayarit, Mexico --(tadpoles and eggmass)
In a stream about 3 feet across and
6 inches deep flowing rapidly through an oak
and grassy canyon Elvey found one eggmass,
and I found another. The one I found was
under the shelter of a large flat rock, kidney-
shaped, about 243x1/2 feet in size, in about 6 inches
of water. The eggmass was in a clump at
calage in the crook of the "kidney," exposed
to the sun. Many tadpoles swam around the
eggmass, though none were hatching s. Teddy
some some Electrodactylids here, and Gene
got a Hyla axina.
