Hyla regella
Aug. 14, 1960 - 0.7 mi SW Squaw Valley
Placer Co., Calif - 6900 ft - #17-22
Several advanced tuds and small
recently transformed formed Hyla were
taken in a pool with a Rana and other
tads (which description see). The Hyla

They were all farther developed than the

was very calm at the site, about 5 or 6 yards wide

spots on the whitish border between this & the dorsal color.
Underside dirty white, unpattered. Eye dark brown, a
