Hyla regella
Aug 16, 1960 Squaw Meadows, Squaw Valley, Placer Co., 6200ft, Calif
(cont.) - bronzy border around pup.?. When captured
this specimen (#26) was darker green with
a pattern of brown spots above.
Aug. 17, 1960 Mombo Meadows, 1.6 mi SW Squaw Valley,
7440 ft., Placer Co., Calif. - Tony pulled over
a rotten log about 4 feet long and half a foot
in diameter to expose a Hyla. I found a second
specimen near by. The logs are in the center
of "Mombo Meadows", 7440 ft, near the trail
to the Five Lakes from the Squaw Peak Ski
lift. The vegetation around the logs consists
primarily of a dense, thick, green grass.
Across the trail the grass is drier and more
clumpy. Daisies are the only other plant much
in evidence (a purplish-white species about
1 1/2 inches in diameter that grows in all moist
places around here). There was a wet seepage
passing about two feet from the logs, and the
soil around them was quite damp. The frogs
were between the damp under side of the log
and about a half inch of wet wood that remained
on the ground. The one I got was greenish-tan
dorsally, dirty white laterally, white below, with
a pattern on the dorsum. We have a photo-
of the meadows.
