Rana muscosa. August 14, 1960 - 0.6 mi SW Squaw Valley, Placer Co., Calif. - 6500 ft - #1- I got two Rana along the stream in spots similar to all the others that Tony got frogs in. The first one was found when it jumped into a pool about 4 feet square, amidst large, overhanging granite boulders, with a coarse granite-gravel bottom largely free of vegetation. The water was 8 or 10 inches deep, cool and flowing slowly. There were faster riffles at both ends of the pool. The bordering vegetation was about 4-8 feet from the creek, and was largely gooseberry and a small willow shrub (that is, the vegetation was of low bushes), mixed with a little Eviogium and golden rod on the north side. The frog was on the sunny north side of the pool when frightened. It jumped and swam across the pond to the deepest part, and sat on the bottom. There was a relatively safe opening in the granite rocks on the shady south side of the pool, which the animal was entering when captured. A second specimen (#2) was on a rock in the middle of a similar, but larger pool, partially out at the water, and clearly visible about 15 yards away. It also swam towards a relatively safe area in a tangle of dead sticks at the deep end of the pool, but often stopped on the bottom; our attempts to capture the animal included getting between the frog and the tangle of sticks as much as possible. #5 and 6. - At 6900 ft 2 frogs were taken in a pool about 3 feet square and 6-8 inches deep, although there were fair-sized (6x6x12 inches) granite rocks bordering the pool, the
