Rana muscosa Aug 16,1950 Squaw Meadows, Squaw Valley, 6200 ft, Placer Co., Calif (#23). - A medium sized Rana was taken in Squaw Creek in Squaw Meadows. The stream was flowing rapidly along the site, although in general the creek is slow, consisting of wide ponds of relatively slow water. Squaw meadows is the flat, wide bottomland of Squaw Valley. It is privately owned, and used for horse, cattle, and sheep grazing (and is, if anything, under- grazed). At the present time it is principally covered with grass, mixed with dandelions and viburnium. Along the creek there are numerous thickets of willow. At the collecting site the stream is bordered by bare, rocky (granite) gravel, which is quite channeled (water apparently flows higher in the spring). There are a few pieces of lumber on it, but the shore is in general quite exposed. The stream descends about 3 feet from a large, deep area to the west to a similar but smaller area on the east, over a distance of about 10 yards. There is a considerable amount of willow litter on this site, and the pond at the west side is formed by a loose ? beaver dam of sticks, twigs, and stones of various sizes. The stream bottom is rocky or gravelly, and is free of vegetation. The stream is two to four feet wide, four to six inches deep, cool, clear and moves swiftly. The frog was first seen when frightened from under a plank 12 X 4 X 96 inches in size that lay over the north edge of the creek. Later it was frightened from the gravel at the east end
