95 34 General Account ly 6 Porterville Tulare Co., California This morning was spent collecting along the Tule River Bottom from Bourbon property to the Worth bridge. The river at the present time is not flowing but rather it consists of a number of puddles in the lower places. About each of these puddles are large quantities of frogs. They are in such large quantities that it seems as though there would not be food enough to maintain them. I estimated the quantity seen during the mile ride along the river as 5000+. These Frogs I believe were the young of the Bull Frog for I found a graduating size pupa to the larger Bull Frog. Two Great Blue Herons and
