18 July Arizona, Santa Cruz Co., Sycamore Canyon
Rock ledges appeared good for Coleonyx,
Et Robber frogs, rattlesnakes, etc. but
considerable search revealed only one
mashed S. clarkii. In ponds ½ mi.
SW Spring found tarahumarae.
Also in canyon took Thamnophis g.
Cremido phorus g., Sceloporus c. and
Rana p. About 1300 hours returned
to camp and spent entire afternoon
and evening writing notes, except
for short trip to H. aranicolor
spot below camp to see if they
had returned to proper niche in
rocks as marked on previous day.
They had not! Pool level 12 inches
higher. Had rain been cause of
disappearance of animals? None
at all present. While there I saw
one more E. colliscephalus close to
spot D. regalis taken previously.
19 July Peña Blanca Springs to Mogales, Santa Cruz Co., Ariz.
Broke camp in morning stopping
only to check two spots. In seepage
area close to camp ground found
considerable numbers of Microhyla
eggs (presumably not described for
this race yet) in cattle hoof prints.
