D.BUSACK 1982 5. 24 MAR 1982 On our way back to the car, we found a Bufo bufo (888, ♀, 315 g, 142 SVL, 1600 hrs) swimming in the pond from which we had tried earlier to capture 2 juveniles. MAUREMYs LEPROSA. Looked like it might rain. 25 MAR 1982 SPAIN: CÁDIZ PROVINCE; ON THE ROAD E. FROM FACINAS, C-440 NW TOWARD ALCALA DE LOS GAZULES, AND THE ROAD TO BENALUP DE SIDONIA. It rained most of today but not really hard. The winds off the ocean were very strong and we wonder about what tides the water will bring. It is very cold for us -- we've bundled up around camp. This evening we drove the road from Facinas to C-440. Collected were several Bufo bufo (893-902) whose data follow: FACINAS, 12.9 km E. 9.4° T_b, 11° T_A, 240 m, 2040 hrs, _____, 15.0 km E, 9.8° T_b, 13.5° T_A, 200 m, 2050 hrs _____, 18.3 km E, ♀ 10.5° T_b, 13.5° T_A, 200 m, 2100; ♂ 10° T_b, 13.5° T_A, 200 m, 260 hrs.
