Bufo "granulosus"
Oct. 21 5 km. N. Villarraga, 1450 ft., Huila, Colombia, S.A.
associated with calls heard at close
range were sitting on bare mud, one
near and one under (an overhanging mass)
stream-washed detritus.
Nov. 6 Dr. Stibbins and I, working at
night in banana patch S. of camp,
collected several and heard others
from various points in the field.
So far as I could tell, there were
as many near the water as on
"drier" ground away from the
water. They responded somewhat
to imitations of their calls. At
one time a passing train seemed
to stimulate calling (vibration?)
Later in the evening (10:30 P.M.) the
frequency of their calling had
definitely increased over the
frequency at 7:30 & 8:00 P.M.
