"Kyla microcephala"
Nov. 9 Villavieja, 1400 ft., Kaila, Colombia, S.A.
Found numerous individuals in an
area of pools on low ground
W of the cemetery. See map in
today's journal for details of
locality. See Dr. Stibbins notes
for results of our study of
voice, etc. The frogs collected
were all perched on blades or
stones of tall grass (to 15" above
water level) growing in pools of
water, or on other plants growing
out of the water. None were found
on similar plants at the pond edge
which were not submerged at their
basal portions. One I saw with
vocal pouch extended (partially so?)
gave me the impression of suffused
dark pigment on the pouch.
The general color of the living frog
was a pinkish tan, fairly rich
in hue (this by light of my
headlamp).
