"Phyllobates subpunctatus" Hendrickson 1950 Nov. 14 Bogota, 8700 ft., Cundinamarca, Colombia, S.A. In lieu of species account for first encounter with species, see journal for Oct. 15. As before we had an overcast afternoon with occasional showers. We found the frogs calling from many points on the hillside as before (perhaps a slightly weaker chorus?). We encountered specimens with little difficulty and visiting the pool where we had previously found individuals carrying many tadpoles, we found them plentiful again. One small (newly metamorphosed) frog [without tail] was also taken in the water of the pool. See Dr. Stebbins' notes for re-description of call, sketch of pool, and color notes on animals. Dec. 5 Dr. Stebbins and I collected again at the pool mentioned above. At 7:05 A.M. the water temp. was 12.0° C.; the air temp (no sun) at 6" was 11.3° C. A chorus of the frogs was going on, and we collected tadpole-carriers and a series of larger tadpoles.
