"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.
