Rana palmipes
Nov. 19 Villavicencio, 1600 ft., Meta, Colombia, S. A.
One taken at edge of creek just
S of town. It was sitting beside
on wet mud about 3" from the
water, at the foot of a 3'-4' grass-
covered, steep bank. I saw several
others; they gave a fairly strong,
whitish eyeshine which was visible
in the light of the headlamp before
the body of the frog could be
made out.
Nov. 22 About 12 seen, about 6 taken. All
were in open, on stream banks or
bars (mud, rice hull drifts, stream
debris, or rocks-and-mud). Very
active, and powerful jumpers, some
successfully evaded the hand or
net at the last instant.
