Hendrickson 1950 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. temp. 8:40 P.M. temp. of frog = 23.5°C, air temp. at 6" = 25.0°C, water temp. = 25.1°C, 9:00 P.M. temp. of frog = 23.6°C, air temp. at 6" = 23.0°C.
