On an area of hillside (about 35° W. slope)
composed of much-broken (1½"-3" x 3"-6") rocks,
intermixed with soil, roots and humus, and
supporting many composite bushes, we hunted
intensively for the frogs. Over 30 frogs
were taken here, as well as 3 specimens
of [illegible]. 6 egg masses were
found, 3 of them attended by adult
Phyllobates (?). The temperature was
about 14° C. The egg masses were found
in cavities under the surface rocks, resting
on soil which seemed somewhat drier
than more exposed soil. The soil on which
the eggs rested formed a good cast which
did not break on tapping in at least
one instance. A light rain was
falling at the time the area was
worked. Over a
