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.
