Kardrickson 1958 Journal Sept. 12 White Tanks, 3750 ft., Riverside Co., Calif. most of which appeared semi-permanent. Collected Tadpoles here. No signs of Kyle, although it appeared to be a possible habitat for them. Drove on to Cottonwood Springs, via Pinto Basin. Entering Pinto Basin from the N.W. (from 29 Palms), we passed thru a lg. patch (belt?) of Opuntia Bigelovii; the road passed through this type of vegetation for about 0.7 mile. This followed by Ocotillo, through which the road passes for about 1.2 mi. Cycladrea and Croosote Bush are also dominant further toward in the Ocotillo zone. At the bottom of the basin, Smoke Trees are strung out along this a wash running approximately N.E.-S.W. (?). The speedometer distance from the upper edge of the Opuntia Bigelovii to the wash is 3.2 miles. The distance from the wash to the turnoff to Cottonwood Springs is about 22.3 miles. We made camp at Cottonwood Springs, 3040 ft., Riverside Co., Calif. At about 4:30-5:00 P.M. 4 Gray Frogs came out to a feeding tray about 20 ft. from our picnic table (see species account).
