E.L. Kardatum 1954 Bufo boreas (7) April 13 testis is larger, 7.2 mm. x 4.1 mm. I found no signs of food in the stomach which would be expected for animals retained alive for four days or those love [illegible] However, the colon contained some dark chitinous looking pieces. I preserved the colon. Under the dissecting scope the thorax and abdominal segments of some insect were clearly visible. The water at the bottom of other jars clearly contains broken pieces of insect material. These mole toads obviously have fed prior to their capture. It is difficult to predict for how many night (or how long) they have been out from underground sites. April 14 ELK # 158 shows no harmful effects of the anesthesia. I injected it again with lethal dose of m.s. 222 solution. Left testis 9.7 x 3 mm., RT. testis 12.8 x 3.2 mm. Both- ELK # 159 - Body length 81 mm. 0?0? shows the grayer brown ground color of 159. He undertone are darker gray-white with smaller but more numerous black blotches blotches than 159. The dorsal vertebral stripe is clearly distinct and carnick in color. It has a maximum width of 1.5 mm., LT 7.3 mm. x 3.1 mm. RT 11.0 x 3.0 mm. ELK 161. Body length 90.5 mm. This large 0?0? shows a olive drab green ground color (Pl. 21, E1, M & P) Gray Drob. The distinct vertebral stripe
