L. Karlstom 1954 Bufo boreas (43) Yosemite Valley, 4050 ft. June 23 about June 25. A total of 3 subadult toads have been taken at confluence circle Ceng 19, all in late evening hours. These appear to have developed from some batch since size similar in each. July 2 Court. Center slope and Couge area. One adult o>o collected along wall outside car porta at 10:00 P.M. (D.S.) or I returned government car after work. Evening clear and mild. July 3 noted 3 toads tadpole and one Hyla scavenging on a single dead Hyla toad 11:00 A.M. Previous to this I have only noted carnivorous feeding by tree-frog toads. Algal supply placed in aquarium 3 days ago has been eaten, so that scavenging may be forced secondarily on the toads. The toad toad one average body length 11.5 mm., total length 22 mm. Feeding toads were near surface on top of a rock, water 1/2" deep. The dead toad may have been dragged up from the bottom to its position on the rock. July
