E.L. Kardatum 1954 Bufo canorus (42) July 16 Yosemite museum, Yosemite Valley, Calif. While feeding the reptiles this morning I noted a case of apparent natural protection afforded the Yosemite toad [?] by its poison glands (?). I placed an adult [?][?] in cage with about 6 garter snakes, both T. elegans couchi and T. elegans elegana. Three became interested in the toad as soon as it hopped along the floor of the cage. Two moved forward as if to strike but wereed away after their flickering tongues came within [1/2]" or so from the food. This happened 4-5 times involving different snakes. I then placed an adult Ryla in the cage and within a minute it had been taken by one of the mountain garter snakes. Two days ago a 20" mountain garter snake took an adult Para boylei without hesitation. July 21 Photographed young adult and subadult toads trying out new portrait attachment on my Argus. Background moss from Sentinel meadows. See separate sheet for exposure records. July 23 While cleaning water in golden jugs holding a series of Tioga boss toads, I noted a pair in orgelexus. Body length of [?][?] 32 mm. Definite greenish-yellow male coloration. Body length of ?? 50.2 mm. Pair removed to separate dish away from other 3 subadult toads in with them. Pair segreated during process.
