Results Expt. #3:
Bulfo coronus and Bulbo borerz lodegildus
critical maximum 38-39° C.
This large adult B. borerz seemed to respond
slower to the critical temperatures than smaller
borers used in Expts. 1 & 2. Possibility of
size difference in regard to critical point?
This toad had been kept in aquarium
behind Yosemite Museum for nearly 2 months,
and apparently fed well since it still now
is in relatively good shape.
