Hyla regilla (4)

Mariposa Co., Calif. 2:15 P.M. (D.S.)
stream bed (new dry) I found one Hyla adult ??
just under the edge of a granite boulder. This
animal would appear to be at least a few hundred
yards from any standing water and 100 feet above
the valley floor with the wood between it and
the Merced River. The snow at the line of the
cliff is another 50 feet above the site where
animal taken.
Stebbins also found an adult ♀ in center of
branchless rotten log 2 ft. in diameter. Rotten
wood 10°C at 2:50 P.M. (D.S.T.) Log 12 ft.
long along slope—slope 8° to N. Frog had not
emerged from hibernation? Skin but active when
handled. Molea heard calling from rocks further
up talus slope. Incense cedar, white fir. Canopy
80%. Site where Hydrimantes gotten down slope

April 30 Stream meow, 4000 ft., Yosemite Valley, Mariposa Co.,
Calif. Hyla chorusing in the evening 9:00 P.M. (D.S.T.)
and one pair taken while copulating. Sample of toads
from pool A taken. (See B. lower account for temp.
data). Recent rains have provided new pools and
this may accelerate Hyla breeding activity.
May 27 Kaiser Peaks meadow, 8000 ft., Fresno Co., Calif.
No toads but eggs. One cluster to tail bud stage.
No eggs seen at higher 9200 ft. Meadow near Kaiser Pass.
