E.L. Karlstrom 1954 Journal (3) April 8 old man should have hung metal food locker up in tree instead of just fastening the hose. The night was clear and cold (35-40° F.). Kris woke me 6:15 A.M. Temperature at 7:15 was 6° C., and the sky overcast until close to 8 o'clock. I met Hubbard and other resident naturalists at the museum in morning and was shown through the working area of the museum. At 10:45 a.m. it was clear and mild in the low 60's. We drove to El Capitan meadow and checked large pond near the road. Hyloa adults were calling and egg clusters, some small toads taken from pond. A bobcat was sighted near the pond when we first arrived. After lunch at the Yosemite Lodge cafeteria we went to Stroman meadow. A large patch of snow adjacent to the meadow gave an indication that it is colder here. The northwest exposure with sheer cliffs of Oliver Point may account for the later snow melt here. Otherwise, the meadow in some condition as that at El Capitan. The dead dry brown grass lies fallen, and little green grass is now evident. Air temperature 21° C. at 1:50 P.M. Strong NE wind. More Hyloa calling here. Eggs and small toads again stolen. At 3:30 we checked area SW of Old Village. The
