ELKadethum 1935 Bufo boreas June 9 Connel meadow, 7645 ft., Seina Nall. Forest – canavus toads as R. muscosa food. Under logs where first two toads collected we took 3 young Thamnophis elegans . Another we sawe size and a larger adult got away. No Hyla seen but a few mole were calling from distance. The scarcity of Hyla toads is unusual since varied breeding sites available. Pond (D) (see map.) had a number of Hyla but 1/6 as numerous as Bufo toad. We covered almost the entire meadow area tonight concentrating on the vergins. No toads seen any under pins in dry stuff where I expected them. No toad eige heard. Breeding here appears thin. Toxopids are at same stage of growth in Yosemite Valley even though we are now 3600 feet higher. Selection for early breeding in montane areas vs well as canvus? Seems so. June 10 Drew and I hiked up the trail about 2 ½ miles to Summit meadow, 8000+ ft. Rana abundant, a few Hyla subadults taken, and Batrachyges under pine logs (see Bat. species account) Small pellets of snow are under trees but meadow clear and lush. Fair gradient here although shallow seep water available to toads. Bufo probably has not guided me into this particular meadow.
