Elkodontum 1955 Bulfer Lorenz June 10 Long Meadow, 7500 ft., 3 mi. NXNE Giant Forest, Sequoia National Park, Tulare Co., Calif. Tohoplas found in seep? pool at east limit of meadow where Wolverton Creek flows out into meadow area open and cleared as by bulldozer preparing to development of this area for campground, etc. 5-6 separate shallow (max 4-5") puddles which probably were originally one larger pool. Longest puddle now 20'x 25'. Water temp. in 14.5° C (depth about) 1:05 P.M. 1" below water surface 32.5°. Tope spread out but most numerous at shallow edges. Wind fairly strong from SW so air temperature cooler today than yesterday. Drew noted this pool yesterday and remarked how it was shrinking. From his boat works at pool edge I estimate vertical decrease of 3/4" resulting in 2-3 feet "total drop". Today I counted 25 tods in the neck of one puddle clearly stranded, their books out of water. Two size groups <12 mm. and 20-25 mm. ocyphori. Larger are at same stage as those yellow brown crawls meadow north of here at green 7645 ft. Bottom of this pool mixed sand + mud, no algal growth visible. Tope sucking detritus from bottom and from surface film. Water a brown-stained color. -1:50 P.M. Survey of meadow. Variety of breeding sites available and toads not highly selective. One slow-moving 2' deep 2" wide hole tods (temp. water 22.5° C.). Else may have worked into meadlet from seepage pools adjacent this meadow is half boggy, half dry sandy ground. togs, midet linnues, myriad forest all available for noticed. We turned all available letter but no toads.
