Hyla regilla
April 12 1/2 mi. S of Court. Center, 4000 ft., Yosemite Valley
Calif. Adult female collected 4:30 P.M. in
wet grasses about 2 feet from a shallow
pool. Direct temp. 13.8° C., substrate the
same. Air temp. (bulb shielded) 2" above
wet substrate was 14.2° C. She spawned out
but no sign of eggs in the pool 10 x 1/5

the size it was last year at this time. It
now measures 40 x 60 feet, is 2 feet deep
in middle and heavily choked with dead and
dying vegetation. Hyla heard calling or I
ignored. Numerous egg clusters. Most tadpoles
were just hatching out but I didn't see many
free-swimming toads.

inches depth both sites. Air temp. 1" above
