Elkaddston 1956 Bufo punctatus April 24 mouth of Tahquitz Canyon, 1 mile SW of Palm Spring, Riverside Co., Calif. 9:25 P.M. We started to make camp for the night and first heard the long sustained trill of this toad from about 250 yards away. Locality on some creek about 100 yards further downstream than where I collected Hyla arenicolor last evening. Calls ceased as I approached a wide shallow place in creek. No more than one or two males had been trilling. First eye-shine I got with large net on adult on a small exposed granite boulder. Air temp. 21.2°c. at 9:35 P.M. Water 1" beneath surface 20.0°c. Brilliant full moon. Another toad seen 6 feet from first, also on a small boulder. Stream 45 feet across, boulder-stream and no deeper than 8-10" at any one place. Second toad wouldn't respond to my efforts to call him, so I collected the ovovip. These were only toads I saw along a hundred yards of stream. Hyla arenicolor called from above and below the toads, but tree-frogs were not in immediate vicinity. Rather open situation where toads found with relatively gentle sloping banks and less stream edge vegetation than places I observed Hyla
