Captain Robinson writes regarding specimen No. 22539: 
Common. Taken in acequia near the town. This frog makes a noise like the 
sound of water gurgling from a bottle, only it is a single note and louder. They 
make in the weeds in the water's edge a "bird's nest" of bubbles, or rather more 
like the whipped-up white of eggs and even more glutinous. The depression in the 
center goes entirely through, and the frog sits in the water below, with its nose and 
eyes appearing in the bottom of the nest.

Captain Robinson's remarks about No. 2254.5 are as follows: 
Taken swimming in the acequia. I was attracted to it l)y its loud, monotonous 
note like the bleating of a goat, and fully as loud. It was heard a long distance. 
On each side of its head it has a sac which can be largely inflated, and wliich were 
so inflated when the animal was caught.
