After a rain on the night of November 17 a calUng male was 

 found with a female and a batch of 11 eggs. The eggs were be- 

 tween a leaf and the side of a rock and were stuck to both. The 

 female was still gravid, and the eggs were well developed, and- 

 probably laid after the last rain (night of Nov. 13 or 14). This 

 looks like a case of male station and second mating. 



Phyllobates trtincatus Cope. 



What 1 provisionally identify as this species is a tiny frog which 

 I have seen three times on the south side of the Island. 



Phyllobates talamancae (Cope). 

 I have seen one from Gatun in the Michigan collection. 



Phyllobates kingsburyi Boulenger. 

 I have seen two from the Rio Calobre. 



Phyllobates latinasus Cope. 

 I have seen two from the Cerro Azul. 



Phyllobates flotator Dunn. 



A very common frog from the stream banks of the Island. It 

 is diurnal and calls in the daytime. The call is a faint 'peep 

 peep.' Two were taken in amplexus 8 feet up on the bank of 

 the stream at Shannon 4, about 3 p. m. on November 14. The 

 male was calling, after a morning rain. I noticed the umbrella 

 mouth tadpoles feeding on the surface film on November 15. 

 Tadpoles were found in a puddle in a hollow rock off the Wheeler 

 trail November 30 well away from any permanent stream. A 

 male was taken carrying tadpoles on December 14, and another 

 carrying three tadpoles on July 31, at Pearson 15, 440 yards 

 away from water. They were calling July 23. I saw one out at 

 night on February 9. 



Dendrobates auratus (Girard). 



Not common, found in the higher parts of the Island. I have 

 three records. 



Atelopus varius cniciger (Lichtenstein and Martens). 

 I have seen this from Val de Anton.
