  • Bufo boreas - Toad. June 26/42 [1942] - Many toads were seen at Mason's swamp 2 miles from camp Most were small, possibly last year's crop; 2 were larger (one collected). Tadpoles were present in large numbers but only at far end (west end?) and in very shallow water. June 27 - Toads of small size are common along the shores of Lac la Hache; occasionally one is seen in the water several yards from shore. Tadpoles about 3/4 inch long were seen in some numbers in the swamp on "Forbes point"; one mile S.E. [southeast] of Forbes farm house. June 29 - Very large numbers of tadpoles were seen in Cummings lake (about Mile 150). They were con- gregated about the south end where blue-green algae + other plants were decomposing. In one small area in the stinking mass numbers of tadpoles were dead and dying. Red-coloured Daphnia in immense swarms were present in this end of the lake. Tadpoles were exceedingly numerous in Jones lake (mile 148) in swarms + long strings. Hind legs well developed.
