season specimens were collected wherever there was sufficient<br />
water. During the breeding season males were heard calling from<br />
flooded fields, roadside ponds, rocky streams in arroyos, <strong>and</strong> temporary<br />
rain ponds. Males usually call from deep grass around the<br />
pond, sometimes concealed beneath debris. Foam nests were found<br />
in mid-July near San Ignacio. <strong>The</strong> nests were concealed in deep<br />
grass in a field flooded by one to two inches <strong>of</strong> water.<br />
Distribution in <strong>Sinaloa</strong>. — Leptodactylus occidentals occurs<br />
throughout <strong>Sinaloa</strong> below about 700 meters. See Fig. 16.<br />
