General Notes. Jan. 1 Sea Cliff State Park, nr. Soquel, Santa Cruz Co., Calif. littered with boards, planks, shingles, etc. This creek head is wooded with Redwoods, Maples, lauels, Alders, etc. Redwoods predominating. We collected here for two hours taking all we saw. Beneath one shingle pile we found a large population of queen scorpions. Some of these were collected. In this same pit a number of areides flavipunctatus were also found. From this point we headed towards Davenport, lunching at Bonnie Doons. The road is good, surfaced, About Bonnie Doons are natural stands of Monterey Pine and Douglas fir. Headed South from Davenport to Laguna creek. Here we obtained permission from Mr. Majors to collect in the canyon above his dairy farm. He extended an invitation to collect here again. The Canyon is an ideal collecting site having extremely diversified floral associations. Richardson says he has never seen such a variety of birds or so many ferns in one spot for a long time. The creek is permanent and higher up has precipitate, line rock walls, and numerous pools and cascades. Ferns are very thick here and Stinking Yew is common. Salamander hunting was poor but I feel convinced more stems in this difficult canyon for working in would bring out more amphibius.
