Murray 1149 29 Journal Aug 23 French Camp, 3100ft, Humboldt Co., Calif. was there dense, short growth of salal. Tan oaks were scattered along the banks. throughout there were many fallen logs and branches, and much rock, though mostly solid red rock. Put all traps along this stream. Saw 2 wood pewees diving on and attacking a Steller Jay, continuously giving their song. Finally succeeded in chasing it away Aug 24 Same location Caught a total of 6 Pewompeus in traps, 4 in the new ones. Threw them away and continued down the stream. Found it was joined by another branch and became a strong flow. There were many rocks, some large, over which the water flowed. The Douglas firs were very tall and fairly thick. there were a few small redwoods and incense cedars. Tan oaks, maple, Cornus nuttallii, Goughs were along the banks; shading. Sword ferns and green grass were along the water edge. Many fir logs had fallen across the stream. the slope was exceedingly steep, with sides of the canyon moderately so. Found several Dicamptodon larvae in pools. Found an adult under a slab of bark next to the stream (sp. act.) Saw 1 Eucaphus truei tadpole for sure,
