Sept 6 Red Mt., 5300 ft, 14 mi N Hayfork, Trinity Co, Calif.
flow increased, though was not vigorous
until farther down. Found several Dicamptodon
larvae in pools with quiet water, and farther
down, with a flow. Picked up 2 Hyla regilla
along the stream. Saw 2 Rana boylii and
collected 1. Both were in strong flow of
water. There was never much vegetation
along the creek and the banks were dry.
Called Dubahella Creek. Both slopes were
covered with rather thin timber, growing
denser down the slope. The Douglas fir
became more and more frequent until
it was dominant around 4000 feet and
below. Still had Ponderosa pine and white
fir, with cedar irregular. Climbed back
up the ridge to just west of Red Mt. Below
the ridge found scarcely any bushy areas
on this side. There are a number of very
large outcroppings of rocks.
Got back too late to reset traps, but the line
is out with most baited.
Sept 7 Same location
Caught 1♂ Microtus californicus?, 1♂ Eutamias
amosenus, 1 Gerrhonotus coeruleus. The
Microtus was again in a mass of Ceanothus
cordulatus
Drove down the ridge to Red Mountain
