Murray 1949 Journal 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
