Murray 1949 Dicamptodon ensatus Aug 24 2 mi N French Camp, 1500 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. Went down the drainage directly over the ridge from French camp. [illegible] ran from a few hundred yards below the ridge as a trickle until several hundred more; by then it was a substantial flow, running about north and down a very steep slope. there were very tall Douglas firs, with a scattering of small redwoods and some cypress cedars. the water poured over rocks of every size, up to fair sized boulders. there were many fallen logs over the stream. Maples, tan oak and conifers lined the banks. the rocks were mossy, and there were many sword ferns and some grass along the water. Sarvae were not numerous, but I saw probably 8 or 9. One in a large pool was quite large. Collected 5 or 6 smaller ones but found that an adult in the bag had eaten all but 1, apparently. All were seen in pools in the stream where the turbulent flow was not turbulent, though steadily passing through. they were resting on the bottom, and moved rapidly when disturbed. Some might have been under rocks, but a layer of sediment on the bottom obscured the view when disturbed. Had no thermometer. water depth in most cases was 3 or 4 inches
