Murray 1949 Triturus murrellis Aug 26 3 mi N Willow Creek, 700 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. Within 3 feet of Coon Creek, a substantial stream, turned a Douglas fir log and found 4. Could not be sure whether they were underneath or in a crack, as it split in the process. It was well rotted, and quite moist beneath, dry on top. Sandy dry soil with a little green grass. They were very slow moving. In the evening Dr. Pearson found one active on the bank of the stream as it became almost dark. Aug 27 Same location Found 2 under the bank of a Douglas fir log. Moderately moist but the wood beneath was firm and hardly rotted... Log was clear of the ground for most of its length. Temp. Under bank 18.4. Log next to Coon Creek, well shaded by tall maples. No fir trees now remaining in the area. Aug 29 4½ mi N, 1½ mi E Willow Creek, 800 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. Found one sitting on a rock at 8 AM. This was at the edge of a slight flow over many rocks which branched away from the main body of Horse Sinto Creek. It was cloudy but fairly warm at the time. The animal did not move rapidly but was more active than the others I have seen here.
