Murray 1949 Ensatina eschscholtzii Aug 9 Big Sagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif. In a large (3 ft. diam.) rotted spruce log found 3. Soil covered with thick mossy growth and a layer of decayed leaves and soil. Specimens were in cracks in the wood covered completely by this surface layer. Two had egg masses and were curled up against but not around them. The wood was rotted until soft and only a trifle damp. The area was well shaded by large spruce and alders, with a dense undergrowth of salmonberry, thimbleberry and blackberry. There was a grassy patch around the log quite green. Also found 2 Batrachoseps in the log. Aug 25 1 mi S Coyote Peak, 3200 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. With Gullion and Cogswell tore apart rotted Douglas fir logs on SE facing slope near the ridge. Timber tall, dense and giving much shade. Area moister than most in the vicinity. One fir log about 45 ft. long and 2 1/2 feet thick yielded 10 specimens among us, all taken by peeling off the 1" bark and finding them beneath it. The bark was moss covered, and the surface beneath it was moist. There was some loose decayed wood in spots which crumbled away readily. There were also 3 Cnidos fenerus in the same log.
