1952 D. P. PEARSON 5 Nov. 12 Orinda. First rain of season fell about 10:30 a.m., then scattered heavy showers rest of day. Season is late this year. Since this was first rain, and a good one, it provides an unusually clear cut beginning to the rainy season. When I went home at 6:30 p.m. over Fred Bench Rd picked up 19 Ensatina (4021) and after supper 4 ?? along Miner Rds. Nov. 13 Orinda. Heavy rain again off and on during the day. Drove about 1/2 miles of Miner Rd. after supper and picked up 4 anides, 2 Ensatina, and 5 Triturus (at least 2 of them trozona)
