June [illegible] Russian Slued State Park, Mendocino Co, Calif.
of decaying vegetation. My & mouse traps were still
under log in same redwood forest. Mrs
Brenmill collected these bringing home 1
Sorel vagrinos.
We started getting our equipment in order
to take home. Then Josephine, Jean & I decided
to hike east of camp to the circle in the
wood, follow a path north to a falls,
cross over the pine barrens to the edge
of the park & south walk thru the
redwood forest back to camp. On the
path above the falls (U.S. 275-304) found a marbled
salamander (Diamptodon) - it was slightly
injured but not dead - about 10 steps further on
the path a large garter snake was scourging
off into the shrubbery. We thought that
perhaps it had tried to eat the salamander,
& we had frightened it. Along the trail we
gathered 5 fungeus, golden backed & lady ferns.
At 4:30 PM we met E. Bartholomew & V. Dimmer on
the pine barrens.
We tabulated the number and kinds of
specimens we had collected on the trip.
