A.C. BICE 1957 Micrurus longicaudus? Eld Valley Grass Sna, Twn, Rye Sec 23, Del Norte Co, Calif. x300ft. Aug. 23-25 On 23rd Dr. Benson lifted a large piece of sheet iron at 3:00 PM and found a young one beneath it. I wrote a piece of bowy and found 2"v. nose it about 9:00 PM. In the spots in meadow where grass grew fairly thick some runways or sorts could be seen but mostly runs were not noticeable. Some open runs a couple of inches wide maybe 1/2in deep were seen in three spots in meadow and Dr B, that these might be runs of this species. On 23rd I got 1 (with skull broken) in mus grass under oerhangng bushes beside creek between 6:00 + 8:00 PM. On 25th got 1/2way out of gap in runny running three willow trees in meadow and also 1 on moist brushy ground beside stream. Last spot was usually by woods so these are not apparently restricted to the grass in meadows. Aug. 27-30 Price Flat 5000ft, 12mi NW Happy Camp Lakeville, Calif.
