WM Hamilton III caught at Barrowmascos in a bunch of Douglas fir boughs which had been stuck up in wet caved bottom back of our house for 2 or 3 days. (Fire used for feeding his Phrenosaurus longicaudus). I also in damp caved bank and got 2 more small ones + 14th at another small or medium sized one. Saw a small one a day or so ago under a large can set on grass in our yard but lost it again in grass. Have been looking under surface objects but have seen no other Batrhoeoscos to order so apparently they have dug in a little. Our creek seems the only wet spot for a quarter of a mile or more around & it is now beginning to dry except for rocks.
