Los Angeles County, Calif.
Little Rock Creek, San Gabriel Mtine
0.0 mi - Little Rock Dam
1.8 mi., elev. 9200' ±
The canyon floor is about 75 yards wide
here. Cottonwoods and Sycamores are
present at the edge of the canyon, but
not beside the stream, which has no
trees shading it. An adult Thamn-
ophis elegana hammondii (8T 21.8° C)
was caught at the edge of its stream
as were two Uta stansburiana.
No frogs were found here. The
stream is eight to fifteen feet wide
and averages about 6" deep.
3.6 mi., elev. 3500' ±
In a spot where the stream is rather
heavily shaded by alders and cottonwoods
a single Rana boylii mucrosa was
found on a rock in the stream. Also
collected here were three Hyla arenicolor,
two Scelotes occidentalis briestae
and two Thamnophis elegans
hammondii. One of the garter snakes
had a small (6") trout which it
apparently had deshed, although the
fish looked too big for the snake.
