R. Zweifel July 5, 1951 265 Triturus torosus Boulder Creek 8 mi NW (airline) from Descanso, San Diego Co., Calif. Four salamanders were collected and about six more seen in pools in the stream and in the stream itself. In many places there is no surface water, only disconnected pools. The pool containing the largest number of salamanders (about six seen, two captured) was 10' long, 8' wide and 1½ ' deep. Temperature 24.1° C. The stream bed is made up of stones averaging 6-8' in diameter, although much larger rocks are common. Cottonwood, willow, sycamore and poison oak are common in the stream bottom, chamise and live oak on opposite hillsides. Two of the four salamanders died of the heat while being transported home. These four salamanders show little or none of the wartiness of "Klamberi". July 9, 1951 Same spot revisited. Seven salamanders collected. Water level even lower than before. Salamanders certainly aren't very warty.
