Similarly, yesterday Ranatana -
humarae were found only in rocky
pools which receives the full flow
of the streams but yet were deep
enough that there was no rapid
water movement in them.
The pool from which today's R. tana
humarae were collected contained a
large number of Gila ditensis, some
up to 6" long. A single haul with
the 10' seine netted a quart jar full
of fish. These are very colorful fish,
with striking red areas at the bases
of the pectoral and pelvic fins. This
color was not present in the Gila
which we collected yesterday in
Alamo canyon.
The size of the pool is about 15'
x 10' x 3' deep.
Tonight we visited a cattle tank
which is 9 miles up the Ruby Road
from Peña Blanca Camp. Only Ranatana
spiciens could be found.
Ken found a small Cuneacea
calliephalus under a stone in
Santa Symonne Canyon. This is probably
as far west as they have been taken.
