limited to the meadow margins at
Jonserville.
We collected nothing at Jonserville. At
Butte Meadows the following were taken:
1 Thamnophis elegans
, 1 Nerthistius
cerulens, 1 Triturus troosa creina,
1 Ensatina eschscholtzii platensis and 1 Hyla
regilla. Scelozoma graciosa was abundant.
Tonight's camp is near Seneca, on the
North Fork of the Feather River, Plumas Co.

This morning we worked along the stream
fs about ten home but could find no
frogs. The stream was quite high, and
thus seemed to be not good tributaries.
Rana boylii may not occur in those large
streams where there are no small tributaries
of appropriate gradient, but it will be
necessary to check again when the waters
is low.
Triturus t. creina, Sceloporus graciosa,
S. occidentalis and Thamnophis elegans
were collected here.
Plants: Big-leaf maple, douglas fir,
black oak, dogwood (both creek & pacific),
choke cherry, thimble berry, alder,
incense cedar, black cottonwood.
yellow pine present as hillside, but not
in canyon bottom.
