R. Zweifel Maya and Sonoma Counties, California running about south-west. Here there are a few black oaks, diggs pines and manzanitas, with a single scraggly douglas fir a couple of hundred yards up the ridge, but the aspect of the place is predominantly grassy. The logs first investigated were digger pine, from a log about 2 1/2 ft in maximum diameter. A. flavipunctatus was abundantly found under the bark and within and beneath the logs. About half the larvae were collected here; the rest found beneath rock on the adjacent hillsides. Similarly, the less common A. lugubris was found both in the logs and under rocks. Both species of Anidea were found beneath one rock. The snakes were found in the logs. Skinks were both in logs and under rocks (see again accounts). The land around here had evidently been cleared, judging both from the stumps about its hillside, and from a thick growth of douglas fir and oak surrounding a homestead about 1/4 mile down the ridge. From here we drove to the vicinity of Staggs Springs, Sonoma County. At 2.9 mi. w Staggs Springs we collected 8 Anidea flavipunctatus, 1 Eumeces and 2 Diadophis. 2.9 mi. W Staggs Springs we collected 4 larvae, 1 A. lugubris, 1 Triturus.
