3. Richardson 134 2 Garter Snake. 28 Upper Fenton Meadow Kern Canyon Tulare Co., California c. 860 ft. This particular individual that I captured and preserved was caught on the tall slope 180 ft away from the meadow or any other moisture. It was a sluggish insectivorous creature making no rapid attempts to escape my approach. Its eyes seemed an opaque blue and I am wondering if this is natural. 24 Emerald Lake 9340 ft. Tulare Co., California. This specimen was taken by Mr. Dixon from a willow scat at the south west side of the lake. Another individual was seen within 100 yds of this locality.
