Roberts, Sean 2005 Journal Feb. 4 Hell Hollow and Bauer Cave, Mariposa Co., CA Juan Parra, Kim Jsaas and cl drive to Hell Hollow along Highway 49 to get mouth swabs of H. brunus at night. We saw three juvenile and one adult [illegible] dusky salamander at the small stream one turn above Hell Hollow, and a Batrachoseps bedriacius at Hell Hollow, but no Hydromantes. We then drive to Bauer Cave near Groby Hill and explored the area around the cave but found no salamanders. The night was cool and the grass had some dew on it, but it was rather dry in general since it hadn't rained much and wasn't misty. The night was cloudy and somewhat clear. Feb. 5 Marble Gulch and Bridewing Road, Stanislaus National Forest, Mariposa Co., CA We drive along the Bridewing Road from the Centerville-Yosemite Road (J-132) and stopped at Marble Gulch. There were many limestone-covered rocks, especially below the road (between the road and the creek) and we flipped rocks for about an hour but found nothing (37°44'21.7"N, 120°01'07.9"W, NAD 27, 9m, 836m). The habitat looked ideal for H. brunus, much like the Hite Cave site although a bit drier and with more brush. We drove further along the road toward Bridewing and Sawda
