Krauter, Sean 2004 Mt. Lyell Salamander (Hydromantes platycephalus) Mt. Otter, east side, above GO Lake Basin, Kings Canyon National Park, Fresno Co., CA 36°48'54.2"N, 118°26'04.7"W 3512m NAD27 June 8 4:15 PM. Found another salamander under a large rock in a snowmelt-fed stream on the side of the mountain. It was an adult and attempted to escape when I grabbed it. The stream was below a talus/dirt slope and above a snowfield, and was flowing over granite rock. SMR #2 East side of Jilliman Crest, Sequoia National Park, Tulare Co., CA 36°39'05.2"N, 118°41'43.1"W, 2919m NAD27 June 12 8:50 PM. I found a single salamander out on the granite in only a little [illegible] bit of water. It was more golden in color than the other adults I have seen so far. The area I found it in was bare granite all the way from the crest far down to Ranger Lake, with lots of snow at the top and snowmelt flowing all the way down. The salamander was about 100m down from the beginning of the granite below the crest. I looked until 10:30 but did not see any others. SMR #3
