nts, Sean 2004 Mt. Lyell Salamander (Hydromantes platycephalus) On traverse from GO Lake Basin to Gardiner Basin, south of Mt. Cotter on slope, Kings Canyon National Park, Fresno C., CA 36° 48' 32.4" N, 118° 26' 05.0" W NAD 27 3314m July 3 We found one adult and one juvenile salamander under rocks on top of a large granite slab with a little water in it. I collected the adult (SMR #7) but left the juvenile since I already had a salamander from nearby (SMR #2). The habitat in the area looked excellent. We found another juvenile nearby and a second adult farther on towards the Gardiner Basin. There was grass, moss and wildflowers near the salamander sites but no trees. We found the salamanders at 1PM. East of Mt. Jordan on Kings-Korn Divide, Sequoia National Park, Tulare C., CA 36° 40' 41.4" N, 118°26' 41.4" W (8m) NAD 27, 3588m July 8 Sean Schiville and I found three adult and one juvenile Hydromantes platycephalus at 7:30PM. The salamanders were found under rocks in a large seep and spring system east of Mt. Jordan and south of Mt. Menara. There was a lot of water flowing over rocks as streams and small waterfalls, and no vegetation besides grass and wildflowers. We kept two of the adults as specimens (SMR #8,9). We only searched for half an hour, so the area probably has a large population of salamanders.
