intro, Dean 2004 Limestone Salamander (Hydromantes brunus) and Ensatina eschscholtzii xanthoptica 3.6 miles along road to Buffalo Gulch from Feliciano Mtn. Road, overlooking Merced River, south of Bridalburg, Mariposa Co., CA 37°36.623'N, 119°56.946'W (WGS84, 10m) 896 m Nov. 13 Jed Paperfuss and I collected a single H. brunus adult female from Feliciano Mountain, in the small limestone cuteros along the Buffalo Gulch Road. The salamander was under a moss-covered rock beneath a small tree in one of the moistest areas of the cuteroop. I found an adult Ensatina a few moments later under a nearby rock. We collected both animals since there is no tissue for H. brunus in the MVZ from this locality. The animals were found around 2PM. H. brunus: SMR 19 Ensatina : SMR 20
