J.D. Anderson 1958 Journal May 22 - Valencia Lagoon, Rio del Mar, Santa Cruz Co., Calif. 4th check - 10:25 - 11:05 - Bomba Rd. 1 subod Ensatina, 1 ad & Ensatina, #Flo 4 Helminthoglypta, 2 large snails. Temp '1/4" - 19.4°C; soil 18.0°C. RH - slim's psychrometer - This was last check here. Pool grids met. Cell depressions & holes are full of water much as they are after first heavy fall rains. But no Ambystoma. Plethodontids made some response but apparently motion short of floods will bring the museum out. Worked the old wood for 1/2 hour, using both Coleman lantern & large flashlight. Saw no salamander. In all above road checks & wood check - young Hylox were everywhere under foot. Drove out to the new tiger locality - 8 1/2 mi. mile N.W. of Elliott. Checked for transmont's A. tigrinum but saw none. Water looks about same as it did on May 18. But rain may have contributed some to that. Left for home at 12 midnight - arrived home 1:45 am (PDT.).
