Journal Jan.31. Trip to Rio del Mar, Santa Cruz Co., & Saratoga Santa Clara. Still for a few seconds & blended in beautifully with the deck, muddy soil under logs. After our movement or part of collector they moved rapidly to escape using body undulation of Desmognathus. In fact isolated behavior is quite reminiscent of Desmognathus. We followed Rt 9 via Ben Lomond, Boulder Creek & Saratoga. Many likely regions were investigated for Ganidea & Dicamptodon but with no luck. At Saratoga high flood waters have worked away through habitat of Ganidea & much else else also. a group of some type of eggs found under a rock 4 ft about level of stream. They were not suspended of Plethodontid eggs but did resemble them. Under a pile of boards 50 ft above level of stream we collected Eurycea, Taricha + 3 Batrachomys. Returned home via Rt 9 to Albany & thence to Rt 17 & home to Berkeley at 7:32 P.M.
