J.D. Anderson 1958 Journal July 23 Trip to Carson Pass, Amador - El Dorado Co., Calif. Continues only at spillway. Worked around the "box" turning logs. Got 1 adult macrodactylum under a large (3ft diam.) yellow pine which had been cut down. Further search of the area produced nothing except 1 Genhorotus. Drove on to a pond at Carson Spur, 7990 ft. Still raining and quite cold. Checked logs all around pond with no luck. Then worked pond with dip net + raining so hard that it was impossible to see anything small in water. I'm sure I would have been able to see adults but brown wood lice invisible on dark bottom with poor light + the surface spattered with raindrops. Drove east further on 88. Stopped at West end of Twin Lakes Alpine Co., Calif. A stream bed pond is situated about 100yds W. of spillway from the lakes. Water shallow, many fallen logs. Bottom very soft + muddy. Checked carefully for Ambystoma with no luck. Drove on again, past on Rt 88. Stopped at a small pond approx 30-40m long by 15-20 yds wide. Probably a spring bed pond. Dense growth of scrubby willow around it. Red fir, white pine + lodgepole pine around edges. Rock outcrops from a low ridge east of the pond. Bottom very soft + silty. Raining too hard for dip net work. Turned logs in area for 45 min. but found nothing. Locality is 4mi. E (by Rt 88) Kribwood, 8000 ft., Alpine Co., Calif. Continued east on Rt 88. Went over Carson Pass to
