Aug. 17, 1960 Five lakes, 1.7 mi S., 1.4 mi W. Squaw Valley, 7500 ft., Placer Co., Calif. This picture shows the channel between the westernmost and the adjacent lake of the Five Lakes. The picture is looking eastward, from the westernmost lake at the north side of the channel. The channel is about 8 feet wide, 2 feet deep, and quite calm. A number of Rana muscosa were seen by the logs which form a bridge over the channel. Aschaga interrupta and Aschna umbrosa flew along the waters edge in fair numbers, and Damsel flies were numerous along the shore. The area surrounding the lakes is quite forested, although the edge of the lake has been cleared. Lepidoptera Butterflies were very scarce here.
