og 20, 1960 Colfax to Berkeley, via U.S. 40, Calif. pointed out another fire to the south of the road. This one looked larger. What a waste! At Auburn it suddenly got quite hot, and as we got lower, the heat got more and more unbearable. I didn't see a single person out in North Sacramento. Sacramento was the usual jam, but we took the usual route around the Capitol building and didn't get lost. We passed a family, whose met Bruce during this summer in Berkeley, and exchanged. Beyond Sacramento there is a lot of alfalfa in cultivation, and lots of Colias were flying back and forth across the freeway. Mom saw a big black butterfly, ? Papilio philenor. On the Yolo Viaduct there were several Anax over the road. Finally at Vallejo it cooled off, and we got gas outside of the city. It was quite windy from Vallejo on to Richmond. We got to Berkeley about 5:30, and got groceries at the Co-op. None of the snakes died or got out, and Gene's gopher snake shed. og 22, 1960 Berkeley, Calif. Took my specimens up to Cal today after taking color notes on the Thamnophis. The Bufo are boreas. The Arizona apparently ate the Sceloporus that was in the cage, and the Eunices I had died. (It was with a Hypsiglena that survived very well.). Gene's Boa seems to be in good shape. The Hypsiglena 2 to small Hyg I brought back. No one is around. John Lawrence was quite pleased with the polypores we brought him, and Doctor Dondovoff was glad to hear from us again,
