x. Davis. 1940. 30). Aug. 17. Old Fort Clatsop, 100'; Clatsop Co., Ore. deep in the middle, with a bottom of thick mud. The surrounding vegetation is almus, cascara, tulus la- ciniatus, little spruce, and at the north end, a large patch of Xerophyllum. The Triturus are slug- glish, but rather wary, and if frightened, swim slowly to the bottom and burrow into the mud, staying down for lengthy periods. The pondwater is very murky, & the dark brown dorsal coloration is excellent protection. Numerous larvae are present, with large branching external gills. They are very wary and fast swim- mers. The species is probably similins. Some Para- saura aurora are present in the Xerophyllum. Cought two garter snakes, one resembling T. sitalis, the other T. ordinoides. Aug. 18. Can traps & skinned a.m. 3 Sorex, 2 microtus, and 1 zapus. In p.m., Chaitin and I caught Triturus and Pana, and set additional traps in the grassy area, & a new line in the woods about a spring to the south of camp, and along a creek and in some bent grass fields south of the spring. Found microtus in first trap line, and Chaitin found & gave me a cedar warwing shot by the son of a nearby rancher. Shot one Mystic after supper. Aug. 19.
