A. Davis, 1940, Old Fort Clatsop, 100', Clatsop Co., Or. Aug. 24. turns with it. Cleared the pond of snags, then muddied the water up, seined a short ways into the mud and at every passage came up with 4 or 5 animals - mostly larvae. Total catch-36 Adult Triturus simulus, 14 large larvae of Amblystoma peristictum, + several hundred larvae of both kinds. The Amblystoma larvae were of 2 sizes, one large and nearly adult, the other rather small. Some in time of the Triturus larvae. Sizer thinks that, in Triturus trogs at least, development takes 2 seasons, basing his argument on the two types of larvae so often obtained. Aug. 25. Fair catch. 2 Neurotrichus- traded one to Russell for a Eutamias. Trap line starting to get stale already. Aug. 26. 3 Neurotrichus. Traded one to Russell etc. 3 Microcrots +1 Bogus, all young or with broken skulls. Not much doing. Raining p. m. Picked up all traps. Everything soggy. Slept in tent. Aug. 27. Fore of us stumpet downlope, hoping rain had brought salamanders to surface. To lunch. 8. m. we packed to go home. Aug. 28. Left for Berkeley & 6:30 a. m.
