Davis 1946 1. [illegible] Canyon, Contra Costa to., Calif. to Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles to., Calif. April 30, 1946 Left home of Dr. Robert Stebbins at 6 a.m. headed for Sherman Oaks, Calif., in M.V.Z. Dodge Truck. Party consisted of Dr. & Mrs. Robert Stebbins, the Stebbins' two small children, and myself. Ate in Merced at 10 o'clock. Arrived at Old Fort Tejon, 33S0', Kern Co., Calif., at 4 p.m. Dr. Stebbins and I proceeded up a canyon due west of the old fort, for a distance of about a mile, in search of Eusateria. Stebbins had taken 2 specimens of this Salamander here in early January, 1946. The lower part of the Canyon was too dry for good collecting, but conditions were better farther up. We dug into the leaf mold which had accumulated below the Quercus Chrysolepis, the dominant tree in this Canyon. Also found a few wood rat nests, one of which held a female wood rat with young. Dr. Stebbins found two Eusateria in the leaf mold under Q. chrysolepis about 1 mile up the canyon from the old fort. One was adult, the other sub-adult, both females. They were found only a few inches below the surface of the accumulated leaf mold. We returned to the car at 5:45 p.m. and proceeded to the home of Mr. & Mrs. Cyril Stebbins in Sherman
