Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles Co., Calif. May 2, 1946 Left home of Mr. & Mrs. Cyril Stebbins at about 7:30 a.m. Drove toward Newhall and stopped at a place 1 ½ mi. S. of Newhall, Los Angeles Co., Calif., where we looked for Ensatina in a narrow, N+S canyon, with Q. agrifolia the dominant tree. Dr. Stebbins and I turned over a plank about 15' long, and I found 1 small E. eschscholtzii under my end of the plank. I turned the specimen over to him as he wished to keep it alive. Further up the canyon I found a Batrachoseps attenuatus just under the oak leaf litter covering a large flat area between several oak trees. Mr. Stebbins preserved this specimen in formalin. We then drove up Mint Canyon toward Palmdale, stopping at one point adjacent to the "Sleepy Valley Motel" where there was a good stand of Q. agrifolia. Looked for Ensatina without success. Drove on and turned off on Cal. 138 toward Big Lines Camp Ground. Reached Big Lines about 11:15 a.m., and drove up some of the adjacent canyons looking for possible Ensatina collecting sites. Worked over the leaf (Q. Kelloggii) + fine needle litter adjacent to banks of melting.
