May 2, 1946
Snow, but no Ensatine were found.
Drove back to administration building
at Big Pines Camp ground, and talked
to Fire Guard James Colwell. Dr. Stebbins
showed him live specimens of both
E. croceator & E. escholtzii, and asked
Colwell if he had run across either
or both during his year at Big
Pines. Colwell replied that he had
never seen croceator, but had run
across about 6 specimens of escholtz
ii while rolling logs near Jackson
Lake, about 3 mi. W. of Big Pines.
We then drove about 1/2 mile back
along the road toward Jackson
Lake, & stopped to collect at the foot of
a canyon 1/2 mi. NW of the Headquarters
of Big Pines Camp. There were numerous
fallen logs lying in the Q. Kelloggii - Liriodendron
ponderosa leaf- and needle litter.
Stebbins & I started rolling logs, and
each of us found an E. escholtzii
almost simultaneously, his a sub-
adult, mine fully adult ? . I turned
my specimen over to him. We then
drove to a camp - ground at the SE end
of Jackson Lake, Angeles Nat'l. For. Los Angeles
