Ensatina eschscholtzii 25 mi. NE of Junction of Highway 2 and 118, Los Angeles to, Calif. May 7, 1946 Collected 2 Ensatina eschscholtzii about 50' above a stream flowing at the bottom of a rather open canyon. These specimens are R. D. Stilbins Orig. Nos. 834 & 835. The first was a first-year individual and was taken under a large piece of yellow pine bark about 8' from a fallen yellow pine nearly 50' long. The canyon wall sloped about 30° at this point. The sub- strate upon which the salamander was lying was rather dry earth and pine-needle mold. The second specimen was taken from under an oak log about 200 yards upstream and on the opposite canyon wall from the first specimen. The substrate was fairly moist earth and oak-leaf mold. Specimen was regenerating its tail. Vege- tation in the canyon included Drensete- dar, yellow pine, Acer macrophyllum, canyon live oak, Leanothus sp., and Alnus sp.
