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.
