Hankew, James 1975 Journal Harris Beach State Park, Curry Co, Oregon 27 March 3.3 miles W of the junction of Hwy's 42 x 42 S Locality 9 in Coquille, Coos County, we stopped at a seep along the road by a seep at the base of a road cut (~100' high) facing the Coquille R. Pseudotsuga douglasii was dormant above the cut which was itself overgrown with low shrubs and ferns. Six Plethodon (presumably durri because of dorsal stripe extending before tail tip and locality) were readily found within 1/2 hour by peeling away rocks in the splash zone or at the base of the seep. Time of observation 1430-1500 hrs. Continuing S on Hwy 42 we passed thru Myrtle Point, then took the road off of Hwy 42 towards Agness. We were told by a local resident that the road from Agness S to Gold Beach was closed, so decided not to continue on towards Agness. We did stop Locality 10 at another seep ~1 mi. N of the town of Dayland similar to locality 9. Working the seep for ~15 minutes produced one Ensatina escholtzii in the rock rubble at the base of the seep. From here we then headed back to Hwy 101 S to Port Oxford to spend the night. We had difficulty finding a place to camp (Humbug Mtn. State Park was closed) and finally found a small clearing partly cleared area among so within a black pine
