Hanken, James 1975 Journal Schoene's Lagoon Campground, N bank Albion R., Albion, Mendocino Co., Calif 29 March Douglas fir, and red alder (Alnus rubra). Turning rocks and logs and peeling away bark for ~1/2 hrs (1530-1700 hrs) resulted in finding only three Batrachoseps attenuatus, all inside rotting log. Again, I was impressed with the possibility may be that the area is drying out generally after the recent rains, reducing salamander activity. The surface litter layer was dry to the touch and cracked under foot, and the moss layer on several logs was noticeably dry. From this site we returned to Hwy 1 S to Van Damme State Park to camp; it was full, and we came to Schoene's Lagoon. Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, UC Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif 29 March Returned to Berkeley at ~1500 hrs. We left Albion this AM at ~ 1030 hrs via Hwy 1 S to Hwy 128 SE across Mendocino Co., to Hwy 101S at Cloverdale, and on to Berkeley. We stopped at two talus-road cuts along Hwy 128 in the redwood forest within 15 miles of the Coast to look for Ensatina eschscholtzii, but none were uncovered in over an hour of picking away at rocks and talus.
