Hanken, James 1975 Journal Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, UC Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif 29 March made one additional stop at the Indian locality so Creel County Park, Mendocino Co., 0.4 mi E of Palo, Mendocino Co. to turn and break open logs, etc. The campground comprises typical Redwood forest (most trees Sequoia; fern) at the eastern fringe of the distribution of redwood forest at that latitude. One Ensatina eschscholtzii was found beneath a piece of fallen bark and one Taricha rivularis found walking across a decayed redwood log in the shade (the latter was not collected). No Batrachoseps were found during the 1/2-hr. of observation (1300-1330 hrs). From here we drove essentially straight there to Berkeley. Hastings Reservation, Carmel Valley, Monterey Co., Calif 15 April Arrived here yesterday at ~1500 hrs to spend a few days looking primarily for Ambystoma tigrinum breeding ponds. Weather has been unseasonably cold; only one day this month has had temps above 60°F. According to Jim Griffin the weather has been mostly cold & overcast with some rain but mostly drizzle (for the season there has been ~25" of rain - ~5" above normal).
