Haukey James 1975 Journal 17 April Hastings Reservation, Carmel Valley, Monterey, Calif. Oak woodland area bisected by a stream. 16 Batriachrops, 6 Ensatinia eichholtzi, and one juvenile Enneos schlorcaimus were collected. One Gerranos multicarinatus (juv.) and a Sceloporus occidentalis were also found. The Batriachrops were found to be much more common than at Hastings, I continued on to the Los Tulares Ranch ~8 mi. NW of the reservation to look for Ambystoma larvae in the pond beside the corral. The pond is over a hundred yards in diameter with little standing vegetation at its edge (a few trees at spots) and a few clumps of tule a few in spots a few feet in from the edge. No larvae were found during the several hours of observation, including dip-netting through the leaf litter and much at water's edge and among the tule (a small cove provided access to the tule). Hyla larvae were found, as were Bufo livens eggs. A pair of mute swans were in residence, as were several Cereopsis Canadian geese and a green heron. At least thirty Cynomys marmotata were seen basking at the water's edge. This morning I examined Friick Creek between the junction with Big C. and Waneis ranch.
