S.B. Ruth 1968 3 March 21 3 mi. E. Burnt Ranch Hwy 299 Trinity Co. Cr. rapidly moving toward the water attempting to escape. They are rapid moving and one has to be quick to box them in and block their route to the open water. Six more Rhyacotriton were found beyond this point in the space of about a half an hour. All were found in fine talus at water level beside the stream within about 2 or three inches of the rapidly flowing stream. One large larva Rhyacotriton was found. It had a very large laterally flattened tail and gills. I have been carefully looking on moss covered rocks and logs in the splash zone for exposed salamanders but I have not seen any. Another Ambystoma flavipunctatum was uncovered at the waters edge but it escaped down a hole in the bank. While working up the creek I have been concentrating on the right hand side of the creek. coming back down I concentrate on the left side. I found several more Rhyacotriton but as I have enough I did not bother collecting them. Bessie found a Hyla regilla hopping about in the dry grass about 50 feet
