Camp Curry, Yosemite National Park,
Mariposa Co., Calif.
2 July Thinner rocks had warmed
through from heat of sun. Most
all rocks directly on gravel
substrate rather than on rock
substrate. Only salamander
uncovered during entire trip
was an adult Ensatina.
Very few Sceloporus seen during
day. One taken. Had hoped to
get series of intergrades between
Dizariatus and taylori. Two
Crotalus viridis seen during day.
One in damp shady fern over-
grown flood bank, the other
in rocky shady talus. Both
escaped. One Gerrhonotus
seen by Stelbins in rocky
area near river. One Thamn-
phis o. couchii taken just above
Mira Lake. Tenaya Canyon
beyond Snow Creek Falls trail
is passable, though not easy,
on northern side of stream
up to 5250 ft. Beyond this
elevation it appeared impassable
at current water level which is high.
