W. Reiner 1949 Journal 19 Feb Pinehurst, Contra Costa Co., Calif. midcurrent 6.9°. Stream has receded to about normal since no rain during past week. Water very clear, not turbulent. Seemed quite suitable for Triturus though but few minutes spent searching and none seen. Many Ensatina seen under surface boards. 22 Feb: About 1030-1200 spend searching stream below bridge for Triturus. 2ff, 7 breeding 87 marked. Localities plotted on very rough sketch map and also spotted on ground with red wax crayon. Meitner 1ff in water, but none 87 out of water. Many "ideal" looking pools without Triturus. #07 & 08 when found were facing each other while resting on bottom of pool and several inches apart. They approached one another, seemed to touch each others snouts with that structure and after few minutes both turned in different directions and proceeded off. No animosity at all evident. On return to car one young & taken on road
