W. Reimer 1951 Journal 4 Mar. Calif.: Napa and Sonoma Co. and Triturus rivalularis and granulosus. Two hrs drive to Calistoga. First stop at Robt Louis Stevenson's Home at the summit of pass between Calistoga and Middletown. Hoped to find A. flavipunctatus here. Found Batrach- oepea and one small Ensatina only. Snow in patches still on ground. Raining. Presumably too cold for amphibians in general. Can Batrachoepea tolerate lower temperatures than the others? The place is a group of abandoned buildings mostly in bad decay. Salamander habitat in form of debris and rocks, logs, etc. abundant. Probably a good spot when warmer. Air temp. 6° C. Returned to Calistoga, then drove to Straggs Springs in north-central Sonoma Co. Here hoped to find T. rivalaris and granulosus as well as A. flavipunctatus. Nice series of Oviedes flavipunctatus taken from under rocks and burnt fence posts lying on ground. Oviedes lugubris, mostly young, taken chiefly under bark of logs. T. rivalaris taken on road and near stream (see that species account). Also taken here were Sceloporus occidentalis, under bark, Diadophis anomabilis and
