W. Riemer 1951 Journal 4 Aug. Calif.: Contra Costa Co. At Lafayette Reservoir to check Triturus 0830 - 0945 hrs. No adults, no metamorphosed young. At Pinehurst 1015-1115 hrs. Many larvae. Stream still flowing. 12 Aug. Calif.: Marin Co. Made trip to Marin Co. while hoping to find Triturus larvae or post-larval young; at least to determine stage of development attained thus far. Went first to locality where Pweifel had captured several Triturus last May i.e. 1½ mi. SSE Alpine Lake Dam, Cataract Canyon. No Triturus seen though stream still with numerous deep pools through no flow. Disamptodon larvae taken. Rana boylii adults taken. Both common. Also checked stream 4 mi. S, 1 mi. E Mt. Tamalpais (West Peak), in Frank Valley. Ideal appearing but no Triturus in any form present. R. boylii present. Probably 3-4 hrs spent searching for larvae. No reason why larvae not present has yet occurred to me. 17 Aug. Calif.: Contra Costa Co. Check of Triturus study area at Lafayette made to determine developmental stage at which Triturus taurus now are. (See that account). In area 1530 - 1545 hrs. 1330 - 1345.
