W. Piemer 1951 Journal 19Aug. Calif.: Mendocino Co., Van Dammne State Parke, 2 mi S, 2½ mi E Mendocino with considerable areas of rapids and cascades. Examined only quieter portions and found only Dicamptodon as larvae and post-larvae abundant. Larvae in all sizes. Rana aurora common in weeds and grass along edges. Stuart found one subadult Triturus granulosus under rock near stream. This is a beautiful park and exciting looking stream. 19Aug. Calif.: Sonoma Co., Quentin Creek, 1¼ mi. S. Cazadero Drove south on Calif. #1 and turned off at Fort Ross for Cazadero. Stream not accessible until that town. Search of stream - quiet, broad, shallow with occasional deep pools - at this locality revealed only one small R. boylii. Crawfish abundant. Do this reason Triturus and Rana not present? Would they be present in small side streams? Returned to Berkeley via Petaluma and Vallejo arriving at 2130 hrs. 1 Sept. Calif: Tuolumne and Calaveras coo. Wife, child, and I drove to area of Sonora with objective #1: (1) determining developmental stage of Triturus larvae in Sierras and
