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
