2 Sept. Calif: Tuolumne Co.
which he pointed out
we collected three larval Triturus, almost
9a size for metamorphosing. All found
by turning over rocks in bottom of pool.
Pool 6 X 2 feet and at deepest 18 inches.
Cold, no temperature recorded. Perhaps
Triturus also present at Curtis Creek
mentioned above if similar niche examined.
For large numbers of adults in
the spring Clarke suggested going to
Italian Bar near Columbia or to
region of Berkeley Recreation Camp,
Harden Flat on State Hwy 120 near
western boundary of Yosemite. Exact
locality of larvae collected above is Woods
Creek, 1½ mi SE Columbia. The total
lengths of the three animals: 43, 46, 47 mm.
9 Sept. Calif; Marin Co.
Trip made Marin to try
to find state of development of Triturus granulosus
and locate site where a large series might
be collected when wanted. With wife + child
drove via Vallejo, Novato, Point Reyes Station,
Olema, Lagunitas, San Anselmo, San
Francisco and home. Several miles west of
Novato noted construction of a new dam
site. This may be interesting to watch in
the future to watch Triturus population,
if any, grow. At present entire area between
