W. Reiner 1952 Journal 30 May Calif: vicinity Lake Almanor, Plumas Co. Butte Meadows. Two miles W of Meadows ran into more extensive meadow but found nothing but Sceloporus graciosus which were common. Took one. Continued N on Hwy 32, then E on 36-89 and S on 89 to Big Meadows Dam & Lake Almanor. Stopped several places along this route but found no Rana or Triturus. Most of this route through typical Transition Forest with occasional rises to Canadian, eg. at junction of Hwys 32 and 36-89. Camped on No. Fork Feather River at Seneca. 31 May Much morning spent searching downstream for Triturus and Rana boylii. A dozen scattered Triturus taken plus one batch of newly laid eggs. No frogs seen. Several Thamnophis elegans taken along stream. Sceloporus graciosus and occidentalis common on same rocks along roadway. Local kid says no frogs present - water to rapid. Says also that rattle snakes abundant in pits near stamping mill of gold(?) mine upstream from bridge at Seneca. Says thamnophis zonata occurs in area also.
