W. Riemer 1953 Journal 1 Mar. Calif: Alameda Co. Arroyo Mocho 3rd stop: Arroyo Mocho, 1 mi. S Mt. Wallace, 2250 ft. Only a single Triturus torosus taken here in spite of considerable effort in rolling logs and rocks. Several other stops made during trip but they produced no specimens. Weather: cool to cold, sometimes windy, sunny and clear. Cold plus dryness appear responsible for death of animals seen. Thin cover of snow on higher elevations persisted throughout the day. A very light rain had fallen during previous night but not enough to moisten soil. On return home heavy snowfall encountered between Dublin and Walnut Creek. 2 Mar.
