2 May Calif.: Butte Co. In this area inspected
several streams near Magalia, Deaddle,
Centerville and areas between; found no Triturus.
All water seems high and rapid with
cloody effect. Is this product of recent
storms? At 3 mi S Magalia captured
1 Gyrtonotus multicarinatus near stream
in yellow pine forest. Also saw Rana boylei.
At Magalia in rocky cataracts below
Paradise Reservoir took one Rana boylei.
Camped for night near Centerville.
3 May Examined Butte Creek in several places between
Centerville and a short ways below the
Honey Run Covered Bridge. Several isolated
pools looked ideal, had temperatures of 12°C,
Main stream 10°C. Took only one Rana
catesbeiana 5 mi. SW Centerville. Then drove
directly to:
3 May Calif: Shasta Co. where a short stop at
a wide (20 ft.) stream of moderate flow in
a belt of large palms in essentially open
grazing land. Here at 4 mi. WSW Bella
Vista caught 1 Rana catesbeiana and one
Rana boylei. A second stop for Triturus
made at 1 mi. NE Bigot and in small
canyons tributary to Cow Creek took
large series of T. grandis and a few screeve.
Also there was one Clemmys marmorata
