J. Rodgers Waddell Creek/Miniabe Beach Santa Cruz Co., Calif. Jan. 16, 1938. We found 3 Ceromyces in our traps, found, a freshly opened gopher hole, set a trap and (in 30 minutes) caught it. We tossed a coin for Paul won't. After breakfast we walked (east) across a field and collected 2 or 3 slender salamanders and 15 or 18 Triturus. We took every Triturus we saw for 15 minutes, so, consider the collection representative for that time and place. We looked under all logs & rocks & tore several rotten logs apart. We had planned on driving to the forks (2 1/2 miles) and walking to a flat 1 1/4 mile above the forks to trap for Zapus on a flat on which I have a faint recollection of seeing small mice jump whisker-garous, but, we have learned that a caterpillar tractor is coming down the already muddy road, bringing down some bridge stringers, and is leaving the road in an impassable condition! There was less than a trace of rain during the night but it is raining steady this morning. It's darks it looks like we are in for a long rain.
