Neinity Giant White Pine Campground, Saint Joe Nat'l
Forest, Idaho
26 June
We spent another long and fruitless day searching for
Genhontotus today. We left the campground ca. 0830 and
drove S about a mile to the first open meadow. This seems
to be the only likely Genhontotus habitat in the vicinity
of the published locality I was going by (8 mi. N [Steward]).
We found none. After that we [illegible] spent the rest of the day
driving around on county dirt roads stopping at all likely
spots and rolling logs. Again no Genhontotus. After
getting as far afield as Berrill, we returned to our campsite
of last night ca. 1800.
The only animals collected today were a single Thamnophis,
a single Bufo boreas and [illegible] petausa. These were collected
in various meadows (see catalogue for localities), all of which
had similar physiognomies. They were shallow, not-terribly-
steep sided valleys and the vegetation consisted of variably
badly grazed grasses with scattered Douglas firs. Red cedars
and lodgepole and white pines were also sparingly present. Also
present in each meadow was a small, sometimes dried up
stream. Fallen logs were common though sometimes rather old.
Several of the areas we visited today looked to me as if they
would be perfect for Genhontotus--based on my experiences in the
Sierra Nevada. But no lizards. Where do we go tomorrow?
