D.A. Good 1982 Journal 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?
