Salty Bay Provincial Park to Miracle Beach Provincial Park,
Vancouver Is., British Columbia
10 July
We spent the morning (ca. 8:00-1200) searching for
alligator ligands in the Lois Lake Dam locality we used
yesterday - we got 4 more ligands and 4 Thamnophis.
After lunch we drove back N on 101 to Lowell River where
we took the ferry across to Vancouver Island (Comox).
From Comox we drove N on 19 to Miracle Beach Provincial
Park, which we reached ca. 1530. I talked to the park
naturalist, but he was of little help in suggesting places to
look for Genusnotus. We spent the rest of the afternoon
driving around the Miracle Beach-Oyster River area
looking for likely spots, but we found no ligands -
just one Thamnophis at Oyster River. We camped at
Miracle Bay.

We spent the morning and half of the afternoon (until
1500) looking for ligands in some localities I had from
museum specimens. The first thing I did in the morning
was to walk down to the nature center to talk to the naturalist
(as I expected, it was a different one from the one who was of
little help yesterday). She said that the live specimen they had
in the center was from the Courtenay Fish (Hitchberry), so we
went there first. We then drove S along 19 to the vicinity
of Parkville. In none of the places we looked could we
come up with ligands. In mid afternoon we caught the
