Crowley 1942 May 30 Mt Cedar Grove S Fork Kings R, 4600 ft, Fresno Co, Calif. Lampropeltis multicincta (115) Caught this Coral King Snake on the trail between Roaring R. Falls and Zumwalt Meadows, on the S. bank of the S. Fork of Kings R. Moved snake with lizard noose but snake was too heavy. So had to grab snake by the back of the head and put it into lizard bag. Animal was caught on bank of stream, 4 ft. from water, under alders, near rocks but in sandy soil. Day was warm, sunny. Snake was playing in shade of trees mostly but when first seen was in warm sunshine pointing toward river. Put snake up after chloroforming it slowly - to avoid kinks. Then slit snake's ventral side with longitudinal slit every 4 inches, and injected him (it ?) with formalin. Put him in formalin jar.
