Greene, H. 1988 19 March North Coast Preserve, Branscomb, Mendocino Co., California Arrived here ~1800h yesterday w/ 23 students in a UC Berkeley Herpetology Class, plus TA's Kevin dePeurix and Tom [illegible], and Pat Welsh (U.S. Forest Service). By that time today we'd found 19 species of herps. We went to two sites for Ascalpus on Elder Creek in the morning, and to the "White House" at edge of a meadow in the afternoon. In addition to herps, we saw a pigeon owl (Glauclidium), track and scat of Ursus americanus and tracks of Felis concolor. I saw several scat, cf. Lynx rufus. The herps were: Bufo boreas - under rocks near Wilderness Lodge. Rana boylii - several along Eel River and Elder Creek. Hyla regilla - several under rocks and many heard calling in late afternoon. At one short stretch of trailsider in woods, we found 5 ?? on a sundappled roadbank; w/ ~10 m. all gravid. Ascalpus truei - 2 small ??? in a side tributary of Elder Creek. Dicamptodon ensatus - numerous larvae, some very large and obviously neotenic in the creek behind Wilderness Lodge. Rhyacotriton olympicus - several adults and larvae in side seepages of Elder Creek. Taricha granulosa - Several under cover items in woods. Batrachoseps attenuatus - " " " " "
