Dicamptodon ensatus -1-
Aug 14 Big Lagoon, 250 feet, Humboldt Co., Calif.
1 adult taken in the heavy redwood
belt E of the south end of Big Lagoon.
It was under a rather flat stone, on a
gravelly, muddy substrate about
3 feet from swiftly moving water - stones
are all moss covered - and in quite dark
situations. Nearby water was 13°C (55°F).
Aug 24 French Camp, 300 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. - (copied
from Rychotriton olympicus, page 2). A much
larger individual was taken about 50 feet
further downstream (from where the Rychotriton
were taken) - about 200 to 300 yards below the
source of this stream) under a moss covered
flat rock in the waters of a very small
pool (3 ft long, 1 foot wide, 6 inches deep).
Water temperature was 57°F.
Aug 26 3 mi. N Willow Creek, 700 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
1 large and 1 small individual taken from
the waters of Raccoon Creek just below
the bridge at the campsite. They were in
a fairly still pool in the main part of the
stream, on a rocky bottom, some hiding
under stones. This pool is subject to
direct sunlight only during middle part
of morning - water about 1 ½ feet deep,
temperature 55°F.
