Gullion 1949 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.
