Aug 14 Big lagoon 250 feet, Humboldt Co., Calif. -
d took light larvae out of the section
of a stream below the Hammond lumber
Company road going directly up from
the Big Lagoon shops. At this
stream is in the redwood belt. It
drops about 90 feet for every 100 feet
run- temperature was 13°C (55°F).
R-Water clear, and in the area worked
there was a thin coat of mud on the
bottom. As I approached each pool the
larvae present all scooped around seeking
cover. Most of them were satisfied to
have just their heads covered with
mud- the rest of the body being left
exposed. Several large larvae were
seen that I was not able to catch-
they all headed for deep water when
I approached.
