olympicus -2-
Aug 24 French Camp, 3/00 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. - 2
small individuals taken from among
loose pebbles - by digging in them - along
the stream below camp (see found p 198),
about 100 yards down hill from the streams
source. The situation is one of moss
covered rocks, a small but probably permanent
stream, bordered by Five-finger Fern
Adiantum pedatum and overhung
by nine-bark Pseudocarpus capitatus
and alders, also western azalea close
along the borders - in a very open
Douglas Fir forest with Tan Oak-
Chinquapin - Madrone understory.
Dicamptodon
A much larger individual was taken
about 50 feet further downstream under
a moss covered flat rock in the waters
of a very small pool (3ft long by 1 foot
wide by 6 inches deep). Water temperature
of this stream is 51 F.
Aug 27 Maple Camp Spring,
3/2 mi NE, Willow Creek, 2200 ft. Humboldt Co., Calif.
I found 7 larvae / of which 1 nearly
metamorphosed, in the small gravel under
the larger moss covered rocks. This stream
probably does not flow more than 1 gallon
a minute, has a temperature of 54° F, and
vanished completely about 8 feet below
where these larvae were taken. It must not
extend more than 100 yds further up hill.
