Gulloni 1949 Gerthonotus 2 Aug 24 French Camp, 3100 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. Animal has the same gray head, a greenish gray back and a green-yellow under surface Aug 27 3 1/2 mi. N.E. Willow Creek, 2400 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.- 1 individual taken in the leaf litter along- side a fallen Chinquapin. The temperature of the animal's immediate environment is 70 F. The ground is covered with several inches of Chinquapin, Madrone and Tan Oak leaves, those being the trees in this area. Evergreen Huckleberry, Poison Oak and small Tan Oaks from the ground cover. Nearest water is probably Maple Spring, 1/2 mile E. of here. Another, yellow animal with a stubby tail was shot about 1/2 mile further west along Waterman Ridge. This animal's environment is much the same as the last, only Salal and Bracken Fern have replaced the other two plants for ground cover. There is some direct sun in this location, and it is warm (3:30 p.m.). Still a third was shot off a fallen log and rather badly messed up, in the Tan Oak part of the Douglas Fir forest, but within less than 100 yards of the edge of a Black Oak forest. Sept 10 Col Mtn., 5300 ft., 4 mi. S Hayfork, Trinity Co., Calif. I collected (7:350 p.m.) under a Brewer Oak.
