Aug 29 2 1/2 mi. N Willow Creek 500 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
Certainly saw at least one individual and perhaps
saw two in a brushy area at the split of
the roads going to the Patterson Ranch and to
Horse Linto Creek. Tried unsuccessfully to collect
one but if two different ones were seen they
were both about the same size. I seen clearly
was about 18-20 inches long, with an unmarked
olive-tan back. It vanished rather promptly
into a hole.
Aug 31 Willow Creek 500 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.-
I found a shed skin with its anterior
end in a hole, on the edge of the
walnut orchard N of Willow Creek. The
area is one of dead dried grass in full
sun, a few feet from a blackberry
tangle to the south. Water is about
100 feet away.
