Gullion 1949 Thamnophis sstalis -/- Aug 12 Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co. Calif - 1 individual collected on the sandy South bank of Maple Creek, in a fern-raspberry patch under willows about 100 feet E of the bridge N of the log pond. Soil it was on was dry and semi-shaded. Ground cover not dense. Aug 15 same locality - Saw several quite large individuals in the marsh area at the south end of the lagoon. They are seen most frequently in the short Eleocharis Eleochasis, a short distance away from which Scirpus stands- where they head for escape. Aug 27 see Thamnophis elegans for this date- since that account properly belongs with this species.
