Miller 1949 Journal -128- Aug 14 Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif. This area right on the crest is about 50% redwood, with dense Chinquapin; Rhododendron - Salal understory. From there we returned to camp. Shined for awhile after lunch and then went up into the redwood forest above the lumber company shops, to about 250 feet, where we (Murray, Dr. Miller & myself) worked a stream(found by Cogswell & Dr. Pearson) for Rycho Triton, Ascaphus and Dicamptodon amphibians. Found 1 Dicamptodon adult,[Batrachyga] quite a number of Rycho triton larvae and 1 adult, many Ascaphus larvae and 1 adult. This area has nearly a pure stand of redwood - with a salal - blue & vaccinium papilifolium red huckleberry - and some Rhododendron understory - also at least 4 species of ferno (according to Cogswell) - the stream drops about 20 feet for 100 feet of run - is 55° F temp, and much choked with logs and wood debris - it falls over a substrate of rounded boulders - many moss covered is a clear stream. Below the road it becomes underground for short distances, and forms a few fairly sizable pools.
