"Nandrickson 1958" "Journal" March 6 Berkeley to Los Angeles, California Dr. D. C. Stebbins and I left Berkeley at about 5:30 A.M. Followed Hwy #99 south through the San Joaquin Valley. Arrived Bakersfield at about 12:30 P.M. and followed Hwy #466 to Keene, Kern Co., Calif. About 5.6 mi. N. of Keene (on Hwy #466) we [illegible] spent about 1 1/2 hrs. searching for Batrachospea, but found none. The ground and leaf litter were moist; 3 temps. taken by Dr. Stebbins were: stream, 9.7°C.; under log, 10.0°C.; air (shade), 9.7°C. There was no snow at this altitude (2450 ft.), and the day seemed fairly warm; in all respects - weather, cover, and vegetation type - the conditions seemed ideal for Batrachospea, but none were found. The snow on the Tehachapi Mts. here seemed to have its lower limit (at this time) at about 3000+ ft. Collected one im. [illegible] under a log. Leaving Clear Creek, we returned some distance north, then cut W. to Hwy #99. We followed this to a spot about 1.2 mi. N (on Hwy #99) of Old Fort Tejon.
