1.2 mi. N.(on U.S. Hwy #39) Fort Tejon Kern Co., 2900 ft., Calif.
We worked along a steep-sided ravine beside the highway. The water coming from the seep just below Fort Tejon contributes to the small stream running down this ravine. I collected Batrachose attenuatus and Lamporellis (see species accounts). The ravine is rather thickly grown with valley oak, sycamore, willow, and alder. Dr. Stebbins collected as 2 Ensatina eschscholtzii croceater.
0.8 mi. N(on U.S. Hwy #39) Fort Tejon, Kern Co., 2900 ft., Calif.
We worked along the water issuing from a warm seep, and above the seep, just below the old fort. See Dr. Stebbins notes for detailed description of vegetation of this area. Buds were opening on some of the willows. Snow was seen on slopes 300-500 ft. above the collecting locality. Kyla were noted croaking at about 5:00 P.M. It was approximately at this hour that the valley fell into shadow from the hills to the West. Leaving Fort Tejon we drove to Sherman Oaks and spent the night at the home of Dr. Stebbins parents.
