We collected a good series of the
(apparently) intergrading attenuatus X
major population which occurs here.
The animals ranged in appearance
from "good" attenuatus to "fairly
good" major. In Dr. Stelling's
opinion there was a perceptible
difference in habitat choice between
animals of the two types - major
tending to be out on the flat
(alluvium) and out from under
the live oaks, while attenuatus
tending to be under (or in
close association with) the oaks.
It did seem to me that the
"attenuatus" were almost restricted
to close association with the oak;
the "major" and intergrades seemed
rather generally spread; however,
I found them plentiful under the
oaks as well as on the alluvial
soil between ridges. Notes on assoc-
iated animals: no millipedes noted;
following noted:
small black slugs, Dermaptera cricket, sow
bugs, centipedes (both green and orange),
land snails carabid beetles, Detculatoma
and Calotermes.
