Kerdwichan 1951 Journal March 7 (e.5m. S5 E [on H'wy?]) 5th & Central Redlands, San Bernardino Co., Calif. 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.
