Batrachoseps pacificus major March 7 582 Meadowlark Place, Pasadena, Los Angeles Co., Calif. Searched for, but did not find, the large specimen reported by John Davis. He showed me the exact spot, but the salamander was not there at the time. If he sees it again he will collect it. This record, if corroborated by a specimen, would be a rather significant altitudinal extension of range for the major - almost restricted to the alluvial slopes at the base of the hills (this locality is fairly well (200 ft?) above the base of the hills. March 7 1420 E Mountain Ave., Pasadena, Los Angeles Co., Calif. Collected one large, gray specimen from under a 2" X 12" X 8' plank in the backyard of John Davis home. No other Batrachoseps were seen, although John has seen others. John showed me the spot from which he took the (presumed) major eggs. The soil was even and packed - no apparent possibility of unintentional hiding or movement of eggs in loose, irregular soil.
