April 28, 1950 Started driving at about 8:00. Left Kway 101 and took Kway 38 at Reedport. Stopped on Kway 38 about 8 mi. W. (by road) Scottsburg, Douglas Co., Ore. to collect. This point is the O.R. North farm (at present), about 4 mi. W. (by road) of covered bridge across Mill Creek. Kway at this point runs along S. bank of Umpqua River. A small canyon opens onto the road at the point where the North mail box stands. I followed this south along a dry, rocky rivulet bed and along a pipeline carrying water from about 1/4 mile up the canyon where there is surface flowing water. The canyon is densely wooded with both decid. & conif. trees, choked with fallen wood and low branches, and has a heavy layer of mosses, leaf litter, & ferns. Found Plethodon vehiculum, Anieider ferreus, and one Didelphis — under some under fallen wood, most under rocks. The canyon, and niche where I found salamanders, were quite wet. The Didelphis was under a rock in a more open hillside area. Joined Kway 99 at Drain, Ore., and followed it to Corvallis. Contacted Robt. Storm and spent night at his home.
