April 29, 1950 (cont.) Streams is a decid. rip. assoc. of yew, alder, & maple. The fir-hemlock stand contains many down-logs of 1'-5' diam. in all stages of decomposition. Huckleberry & salal roots are interlacing in many of the more rotten logs. Here I collected 1 Phtheochroa wrighti, Don collected 5 B. wrighti, & Bob collected 6 Ensatina e. organensis 2 Incisea forera, & 1 Plathodon sp. The B. wrighti were all collected from well-rotted Douglas fir (all?) logs, from 1" to 4" inside the logs (18" to 3' diam.) in footwormpin chambers or cracks. Water could be squeezed from the surrounding wood. The wood temp. where the animals were was 6° C, The air temp. was from about 12° C. to 14° C. Left in late afternoon & drove back to Foster Bridge; there I collected 4 small Pana boylii, several Incisea forera, and 2 Eumeces skiltonianus. From Foster Bridge across Fountain R. drove via Berlin, Scio, Shelburn, Stayton, Sublimity & Hwy 214 to Silver Creek Falls State Park. Custodian allowed us to camp there for the night (not usually permitted). Heard type in a nearby beaver pond.
