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.
