Hooper, 1938 Jan. 6. and Dipodomys hermannii and probably D. venustus, were noted here. The flora and fauna was found to be much the same (with local limitations, of course) all the way north to Livermore Valley. Very little toison oak and some toyon was seen. Oaks were chiefly Q. Kelloggii (blue), Q. agrifolia; (lower) on lower slopes were Q. lobata; on slopes (as seen at Isabel Creek camp) was Q. dumosa? (scrub). Birds noted: Plain titmouse, California gay, Red-shafted flicker, Red-tailed hawk, Western Crow, California Thrasher, Calif. Brown Towhee, Wren-tit, Audubon Warbler, Junco, White-crowned sparrow, Horned Owl, Turkey Vulture, Killdeer. In Isabel Cr. Triturus were found to be abundant (We had picked up two from the roadway en route to camp). In the evening when we arrived they all seemed to be moving up-stream. Two kinds were noted: one rough, rugged, dark; another larger, more soft + slimy, and lighter yellow in color. [see note Jan.t)
