Hooper,
1938
Aplodontia;
July 13,
Looked for workings south of S. F Bay
from Sharp Park south to Gazoz
Cr. (±6mi. S Pescadero). In many
canyons we found cover which seemed
ideal for these animals, as on Moxter
Ridge and near Juritas Cr. On Moxter
ridge on N facing canyon walls + on
canyon bottoms the vegetation is thick
and composed of: Baccharis, poison oak,
poison hemlock, ceanothus, thimbleberry,
blackberry, sword fern, bradley, monkey
flower, and Carex. These dense thickets
were in canyons draining directly
into the ocean and within the fog belt;
they seemed to not to provide almost
identical conditions as on St. A[cres] where
they do occur.
Plants identified at suburban:
Everlasting flowers Graphalium +
Aurephalis
Ceanothus chrisiflorus.
