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.
