Feb. 17 No sign of otter salamanders even after extensive
rocks and litter rolling ups along the small mine
treadle built here. Stebbins and Cornin got nothing
here in Feb. 1953. This is probable most easternmost
locality (authentic) for Batrachosps, although the
questionable Yosemite Park (ran Chigoguin?) locality
once verbally reported to John Harduckman may
have been valid. Stebbins told me that Harduchman
never did write the locality down or check it out
after given it dry a YNP Ranger.
We left Yosemite Valley about 4 P.M. Otter
stop at Bridelung where additional Hydranutes (3?)
taken. The roadside about 2 miles NE of Bridelung
was checked out but no Hydromantes, Stebbins and
Cornin never had been able to extend their range
northward from Cornin's type locality 0.7 mi. NE
Brideling, small Oneidas, Batrachosps taken.
Supper stop N side of Monojion. Took Mt. Bullion
cutoff to Hwy 140. Overcast sky, cool, moderate
winds. Several listening stops for spadefoot toads.
Bylas only heard.
8 P.M.
7 mi. E, 5 miles N of Plorida, about 500 ft,

number of times line. Rora catalbeina tadad and
2 large adults, 1 subadult collected. Bylas (few)
out and calling. Eggs not seen. Sky clearing, air 10-12°C.
Live adult Bufo boree on Hwy 140, 4 mi. NE of
Plorida, Meryjira Co., Calif. Also D.O.R. 3 mi. NE Plorida
