Creator Transcript
  • March 3 (contd [continued]) [1942] The number of eggs per clump varied from two to nine, and each egg was about 2.5 mm [millimeters] in diam. [diameter] No adult salamanders were seen. Very few phyllopods (Eubranchipus oregonus [underlined] [oregon fairy shrimp]) were seen althought last fall (November?) the pond was teeming with juveniles and last year at this time mature adults were present in large numbers. Could they have been killed off by ice formation + consequent suffocation? Only 3 or 4 adults were taken. A large swamp east of this pond resounded with a Hyla [underlined][tree frog] chorus but as it was on fenced property I did not examine it. Met school boys who directed us to Savary's Pond where "lizards" were seen under logs a week or two before. Savary's Pond [underlined] appears to be formed by the overflow from Florence Lake. It is several acre in extent lying in a pot-hole valley just east of Highway behind Buyare's Store near Langford Lake. A current of water was running through, which probably ceases in summer but pond appears to be permanent.
