Creator Transcript
  • Ambystoma gracile [Northwestern salamander] May 20/42 [1942] Drove to Jordan River with Ted Hart and from there in Jack Clarke [crossed out] Elliots car North along West Coast road to a point about 4 miles north of Jordan River + 50 yds [yards] south of Merriman's Creek. Here, egg masses and yearling larvae of A. gracile [Ambystoma gracile - Northwestern salamander] were found in pot holes such as formed when stumps have been pulled or blasted out. Also in small stream which was little more than a trickle but prossibly permanent. Two egg masses were formed in a stagnant pond (pot-hole) into which no water was flowing + which seemed warmer to the hands. One mass was jelly only, the larvae having hatched; the other was near hatching + quite green with commensal algae. About 8 Larvae were taken in the first pit-hole where they were observed lying on bottom in open sunlight. - easily caught in dip net. In another pot-hole 3 were seen + 2 were taken. These buried in the mud on sight but were not difficult to locate - larger than those in 1st hole.
