- Amphibia - 4
Aug [August] 27 [1943] Four A. gracile [underlined] [Ambystoma gracile - Northwestern salamander] adults were collected
on lake shore (Croteau Lake) under logs or
otten [rotten] wood a few feet from waters edge
+ within a few feet of each other.
Size as follows -
93 mm [millimeters]; 104; 102; 140
The three smaller specimens showed only
a little sign of light markings; the
large one was marked quite conspicuously
with bronze, irregular spots as described before
Have these individuals just left the lake?
Yes. The 3 smaller ones still have stumps
of gills. Skin noted very loose over head after death in

One more taken on shore - size 105 [millimeters]; gill stumps
still evident.
[August] 28 [1943] Area in which 4 A. gracile [underlined] were found
yesterday was re-examined with no results.
Air temp. [temperature] (raining) 50 [degree symbol]
Water temp. [temperature] (at edge of lake) 56 [degree symbol]
Toads are certainly widely scattered in the
Plateau area. Individuals were seen almost

at base of Strata; in dense woods; along
all trails.
Hyla [tree frog] is almost as common. Tadpoles are
present in many of the apparently permanent
pools where they are often seen crowded into the
