Creator Transcript
  • Ambystoma gracile [underlined] [Northwestern salamander] June 8 [1942] Ted Hart reports seeing many egg masses in "Alligator Creek", a tributary to Jordan River, West Coast. In the area noted the creek is slow moving + meandering through a meadow; very little current is evident. When surveyed by water engineers many large larvae were present; hence the name "Alligator" One egg mass collected contained the green algae commonly found living the capsules but no larvae were present. Apparently hatched, yet jelly was quite firm, contrary to usual condition at this stage. Triturus [underlined] [newt] was also seen + collected Hyla [underlined] [tree frog] also seen. Salamander egg masses were also seen in some numbers in another "meadow" area where shallow water was standing.
