- Ambystoma (macrodactylum) Salamander
Richter Pass May 20/41 [1941]
At about the summit of Richter Pass
(4800' [feet]) just before the descent to Osoyoos
we found a large pond containing
many larvae of Ambystoma [underlined]. The sizes
of the larvae ranged from 14 to 25 mm. [millimeters],
the larger ones having all four limbs.
They differed from gracile [underlined] in many
respects - diurnal instead of nocturnal;
- black, elongated spot in front of eyes;
- chunkier build
- longer toes.
Possibly they are larvae of A. macrodactylum [underlined] [Ambystoma macrodactylum]
Specimens were collected: some were preserved
+ about 6 were sent alive to the Museum
to be reared to adults if possible.
May 27 [1941]
Very small larvae, still with balancers,
were collected in stream back water at Mile 14
Camp, Anarchist Mt. [mountain] Kept alive for rearing.
May 30/41 [1941]
Larvae were found + collected in two
ponds, one north + one south of White Lake, west
of Okanagan falls. Some were kept for
rearing.
