covered by Mr. Halstead G. White in hollow logs on Stonewall Creek, 
6% 0 miles southwest of Soledad, Monterey County, on July 23 and 
24, 1919. On July 14, 1920, Dr. V. E. Emmel took a lot of 14 eggs 
from beneath a flower box in the Botanical Garden on the campus at 
Berkeley. 
The detailed record of the 1903 material, at Berkeley, in Miller’s 
MS notes is as follows : 
July 7 or 8 
July 15 (about) 
July 22 
Four or five adults in cracks and crevices in a bole in a tree. 
Three Aneides about two years old in nest 6 feet above 
ground; animals up in cone-like apex of hole. 
Eight and 12 animals, respectively, of all sizes, in two holes 
in a California buckeye; second hole closed at entrance 
save for small irregular opening which appeared like a 
mere surface abrasion.

Four salamanders in hole 14 feet aboveground. 
Two large Aneides and 3 eggs in hole at least 16 feet above- 
ground; one adult resisted removal and snapped viciously 
when caught by the tail. Cavity small and open, animals 
covered with moss, and eggs suspended from top of 
cavity. 
“Nest,” not investigated, 6 or 7 feet aboveground; 4 or 5 
eggs suspended from ‘ ceiling ’ and a large animal seemed 
to be coiled about them. 
An adult coiled about her eggs. 
Set of 13 eggs, with embryos well advanced in development 
squirming about in their capsules. 
Set of 10 eggs, embryos younger, still unpigmented, and not 
moving. 
Two adult females and 14 eggs taken in hole at least 30 
feet aboveground ; orifice not more than one inch in 
diameter. 
Two adults and a ‘batch’ of eggs well advanced in develop- 
ment. 
Four batches of eggs, one cluster of 14 well advanced in 
development, two of 12 and one of 16, the last taken 
from oak next to LeConte Oak, with two large adults and 
three ‘yearlings’ in hole 20 feet aboveground. 
Two adult females and 7 eggs far advanced in development ; 
three eggs hatched this date though prematurely. Females 
contained white “ovules” about 2 mm. in diameter and 
few in number, forming a row ‘ ‘ the length of the abdom- 
inal cavity. ’ ’ 
Thirty-five salamanders and bunch of 14 eggs (attended by 
adult male and female), all from one hole. Eggs in 
early stages of development. Female contained large ova 
as in previous specimens.
