FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, I KEEP THINKING THAT A SURVEY OF THE UNUK RIVER
(e.g., Lake Creek) IS LONG OVERDUE, ESP. GIVEN THE CANADIANS NOW TALKING
OF A BIG MINING OPERATION UPRIVER. COULD BE SOME LONG-TOED SALAMANDERS
AND OTHER INTERESTING THINGS IN THIS DRAINAGE.

Thanks Joshua, I agree with your speculation. I also found one
specimen at the Frog Pond near Ketchikan in 2003 that we handled and
held in a terrarium, but my wife and daughter released it at the same
location before I could photograph or measure it. Yours is a likely
scenario in my estimation. The specimen I have in hand was found on a
pallet sitting on a barge in Ketchikan and most likely originated here
although the barge had also been at the south end of POW within the
same week. Thanks for including me, Boyd

I collected two organismal vouchers from the Ward Lake area in 2010
along with several photographic vouchers. These were placed in the
University of Alaska Museum (UAM) and were recently submitted to the
Herp Reviews Geographic Range section. I have not found any other
museum vouchers from Revilla. Given the phenotypic differences and the
distance between other populations, Bradford and I have theorized that
an egg mass was released at Frog Pond alongside of the Pacific Chorus
Frogs.

HERE'S A COPY OF THOMPSON RUSSELL PAPER.
FYI: I worked out of Ketchikan this summer and Boyd Porter and
Kris Larson (both ADFG) mentioned long-toed salamanders on Revilla
Island. That right, Boyd? This would be NEW and very interesting.
Boyd also has a specimen in ETOH taken, if I remember right, from
a barge at Craig.
Also of interest was Kris seeing a water shrew on Revilla, the
second sighting report of this species that I know of for the
island (the only other island we know they occur is Wrangel).

I don't know if it was published but the last reference cited
was 2004 and I received it from the authors which were listed
as [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> and
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> . Anyway it would
be post 2004 -more like 2005-2007? Do you have contact with
Lance Lerum or an e-mail for him? I am looking for my
Ambystoma poster I sent up to the 1st AK Herp meeting to him. BRN

Hi Bradford,
That manuscript you sent along – where was that published (if
it was)? When does it date to?
Thanks,
