In answer to this question, the Larch Mtn Salamder is Plethodon
larselli. It is endemic to the Lower Columbia River Gorge,
encompassing parts of Skamania County in Washington, and Hood and
Multnomah Counties in Oregon. 

The other question, about "So Excellent a Fishe", the book is by
Archie Carr and concerns sea turtles. Nice man.
