.R. MOON Journal 56 6 may Goldstone Spring, Providence Mountains, San Bernardino co., CA. elev. ~1500m. lizard). I also checked five traps that were at another spring about '1/4 southeast of Goldstone Spring in a rocky canyon below burned out hillsides. In two traps along a small flowing stream in a sandy part of the wash I found a fence lizard and three skinks (one male, one female, one dead). In the puddles where the spring is I found two toads in amplexus; they took cover under the edge of a rock as I watched them. In two more traps above the spring I found only several beetles without lizard company. I hiked back down to the pipeline road where Bruce was waiting - he didn't find any spring lizards, only utahs. The hike & trap checking took 1 1/2 hours. For upper spring (species accounts: Gilbert skink; Western Fence Lizard; Red Spotted Toad.)
