S.R. MOON 1987 Species Account Desert Night Lizard (Xantusia vigilis) 20 May Two canyons west of Blind Spring, Providence Mountains, San Bernardino co., CA. T10N R14E Sec 29 ne'1/4. elev. ~ 1600 m. One lizard caught in a pitfall trap in a narrow, rocky canyon with dense growth of catchew, cholla, mormontea, desert almond, and other shrubs. This is just below the lower limit of piñon-juniper woodland in this canyon. The trap was in the canyon just below the cliffs where the spring begins but the surface moisture does not come down this far from the spring. 29 May Vulcar mine area, Providence Mountains, San Bernardino co., CA. T10N R13E Sec 25 sw'1/4. elev. ~ 1200 m. I found one night lizard under a rock below a large boulder that had a wood- cat nest under it and partly under the trza rock where the lizard was. Habitat - rocky hillside along a rocky wash channel grown to Yucca, catchlaw, Desert Almond, & various other shrubs. Catalog #106
