Palm 1935 Mar. 26 Contd. Itinerary Paradise Spring to Drinkwater Spring. Left Paradise Spring about 11 AM, and had driven only a few hundred yds. down the road when a large Dipso- saurus dorsalis ran across the road and stopped under a Crossote Bush (Corilica). I shot it with the 410. We then continued via Garlic Spring and Bicycle Lake to Drinkwater Spring. This is at the base of a range of mountains - the Granite Mountains. The rather low hills back of the spring are covered with large granite boulders. Around the spring are many large (6-8 ft.) bushes of Corillea. The ground is covered with low annuals, mostly Amsinckia. Further out from the hill there is less annual herbage and more scattered, low-bushes of, Atriplex, Sarcobatus?, Ephedra and Corillea. Here in a sandy spot shot a Callisaurus ventralis and catched a Chrysozoma. On the rocks saw some kind of Sceloporus and many Uvas. Also got a snap-shot at a cottontail but missed. This place designated as Drinkwater Spring, T. 16 N., R. 4 E., San Bernardino Co., Calif.
