Salt 1947 Journal May 2. Indio - Palm Canyon - Andreas Canyon, - Riverside Co., Cely slope of Mt. San. Jacinto. I estimate the elevation at 1000'. Found the canyon well filed with trees. mostly alders, catclaw, mesquite, and cottonwoods. There is a stream about 4' wide and average 1' deep flowing down the canyon. The banks and beds of the stream are well shaded and considerably cooler than the rocky hillides on each side. Walked up the stream about 1/2 mi from the parking place. Found quantities of at least 7 adult Rana boylii on the rocks in the stream. They were clinging to the rocks just above the water line or sitting up on the tops. Time of day, 1:00 PM. Air temp in shade about 104° F. Also caught a single Hyla arenicolor in same situation. Also saw one Brown Towhee by (Abert?) parking lot at base of canyon. Drove to Palm Springs. 1 Bufo punctatus captured at Cottonwood Springs died and spoiled and was thrown away. Sceloporus magister also died but I kept it hoping to save it. Drove home to R.T.
