Weston 1946 Journal 2. June 30 June 30 - Quail Spring, Joshua Tree Natl. Mon., San Bernardino Co., Calif. we set out to find the spring. Following the narrow winding sandy road, we arrived at the spring at about 10:30 p.m. Bufo punctatus were singing from the edge of the pool and many bats were flitting by, drinking on each swoop down across the surface of the water. Four B. punctatus were caught, 3 by Wade, 1 by Bob (Dr. S.). Two others were seen en copulo but were not caught. WE then walked back to camp and were in bed by 11:15 p.m. The night was clear and quite cool. July 1 July 1 - We got up at 4:30 a.m. and began the day by eating breakfast. We had camped in front of a white wooden house. A small stone house was located about 800 +/- ft. up the road toward the spring. After eating we set out for the rock-covered slopes to the north. Thus the 3 of us spent until 8:30 looking for reptiles. Dr. S. caught 1 small chuckawalla. Nothing else was taken. At about 8:45 we were at the spring. There Dr. S. & Wade each took a quick dip. I didn't because of the swarms of bees drinking there. The spring has been walled up by at 4 ft rock and cement wall. along the lower side there is a cow watering trough. The enclosure itself is about 12+ ft square. At one corner (see sketch next page)
