Davis 946 22. 1 mi. S. Atascadero, San Bernardino Co., Calif. May 12, 1946 Broke camp + packed the truck while Bob was writing a few notes prior to leaving this locality, I turned over a few loose boards lying under the oaks nearby & found a Ferboratherus multi-Carinatus which I gave to Bob. We then drove to Atascadero, and then turned W on U.S. 466 to Morro Bay. Stopped and looked for Euseatna eschscholtzii in a canyon 12 mi. ENE of junction of highways 466 and 1150, San Luis Obispo Co., Calif. I found two small specimens which I gave to Bob. These are evidently intergrades between the race north of the Salinas River and that found on the coast from Los Angeles South. We drove on to a locality - 5.6 mi. ENE of junction of highways 466 and 1, San Luis Obispo Co., Calif. where we noted a rather dense stand of yucca whipplei about 100' above the road on a rather steep S facing slope. We climbed to the yucca + uprooted numerous dead plants looking for Xan - tusia, but found none. Webber said that he had never taken this lizard on a slope, but always on a level site!
