uth, Stephen 1971 Reptile Collecting Trip 2 May 11 en route China Lake, Kern Co, Calif. The ground is moist. Just barely sprinkling. May 12 China Lake, Kern + San Bernardino Co., Calif. Spent the night at Bob and Kristine Berry's place at China Lake last night went out to Kristine's study area at Long Butte in the southern end of the Argus Range just inside San Bernar- dino Co. RCS and Kristine spent the morning observing behavior from one of the lookouts while I hiked over the ridge to hunt reptiles. My luck was very poor. From 0900 - 1230 all I was R 1390-1391 able to capture was 2 Cnemidophorus tigris 1392-1396 and 5 Uta stansburiana. I observed 1 large chuck which I did not attempt to collect as it was not far from the edge of the study area. I saw two collard lizards and numerous Uta which I was unable to capture. I worked the lower slope of the ridge and did not get down onto the flats. Creosote looks very lush here now and is in bloom. The slope was North facing and was around 30°.
