Ruthe Stephen 1971 22 Reptile Collecting Trip May 15 Tramway Canyon Palm Springs, Riverside Co, Ca. 0830-1220 Spent the morning collecting the lower portion of the north-facing canyon wall. By 1100 I TR 1459-60 had gotten 2 Strptosaurus mearnsi'. +1461-62 Both were on massive vertical rock faces but were noosed from 1-1½" wide vertical cracks in the granite rock. The sky is hazy but without clouds. One was a big adult ♂; the other was also a male but smaller though probably also adult. RCS also caught 1461-62 2 Strptosaurus which he noosed from the rock faces. He took several pictures of banded rock lizards on their natural backgrounds using his 300mm tele- photo lens. I found it best to work from about the lizards when trying to got them to go into cracks. If one works on them from below I find that they just keep on going up and up from rock to rock staying just out of range. At about 0900 RCS found a 1463 Crotalus mitchelli out sunning which he noosed. I was around 3' long and nicely marked. The spot was on about 15° of slope and 40' above the
