At the time I did the project, Phrynosoma m'calli was
the third most abundant lizard in the area between Brawley
and the Algodons Dunes. Consequently, it did not seem
inappropriate to collect this number for such an investi-
gation. Little did we know that the population of this
species would drop to the present level.
At any rate, here is the information you requested:
Hatchlings Adults
Male Female Male Female
Snout-Vent length (mm)
N= 29 30 148 157
Range= 29-48 33-50 63-83 63-88
Mean- 37 40 73 75
Weight (grams)
N= 29 30 71 72
Range= 1.9-4.7 1.5-5.6 7.9-19.9 8.1-24.3
Mean= 3.0 3.2 13.1 14.2
