Sept. 10 Barton Flats area, San Bernardino Co., Calif.
to the cabins along the south fork
at about 6500 feet elevation. Only one
lizard was seen at this spot, but
the glimpse I had was so short I
couldn't identify it. We captured one
young of the year (S. gracilis) on
the road near Jenkins Lake (~7000').
We left this area at 1450, and
reached Riverside at 1510.
Sept. 18 Mojave Desert, Calif.
This morning at 0430 Dee Munro,
Frank Aubry, Fritz Zaebot, Mark Kohn
and I left on a 3-day collecting trip.
We drove first to Hesperia, San
Bernardino Co., Calif., arriving about 0550.
At that time the air temp. was 16.4°C.
We caught Xantusia vigilis, Uta stans-
buriana, Sceloporus occidentalis, and
Sceloporus magister in this area. In
Stoddard Valley, north of Lucerne
Valley, summer rains had produced
a colorful carpet of annual flowers
that were in bloom. In this location
we caught Crotaphytus wislizeni, Calli-
saurus draconoides, Uta stansburiana,
& Cnemidophorus tigris. We then drove
through Barstow to sand dunes a mile
north of Newberry. We reached Newberry
at 1500. At that time the air temp.
was 36.8°C, and soil surface temp.
