Mayhew 1958 Oct. 25 Stoddard Valley, San Bernardino Co., Calif. area today with a report that heavy rains this past week have made deep gullies in the road to Stoddard Well, as well as cover some of the paved road from Barstow to Lucerne Valley with dirt. She found one of the Desert tortoises we marked and released last May in this area. It was 200-300 yards away from the release point, and was digging a burrow. The 1st scale to the left of the head was the one that was marked. This would make it # 3 . No lizards were seen there. Oct. 30 5 mi. W. of Glamis, Imperial Co., Calif.
