1958
Dec. 20 Palm Desert, Riverside Co., Calif.
Rio del Sol Road on Clavey Lane
(just north of Whitewater River
channel), a dirt road to the left
leads away from Clavey Lane about
1 mile from Rio del Sol (Pabonino Drive
goes right at the same spot). By following
this dirt road 1½ miles, one reaches
the dunes. We returned to UCR from
Palm Desert, reaching UCR at 1640.
The entire trip covered 398 miles.
It was obvious that adult Urna
in both our collecting areas are
not at all active at this time of
year (at least, not this year). The
weather was as fine as one can expect
at this time of year, so if they are
even active at this time, one would
expect them to have been active
this time. The adult Urosaurus this
trip was a surprise, since we didn't
expect any of them to be active yet.
