Camp Curry, Yosemite National Park,
Mariposa Co., Calif. .... Though
some search made under
logs and other forest debris
no herps seen. Many numerous
granite boulders in area seemingly
ideal for Sceloporus; but none
seen. Weather: warm to hot.
29 June While fishing in area just up-
stream from yesterday captured
one small Thamnophis, saw
one large snake swimming
in creek, thought to be a
Pituophis though may possibly
be a very large T. o. couchii?
Much searching in what appeared
perfect situations revealed no
herps. One Sceloporus seen
on granite boulders. Stebbins
thinks nice series of Sceloporus
might be taken in Tenaya
Canyon ranging from S. o. occid-
entalis and S. o. taylori.
1 July During recreational hike to Vernal
Falls captured two of three
Sceloporus seen. All S. g. graciosus
and present only in spots apparently
