W. Riemer 1949 Journal 30 June Bryce Canyon to Zion Nat'l Park, Washington Co., Utah looking for Gerrhonotus c. utahensis. Got first Phrynosoma douglasii but no luck on Gerrhonotus though thick oak groves with much leaf litter and moist substrate looked ideal. Picked up small T. elegans on trip back to main highway. N Glendale collected series of S. gracilis and undulatus. Both appear to be inhabiting same niche. (See gracilis account this date). Skinks also seen, and eggs of species (?) taken but could not capture skinks and identity uncertain. Arrived at Zion about 1915 where camped for night. 1 July Zion Park to St. George, Washington Co., Utah Broke camp 1015. S D Springdale collected for several hours, taking Bufo compactilis series, many Bufo pennatatus (?) tadpoles and eggs, Scaphiopous hammondii lawson, Utla stansburiana, Crotaphytus collaris, Crenidophorus (seen only), Sceloporus undulatus and magister. Continued in afternoon to Saint George where washed clothes and wrote notes on many of amphibians which had died in intense heat of day. Camped for night out of town.
