J. Rodgers 137 Mrs. Vert. Zool., Univ. Calif, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. June 12, 1938 hunted reptiles while Dave Johnson looked for bat caves. We found and collected Diposaurus and Sauromalus there. After hunting there for an hour or so, we turned west and continued nearly to Granite mountains. There we turned north and camped on the highest point where road passes over the pass between the Granite and the Providence mountains. The next morning, we hunted there; at 12:40 we left for Amboy. We had supper at Mojave, and camped that night (night of June 11) on the west side of Shacklepi Pass, just below the loop in the railroad. This morning, after an hour's hunting there we drove home. The melting snows in the Sierra Nevada had raised the water the San Joaquin River so high that the road up the valley was blocked somewhere southeast of Tracy. We had to turn west through Loo Bans, and from there north to Tracy. Where we crossed the San Joaquin River near Loo Bans, the water was within two or four inches of flooding the pavement. We arrived in Berkeley about 6:30 the evening.
