A. Good 1982 Journal Miracle Beach, BC to Beale Bay, Wash. (cont) 11 July (cont) Ferry back to the mainland and drove S on 99 through Vancouver to the US border. We then stopped in Blaine for supper and drove on to Beale Bay State Park where we camped. The park people I talked to know nothing about lizards. The naturalist at Miracle Beach made reference to the local alligator lizards as being somewhat melanistic. Their specimen may have been a bit dark, but the light was bad, so I couldn't say for sure. Beale Bay to Bainbridge Island, Washington 12 July Spent a frustrating day today - drove S on 5 to Seattle, then E to Bellevue where we drove along the shore of Lake Sammamish looking for a Cenchrus locality. The lake has been built up since the lizards were collected, so we unfortunately found no good areas. After lunch I decided to drive into Seattle to the University of Washington to talk to Ray Huey about likely spots. He (of course) was not there and neither were any graduate students who could help me. We then took the ferry in mid afternoon across Puget Sound to Bremerton and spent the rest of the day working our way N, eventually stopping for the night at Fay Bainbridge State Park on Bainbridge Is. The reason we crossed the sound was that there are many published records of lizards from various places on the Puget Sound Islands. However, most of the localities published are too inaccurate to be useful.
