Some sites were logged over areas with many fallen logs; some were patches of driftwood along the Columbia River of the sort that would be crawling with lizards if they were in California. The only site at which lizards were found consisted of rockslide. Perhaps the habitat occupied by Genusbonotus here is more restricted than it is farther north (?). Paradise Point State Park to Eel Creek Campground, Oregon Dunes Natl. Rec. Area, Oregon 17 July Got an early start this morning (0720). We got onto I-5 + drove S to Eugene, then W on 126 to Florence, then S on 101 past Coos Bay to Bullards Beach State Park which we reached ca. 1200. We had lunch and then spent some time turning logs behind the dunes in an area which, had it been in California, I would have said should have been crawling with Genusbonotus. We found none. Perhaps beaches are not favored habitats this far north; I find this hard to believe because the museum localities around here indicate shore locations. After trying a couple of other beaches in the vicinity of Bandon and after unsuccessfully asking after a naturalist at the local information center, we decided to look at the area
