Also - this locality was supposed to be in Modoc Co. It was actually across the border in Oregon. Either the locality was inaccurate or mistaken because there is no way lizards would live there. I also spent large amounts of time the last few days working on a mechanical problem with my car. Collected 9 Bufos boreas at Lily Lake, just 5 of the Oregon border after dark on 22 July. Warner Mtns. to Lassen Nat'l Forest, Calif. 23 July Left the Warner Mtns this morning and took the following route: S on 395 to Susanville, then E on 36 to Chester, then S on 89 to get W dirt road to Butte Meadows.
