Mayhew 1959 Journal 6. Jan. 25 Colorado Desert, Riverside Co., Calif. and started looking for lizards, even though the temp. indicated that probably more would be out. We didn't find a trace of any lizards, so we returned to the car to wait until the temp. was higher. This occured at 1000. However, we decided to investigate the paved road that runs along the power line between 1000 Palms and Granddaddy Dune. It seems to offer good possibilities for night collecting later in the season. There is a branch of the road that leaves the power line and goes to near the top of that range of hills. This road is 2.7 miles long and reaches an altitude of 1550 ft. There is a wide area at the top on which to park. At this location the only perennial vegetation to be seen is some Frasneria dumosa and a few very small Larrea diviricata. The rest of the area is covered with the dried remains of last year's annuals - mainly Sarcasa canescens. At this point we saw or captured several Uta stansburiana, 1 Callisaurus draconides jewral, + 1 Cnemidophorus tigris adult. We returned to Granddaddy Dune at 1315 and began looking for Uma again.
