Mayhew 1959 Journal 82. Aug. 14 Leland Creek, 5 mi. N. of Strawberry, Tuolumne Co., Calif. This morning at 0915 Milo Long & I began looking for lizards. We found them to be fairly abundant in the sunny areas above the creek and on a rocky slope nearby. We captured a total of 8 animals during the morning (3 Sceloporus occidentalis & 5 Sceloporus graciosus). We quit looking at 1240. Aug. 18 5 mi. N.W. of 1000 Palms, Riverside Co., Calif. This morning at 0455 Frank Aubrey, David Reuther & I left UCR on our monthly collecting trip to the Colorado & Mojave Deserts. We reached station III at 0615. Soil samples were obtained by 0645, then we began to look for lizards. The first lizard (a young one) was seen at 0650. It was Uma inornata. The sky was somewhat overcast & a strong wind was blowing, so animals didn't become active very early. Then it cleared up suddenly & became quite hot quickly. Consequently, the animals were active for a relatively short time this morning. Since few animals were to be seen here, we were afraid we might be thinning out the population too much. Therefore, at 0930 we went over to Ramon Road to collect. However, the area we used last year is so very dry we didn't expect to see very much.
