5 mi. N.W. of 1000 Palms, Riverside Co., Calif.
Actually we saw (and caught) 2
animals here by 1115, at which time
we left. By then we had captured the
following animals in this region:
Uma infonata - 7 (1ad Ø; 3ad ♀; 3 im ♂)
Cystophytus widigeni - 1 (ad ♀)
Phrynosoma platyhinso - 2 (1ad ♂; 1 ad ♀)
This made a total of 10 caught in
this region this morning.
5 mi. W. of Glamis, Imperial Co., Calif.
We reached the Glamis area at
1630 and began to collect animals
immediately. We drove up & down the
road collecting on it for some time.
Then we parked the car and collected
in the sand dunes. We collected until
1845 in this manner (sundown ~ 1820,
moonrise ~ 1840). Then we might
collected along the road until 2230.
We travelled 256 miles during the day.
In this area we collected the
following today:
Uma notata - 14 (7 ad. ♂; 3ad ♀; 2 im ♂; 2 im ♀)
Phrynosoma micelli - 1 (ad ♀)
Coleonyx variegatus - 9 (4ad ♂; 4ad ♀; 1im ♂)
Crotalus cerastes - 1 (ad ♂)
For the day, then, we caught 35 animals
(10 near 1000 Palms, 25 near Glamis).
The maximum temp. today was 104°F., the
minimum temp. tonight was 74°F.
