Mayhew 1959 Journal 84. Aug. 19 5 mi. W. of Glamis, Imperial Co., Calif. We arose at 0615. Soil samples were collected from 0800 to 0815 while the other two (Frank & Dave) began looking for lizards at 0800. We quit collecting in the dunes at 1045, just after Frank pulled a sidewinder out of its hole with his bare hands. A lizard had just run into the hole and its tail still protruded from the entrance. Frank grabbed through the sand from above & came up with the sidewinder -lizard in its mouth. The lizard had been bitten by the snake and died within a minute. Luckily neither fang had hit Frank's hand, so he was unharmed, but a bit shaken. The weather was so pleasant today we found several lizards resting on the pavement as we drove toward the Coachella Canal. Therefore, we collected all the way to the canal, which we reached at 1200. We ate lunch, then left the canal at 1300. We stopped between the canal and looked for animals from 1300 to 1430, but found very few animals active at this time. The following animals were cought this morning & early afternoon: Uma notata - 27 (10 ad ?, 2 ad ?; 7 im. ?; 8 im. ?) Urosaurus graciosa - 4 (3 ad. ?; 1 ?) Crotalus cerastes - 1 (ad ?)
