Thus, we caught 37 animals in the

22 mi. E. of 29 Palms, San Bernardino Co., Calif.
The road from Dale Dry Lake to the
San Bernardino - Riverside county line
has just been paved (finished this
month), so we drove to the end of
the pavement and back to station IV.
Two Coleonyx variegatus or were collected
near the county line, but no other
reptiles were seen. We quit for the
night at 2040. There had been a
heavy rain in this area last Monday
(Aug. 17), and there were many spots
where the water had flooded over
the road. The minimum temp. tonight was 58°F.
The total number of animals collected
today was 39, as follows:
Uma notata - 27 (10 ad ♂; 2 ad ♀; 7 im ♂; 8 im ♀)
Cristalus crastes - 1 (ad ♀)
Urosaurus graciosa - 4 (3 ad ♂; 1 ?)
Dipsoaunus dorsalis - 1 (ad ♀)
Callisaunis draconides - 4 (2 ad ♂; 1 ad ♀; 1 im ♀)
Coleonyx variegatus - 2 (ad ♂)
we drove 226 miles today.
