Oct. 24 Glamis area, Imperial Co., Calif.
as washy as the last time
we drove over it -- it must have been
graded in the meantime. We reached
Glamis at 1815 and began to right
collect immediately (we had been looking
all the way to Glamis, but had seen
nothing on the road). During the
evening we collected 10 Coleonyx
variegatus and 1 young Crotalus cerastes.
We camped for the night on top of
the big dune 3 miles west of Glamis
at 2045. The maximum temp. today
was 102°F, the minimum temp. tonight
was 74°F. We drove 202 miles today,
and caught 48 animals, as follows:
Uma scoparia-30(10ad ♂; ad ♀; 6 im ♂; 2im ♀; b-ad?♂; 1-ad?♀
Callisaurus draconoides -5 (3ad ♂ | ad?♂; 1ad ♀)
Crotaphytus wolidigi-1(ad ♂)
Crotalus cerastes -1(imm)
Coleonyx variegatus-10(7♂;3♀)
Uta stansburiana-1(ad. ♀)
(3 Uma scoparia given away:2 ♀, 1♂)
Oct. 25 We arose at 0800and ate breakfast. We
began to look for lizards at 0910. Tracks
& animals were very abundant. There is
no indication that Uma notata has begun to hibernate yet. A large number of newly hatched U. notata were running about (I was going to record the number seen, but they were so numerous I soon lost count.)
