Mayhew 1959 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.)
