Mayhew 1959 Journal Nov. 9 Palm Springs, Riverside Co., Calif. base of a creosote bush. I stopped and captured this animal, which was the only [illegible] I saw in the area. I drove NW of Palm Springs looking for potentially better collecting sites. along highway 111, 3 miles west of Palm Springs + 3 miles south of Whitewater, I found some rather extensive accretion dunes at the base of a hill along the San Gorgonio River channel. I took my soil sample (station III) at this spot. There were a few more lizard tracks than at the previous site, but I saw no lizards while I was there. I was in this area from 1100 to 1200. I spent most of the rest of the day driving around that portion of the Coachella Valley looking for likely collecting sites for next spring. I returned to UCR at 1740 after a trip of 190 miles. Nov. 13 Dale Dry Lake, San Bernardino Co., Calif. Tonight at 2020 Frank Aubrey, John Ellis & I left UCR for this collecting site. We arrived at 2230 and set up camp. The minimum temp. tonight was +7°F. The trip was 115 miles long. Nov. 14 We arose at 0800 and ate breakfast. We didn't begin to look for lizards until 1010 because of the low temperatures. We (first lizard seen at 1100)
