Mayhew 1959 Journal 112. Nov. 15 Glamis area, Imperial Co., Calif. We looked for lizards here from 1035 to 1310; took soil samples from 1310 to 1325; then looked for lizards until 1345. We caught a total of 18 animals today, 2 of which were released + one was kept for a little girl to take to school. Therefore, we had a sample of 15 for ourselves. Those captured were: Uma notata - 12 (1ad ?; 2ad ??; 2ad ?; 4im ??; 3 im ?) (released) Urosaurus graciosa - 3 (1ad ?; 2 ad ?) Coleonyx variegatus - 2 (1ad ?) (1im released) Cnemidophorus tigris - 1 (im) (for little girl) as we caught only 2 Uma scoparia (1ad ?; 1 ad ??) yesterday, we captured only 20 animals on the trip. There were many young Uma notata running around, but we didn't feel we needed any more of them, so we didn't attempt to capture them. There were lots of Uma notata tracks on the dunes, but by far the majority of them were made by young animals. We ate lunch from 1345 to 1420, then started for home at 1430. However, we stopped for nearly an hour between the Coachella Canal & Highline Canal to look at the annuals that are coming up there. The most numerous is Palafoxia linearis, the next most numerous at the moment is Pectis pepus.
