Mayhew 1959 Journal 1. Jan. 23 Colorado Desert, Riverside & Imperial C.S., Calif. This afternoon at 1355 Lee Munro & I left UCR, headed for the Algodona Dunes. At 1505 we stopped to see Lloyd Tervis at Rancho Mirage, and to collect some sand at his place for J.W. Newell. We left his place at 1610 and drove past our campsite in the dunes at about 1845. We drove on through Glanis to the Agilly - Palo Verde road. The 12 miles from Glanis to this road is now well paved. It should be terific for night collecting later in the season, but we didn't see any reptiles on it tonight. One kit fox was seen, however. We had a good look at it in the lights of the car. We pulled into our campsite at 2000. Jan. 24 Minimum temp. tonight - 41°F. We arose at 0900. After breakfast we drove to the top of the big dune where I took some pictures. At 0930 we saw the first lizards (Uma). We returned to our camp- site and began looking for lizards at 1000. The first large Uma was seen at 1020. At 1030 we took our soil samples at station II (depression between dunes). At 1100 we took soil samples from station I in the Yuma Dunes. This station is at the top of a large dune. A white stake was driver into the sand to mark each station location.
