Mayhew 1959 Journal 22. Feb. 18 Santa Rosa Mts., Riverside Co., Calif. watering holes. There was some excellent habitat for Uta meansi, but none were seen today, even though the weather was calm and clear. However, some Uta stansburiana were seen at 1215. No other reptiles were seen all day. There is a beautiful stand of native palms in a grove at the upper end of Cat Canyon. The canyon is little marked by the hand of man yet, although a number of “jackrabbit cabins” have been built around the mouth of the canyon. Later we hiked to an artificial pool in Cariizo Creek drainage that has been developed for bighorn. No reptiles were seen here at all. I returned to UCR at 1845 after a trip of 165 miles. Feb. 20 Dale Dry Lake, San Bernardino Co., Calif. This morning at 0730 Frank Aubry, Charles Filippini & I left UCR for this area. We reached the collection site at 0945, a distance of 108 miles from UCR, which I shall call Station IV for our soil sampling work. The actual soil sampling site is 600 feet N.E. of the intersection of the 29 Palms - Rice road (called Dale Road), the road through Dale Dry Lake past the chemical plant, and the road to the Iron Age Mine.
