We returned to UCP at 1845,
after taking a trip up into Deep
Canyon with Lloyd Tevis. The total
distance driven on the trip was 861 miles.
Two can (5 gal.) traps had been set
out the month before, one at Windy
Point, one near the Coachella Canal.
The animals found in these traps this
month were:

2 Chionactis occipitalis 2 Chionactis occipitalis
1 Uma inornata (ad ?) several scorpions
1 Callisaurus draconoides + beetles
1 dead Urosaurus graciosa
several scorpions + beetles
Upon our return, we placed the
following animals in the outdoor
cages to hold over the winter:
cage #1
Uma inornata - 22 (3 ad ?; 7ad ?; 1ad? ; 9 ad ?;
2 ?)
cage #2
Uma notata - 14 (5ad ?; 1ad ?; 4ad ? ; 4ad ? )
cage #3

The remainder of the animals either
were dissected or sent to Dr. Wm.
Dawson at the University of
Michigan. (16% were dissected)
