We began night collecting at 1820 & continued to 2200 (46 miles). Several Coleonyx variegatus and one adult Crotalus cerastes were found on the road. We drove 219 miles today. Maximum temp. today was 105° F, minimum temp. tonight was 82° F. Sept. 10 We arose at 0650 & ate breakfast. We began looking for lizards at 0755. We collected lizards until 1030.

I mounted it in his back yard. Then we drove north through Joshua Tree Nat'l. Monument. Smoke Tree Wash had a flash flood go through as we crossed it. It had been flowing a little before
