Mayhew 1960 Feb. 16 Glamis area, Imperial Co., Calif. that we kept. We caught several others, took their temperatures, & released them. The animals retained were: Uma notata - 14 (7 ad m; 1 imm. m; 2 ad f; 4 imm. f) Urosaurus graciosa - 7 (5 ad m; 2 ad f) Both of these species were fairly abundant today, particularly after 1300. Several adult Uma notata were caught under rocks that we felt we had uncovered with our probing. They were quite cool & made little or no effort to escape. The large number of reptile tracks in the sand indicated that they are becoming quite active again. A very strong wind has blown through the area since our last trip (Dune Crest Drive is completely covered with sand in two places - some spots as deeply as 2 ft.), so the reptile tracks are fairly new. We left the collecting area at 1540, but stopped several times before reaching Brawly to look at wildflowers. (Incidentally, only 2 very ragged blossoms were found on Helianthus tephrodes this month. Many new plants of this species are coming up now.) Some of the species found in bloom are: Oenothera claviformis Abronia villosa Dittraya californica Larea divaricata Hesperocallis undulata Palafolia linearis
