Mayhew 1961 Journal 2. Jan. 31 UCR campus, Riverside Co., Calif. Walt Moberly + I went up onto the hills at the south end of the campus to try to locate the marks we had placed on the rocks in 1958 to indicate the location of Sceloporus orcutti captures. We did this from 0930 to 1230, then from 1330 to 1630. We found all but 21 of the marks today (68 found). The weather was rather cool and overcast for much of the day. We saw 6 adult and 3 juvenile Sceloporus orcutti, two Sceloporus occidentalis adults and one Uta stansburiana adult. Walt caught an adult Lichanura melojuca on a rock. Feb. 2 Glamis area, Imperial Co., Calif. Walt Moberly, Bill Truesdall, + I left UCR at 1245 today for our monthly collecting trip (1st since October because my research grant has been spent). We stopped at Lloyd Tevis' to pick up the Sexpex hygrometer, then drove up Pines to Palma Highway to section 19 to get some pictures of Deep Canyon Station. The sky was overcast all day so no harsh shadows were present. Then we drove on to the Coachella Canal which we reached at 1928. At this time the air temp. (30') was 17.0°C. No wind was blowing but there were numerous clouds in the sky. We might- collected between the two canals and up to the big dune, but saw no live animals. One juvenile Phrynosoma oricelli was found near
