Mayhew 1960 Journal 9. Feb. 23 Palm Springs area, Riverside Co., Calif. to Palm Springs. We reached the collecting site at 1340. After obtaining the soil samples, we looked around for Uma insignata. Two juvenals were seen, but no immatures or adults. A few Uma tracks were visible, but none of animals of any large size. The weather was quite cool while we were there (air temp.

Human tracks, as well as bird & small mammal tracks were seen, so the reptiles probably haven't been active in any numbers since the last wind storm in the area. We returned to UCR at 1515, after a trip of 156 miles. Feb. 25 Riverside area, Riverside Co., Calif. Frank Aubrey & I left UCR at 1055 to look for Sceloporus orcutti and Sceloporus occidentalis. We stopped first in the Bernasconi Hills (2 miles W. of Lakeview) to look for animals. We looked from 1120 to 1220 without seeing a trace of a lizard. The air temp.(30°) at this time was 15.8°C. The sky began to cloud over & a southerly breeze sprang up, causing the temp. to drop. The remainder of the afternoon was spent looking for likely collecting areas for these
