Mayhew 1961 Journal 23. April 15 Glamis area, Imperial Co., Calif. after lunch we looked at birds on & around the lake. They were not nearly as abundant as in the past, after this we drove on toward Glamis, collecting along the road as we drove. We picked up 5 Phrynosoma micellii between the Highline & Coachella Canals and saw 4 dead ones on the road. One car patrolled the road while the rest ate, then the other cars began night collecting also. At least one car was on the road somewhere between the Ogilby-Blythe road and the Highline Canal from 1640 to 0035. No animals were seen on the road between 1700 and 1855. Then Celenyze variegatus became quite common until about 2200. Only a few were seen after that time. We saw 2 dead on the road and collected 46 live ones. April 16 We arose at 0645 & ate breakfast. We began looking for lizards (1/2 the class in the dunes, the other 1/2 on the road in the pick-up) at 0830 and continued until 1300. After eating lunch in Glamis, we drove toward Brawley, collecting 2 Dipsoauma dorsalis, 1 Crotaphytus wistigeni, & 1 Phrynosoma micelli along the way. We returned to UCR via Warner's Hot Springs, reaching
