Mayhew 1961 Journal 59. July 23 Glamis area, Imperial Co., Calif. We arose at 0545 and began to look for Phrynosoma m'calli at 0620. Our car caught 2 before we drove back to the big dune at 0730. We noosed several Uma notata (some for Rudy Ruibal, some for me), then began to patrol the road again. We caught 4 more Phrynosoma m'calli and picked up 1 that had been run over by a car recently. Then we looked for Dipsoaurus dorsalis, which were not at all numerous this morning. The sky was quite overcast (as it had been yesterday morning), so it was a bit cool for Dipsoaurus. We quit looking for animals at 1115, and left for home. We reached UCR at 1500 after driving 529 miles this weekend/(14 miles patrolling the road this morning). In addition to 1 Masticophis flagellum for Tony Roth & several (number unknown) Uma notata for Rudy Ruibal, we brought home the following animals: Phrynosoma m'calli - 27 (3 juvinal) + 1 dead Dipsoaurus dorsalis - 7 (1 immature) Uma notata - 6 (5?, 1♀) Callisaurus draconoides - 4 (1 juvenile)
