Mayhew 1961 Journal 60. July 23 Glamis area, Imperial Co., Calif. Coleonyx variegatus - 4 (1 juvenile) Urosaurus graciosus - 1 Cnemidophorus tigris - 1 Crotaphytus wislizeni - 1 This makes 51 animals of 8 species added to our research collection. We saw a total of 13 juvenile Callisaurus draconoides and 3 juvenile Phrynosoma m'callii. I saw 2 juvenile reptiles run across the road in front of the carry-all in the dunes. However, it was rather late, so I couldn't be sure if they were young Uma notata or not. None were seen during our trips to the dunes during daylight hours, however, I am frankly amazed at the number of Phrynosoma m'callii that have been collected along that 7 mile stretch of road between the two canals. I know of at least 66 animals (live) that have been collected there by us the past two months. We have now collected 85 (live) of this species on that part of the road in 1961. Tracks in the sand beside the road indicate there are lots of animals left. No place this trip!
