Mayhew 1961 Journal 65. Aug. 14 Palm Springs area, Riverside Co., Calif. Walt Moberly & I left UCR at 0525. We looked for Uma inornata in Palm Springs Panorama from 0705 to 0915. Several animals (adults and young) were captured. These were the first young of the year that we have seen in 1961 for this species. Then we drove to Palm Desert to look for Diposaurus dorsalis. Cal & Ruth De Witt were catching Dipsosaureus to send back to Michigan the next day with Bob Lesiewski at the same spot. There were a great many lizards at this location (south of the A + W root beer stand). We looked for Diposaurus from 0930 to 1200. The weather was fairly cool that day, so lizards were still active when we left. We reached Dale Dry Lake in time to look for Uma scoparia from 1555 to 1745. One adult Uma was taken from one of the traps. No Chionactis in any of the traps this time. Very few Uma were seen running about this evening. Maximum temp. today was 102° F. Minimum temp. tonight was 68° F. At approximately 2300 it began to rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning. This continued until
