Mayhew 1961 Journal 66. Aug. 15 Dale Dry Lake, San Bernardino Co., Cal't. about 0400. I slept in the front seat of the carry-all & Walt slept in the second seat. We arose at 0715 & finished checking the traps while we waited for the weather to warm up sufficiently for lizards to get active. We finally collected enough adult Uma for a sample, so we left for home at 1300. We checked the rain gauge at Mrs. Joe De Salliera on the way (4.7 miles from soil sampling site). We found 0.86 inches of rain fell this morning & last night. We learned that 29 Palma had received over 2 inches of rain in 4 hours. The soil was moist to a depth of 10 inches at De Salliera. We reached UCR at 1600 after a total trip of 268 miles. We brought back 119 animals of 4 species: Urosaurus graciosa - 1 (Dale) Uma scoparia - 59 (18 adult, 41 young) (immature) Uma inornata - 18 (11 adult, 7 young) Dipsosaurus dorsalis - 41 (1-Dale; 2-Palm Springs; 38-Palm Desert [18 ad, 8 ad?, 11 immature, 1 juvenile]). Some of the young will be kept in the laboratory (the smallest ones), but the remainder will be toe-clipped, measured & returned to Dale & "Granddaddy Dune";
