Sept. 8
UCR, Riverside Co., Calif.
This morning I shipped the
following animals to Calvin De Witt
at the University of Michigan:
1 Uma insignata 1 Urosaurus graciosa
1 Uma notata
1 Uma scoparia
1 Callisaurus draconoides
1 Phrynosoma coronatum
1 Phrynosoma m'calli
These are animals I promised him
earlier for an experiment he is
conducting. Unfortunately, these
are all iguanids, but perhaps
I can send some specimens of
other families later.
Sept. 11
Glamis area, Imperial Co., Calif.
Walt Mobely & I left UCR at
1200 for Glamis as our first stop
on the September collecting trip. We
reached the Alilne Canal east of
Brawley at 1540 and immediately
began looking for Phrynosoma m'calli
along the road. At this time the
air temp. (36°) was 38.8°C. There was
no wind, but it was about 30% over-
cast (thunderheads over the Colorado
River & Sierra Juarez). We made one
pass through to the Coachella Canal
before sundown. We quit at 1750
(sundown at 1755).
