Sept. 14
5 mi. N.W. of 1000 Palms, Riverside Co., Calif.
We stopped for a while at granddaddy Dune to get our last soil sample, & try to catch some Uma inornata. There were numerous tracks about, but we saw very few lizards. We were able to capture 5 of them before we left the area at 1630. We reached UCR at 1735,
after driving 611 miles this trip.
We brought back 122 reptiles of 11 species, as follows (3 amphibians, 1 species):
Dipsosaurus dorsalis - 7 (imm)
Uma inornata - 5 (2 ad, 3 imm)
Uma notata - 42 (9 ad, 33 imm)
Uma scoparia - 26 (10 ad, 16 imm)
Phrynosoma m'calli - 13 (6 ad, 7 imm)
Phrynosoma platyrhinos - 2 (1 ad, 1 imm)
Urosaurus gracilis - 13 (all ad)
Callisaurus draconoides - 3 (all ad)
Uta stansburiana - 1 (ad)
Cnemidophorus tigris - 1 (ad)
Colonyx variegatus - 9 (all ad)
Scaphiopus couchii - 3 (all ad)
Rudy Reival positively identified the amphibians caught near Glamis as Scaphiopus couchii. He says they have never been reported in Calif. before. Arizona is the nearest they have been found previously,
