Mayhew 1961 Journal 82. Sept. 22 UCR, Riverside Co., Calif. Today I set up some lizard experiments that I plan to follow this winter in the laboratory. I also placed some animals in outdoor cage #2, and these animals will be followed through the next breeding season. I hope some of these outdoor animals (Uma insinata, U. notata & U. scoparia) will successfully produce young in the outdoor cage. I shall be running 3 experiments in the lab. Cages 1 & 2 contain Phrynosoma m'calli and 1 Phrynosoma platyrhinoe.

The arrangement of animals in the other experiments also are described in the field notes of the species involved (Dipsozaurus dorsalis, Uma insinata, U. notata, & U. scoparia).
