Mayhew 1961 Oct. 7 Journal 86. Glamis area, Imperial Co., Calif. and I caught 6 Urosaurus graciosa and 4-5 Uma notata. Then, during the morning we combined to catch: 5 Phrynosoma m'calli 8 Urosaurus graciosa 2 Dipsosaurus dorsalis 56 Uma notata (4 species) The air temp (36°) when we quit (1300) was 35.4°C. The wind began to blow about 1200, and by the time Bill & I reached the Travelall, the wind was blowing rather hard. Then we drove to the S.P. railroad siding at Ruthven (5 miles south of Glamis) to check on a reported lake site near the dunes. This potential lake isn't nearly as nice as the one we visited ~ 5 miles north of Glamis last month. We caught 2 juv. Callisaurus draconodes & 1 adult of this species, as well as 1 ad. Uma notata at this site before the wind-blown sand chased us out of the area. We left this site at 1430, and returned to the road through the dunes. The sand was blowing hard by this time, but we saw a Uma notata in the open, so we stopped to catch it.
