Palm Springs area, Riverside Co., Calif.
We looked for lizards from then to
1500, but saw very few. After leaving
the Panorama, we went to the Ranch
Country Club by way of Vista Chino.
We captured 6 more Uma inornata and
one adult Dipsosaurus dorsalis. This
is the first adult of this species that
we have captured in October. Usually
all the adults are hibernating by
this time. We saw tracks of several
young Dipsosaurs, but we could find
no young animals of this species.
We returned to UCR at 1610 after a
trip of 119 miles today. We caught a
total of [illegible] Uma inornata, 7 of which
were released, and 1 Dipsosaurus dorsalis.
We saw 2 Callisaurus draconoides, but
were unable to capture either of
them.

Walt Mobely & I left UCR at 0720
for our monthly collecting trip. We
looked for lizards from 0920 to
1230 in the vicinity of the old pump
house about 2 miles west of the Iron
Age Mine Road. Adult animals were
reasonably abundant in this location.
However, young animals were very
scarce - I saw one juvenile on

scorpia)
