Mayhew 1961 Journal 93. Nov. 2 Val Verde, Riverside Co., Calif. journal S. orcutti. They were measured, their temperatures recorded, & they were brought back to be released beside LSB on the UCR campus. The air temp. (1 meter) varied from 19.0°C. (when I reached the site) to 17.2°C. (when I left). S. ocutti were seen at both air temp. I returned to UCR at 1530 (left Val Verde at 1515) after a trip of 30 miles. Nov. 3 UCR, Riverside Co., Calif. None of the Phrynosoma m'calli show any appreciable appetite any longer, in contrast to the 3 species of Uma + Dipsozaurus dorsalis that are being held in similar cages under similar conditions nearby. The Uma inornata in the 24 hour incubation cage were moved into the 24 hour growth cage with Dipsozaurus dorsalis & a few young Uma spp. Otherwise, I couldn't tell whether U. inornata laid any eggs or not. Temperature condition are very similar in the 2 cages (see below), & lights are on for 24 hours in both cages. Therefore, these animals should develop in the same manner. It also reduces the number of animals in the Uma cage now only 29 (15 U. notata, 14 U. scoparia).
