Mayhew 1960 Journal 47. May 26 Palm Springs area, Riverside Co., Calif. We left the area at 1500 to return to UCR, which we reached at 1550 after a trip of 101 miles. Animals kept today were: Una inornata - 14 (7♂; 7♀) Urosaurus graciosa - 1 (♀) Cnemidophorus tigris - 1 (♂) Dipsosaurus dorsalis - 15 (8♂, 7♀) Total - 31 June 9 Colorado Desert, Riverside & Imperial Co., Calif. Frank Aubrey, Walt Mobely, Ray Folwar, Dave Renthler and I left UCR at 1000 for our monthly collecting trip. We collected at Palm Springs for a while, as well as gathering 2 soil samples. After eating lunch we drove to the Glavis area and collected along the road (used car #240) until sundown. After eating dinner, we night collected from 2030 until 2400. One Crotalus cerastes was seen between the canals. Colonyx variegatus was the only other reptile species seen tonight. However, 2 miles east of Glavis, 10 kit foxes (Vulpes varegatus) were seen - 8 at one spot. all 8 could be seen at one time in the headlight. There may have been more than that at this spot, but this was all we could count with certainty. Two more were seen about a mile down
