Feb. 20
Palm Springs, Riverside Co., Calif.
The air temp (1 meter) varied from 24.4°C
(1010) to 28.0°C (1400). We left the
area at 1530 and returned to UCR.
We reached UCR at 1630 after a trip
of 151 miles.
Feb. 22
Dale Dry Lake, San Bernardino Co., Calif.
Herbert Brown, Herta Caylor, Susan
Larish, Saul Frommer & I left
UCR at 0710, and reached Dale at
0920. The wind was blowing sand
across the road when we arrived
(~ 15 mph), and continued to blow the
rest of the day. We found some
Uma scoparia in spite of the wind
and rather low temperature. We
captured several animals while they
were buried beneath the sand. We
looked for animals until 1430, but
as we had found none for some time
before this, I felt the lizards were
through for the day. The soil was
wet just beneath the surface down
to about 12 inches. Lots of annulals
are beginning to emerge. I was
pleased to see a number of
Hesperocallis through the ground
at Dale. We left the area at
1500 and reached UCR at 1800, after
a trip of 231 miles.
