Mayhew 1963 Journal 7. Mar. 15 Glamis area, Imperial Co., Calif. Kenneth Evans, Herbert Brown and I left UCR at 1730. We reached the Highline Canal at 2030 and immediately began night collecting. However, no animals were seen by 21 20 (16 miles), so we quit for the night. The air temperature was quite low (approx. 15°C) during this period. Mar. 16 We arose at 0745 and ate breakfast. We reached the Coachella Canal at 0855 and began looking for Phrynosoma calli to no avail. We found 2 DOR, but no live animals. We looked until 1345 without success. The air was cool & the sky was 100% overcast much of the time, so I wasn't surprised we didn't see any lizards. After lunch we looked for Uma notata & Urosaurus gracilis in the dunes. Quite a few Urosaurus were found, but not many Uma were seen. We quit looking at 1745. After we ate, we made one pass through the area, looking for Colonyx. However, the cloud cover, cool temp. & slight breeze still persisted, so we didn't find any. It appeared as though it would rain during the night, so we headed back for
