Mayhew 1963 April 8 Journal 12. Glamis area, Imperial Co., Calif. Look for Uma notata & Urosaunus graciosa. We looked for them until 1730. Not many Uma were seen (only hell a dozen), but we were able to catch 9 Urosaunus during this period. In this wind, they tended to stay down in the denser portions of the vegetation, but thy were above the ground. No Dipsoauna dorsalis or Callisaurus draconoides were seen today, presumably because of the wind. The air temp. was in the high 80's or low 70's (F). We began to night collect at 1845. We made a complete trip from the Highline Canal to Glamis & back (28mi.) We collected 1 Chiroactis occipitalis, 1 young Phyllorhychus decutatus, and 9 Colonyx variegatus, in spite of the fairly strong wind & almost 100% overcast. We stopped at 2100, we drove 70 miles today. April 9 We arose at 0700 and ate breakfast. The wind was still blowing & the sky was completely overcast, so we headed for home at 0800. We returned home by way of Highway 78 & Warner Hot Springs. We drove 189 miles today, & a total of 865 miles on the entire trip. We reached UCR at 1440.
