Mayhew 1963 Journal 15. April 12 Dale Lake, San Bernardino Co., Calif. however, were captured after this time. They were not seen on the surface after 1525, though. We looked for lizards from 0700 to 1600. During this period we captured 20 Uma scoparia and 11 Dipsoaurus dorsalis. These were the only kinds of lizards seen today. (One Crotalus cerastes was seen at the entrance to a hole beneath Larrea diviricata at 1315.) In addition to the captured animals, we saw 4 Uma scoparia & 3 Dipsoaurus dorsalis. There were relatively few tracks visible in most of the places we looked, indicating not many lizards are still in the area, or at least aren't active yet. However, the weather today was almost ideal until about 1430. Lots of animals have germinated this spring, but most of them are blooming while they are still rather small. For example, most of the Arothera deltoides are blooming while they are less than 4 inches high. Lots of Afonia willowae has bloomed, but usually only 1 blossom per plant. A great deal of Secoria cavescena is up, but not blooming yet. Some Palsoxia linearis is present
