Mayhew 1963 Journal 16. April 12 Dale Lake, San Bernardino Co., Calif. and blooming. I don't know why we didn't see more reptiles. There were many more to be seen last month than this month. We returned to UCR at 1845 after driving 156 miles today, +329 miles for the entire trip. We captured the following animals during the entire trip: Uma inornata - 20 Phrynosoma mcalli - 1 Diposaurus dorsalis - 13 Uma scoparia - 20 Total = 54 April 16 Mira Loma area, Riverside Co., Calif. Between 1230 + 1300 today I released an additional 87 Uma spp. on 4 dunes. This makes a total of 142 Uma released now on 5 different dunes. (U. scoparia have been released on dune #1, 2, & 5). The weather was slightly overcast, & the air temp. was rather cool. The rain Sunday has packed the sand pretty well, so these lizards were not able to bury very well yet. Dune #5, which I used for the first time today, is about 1/4 mi. north of Riverside Ave. on Haven ave. This is over 1/4 mi. NW of Dune #4, & approximately 1/2 mi.
