Mayhew 1963 Journal 24. May 20 Blue Ridge, Los Angeles Co., Calif. Shirley Hill & I left UCR at 0925 to get a sample of Sceloporus graciosa for the reproductive cycle investigation.

We might collected from 1920 to 2300 ( miles), and saw 5 Chionactis occipitalis, 1 Crotalus cerastes as well as numerous Colonyx variegatus. We collected only Colonyx. We also found an immature of Phrynosoma m'celli on the road at 2125. As we had collected past that point,
