Mayhew 1963 Journal 45. Oct. 14 Glamis area, Imperial Co., Calif. which had buried beneath an ironwood tree, also appeared to have abandoned its site after we left last trip. Consequently, we did not find a single one of the 5 toads we tried to dig up. We then showed Rudy the site 16 mi. N.E. of Glamis where we had found both S. couchi and Bufo penetatus. There was no water standing at any of the sites we investigated. We returned to UCR at 1700 after a trip of 402 miles. Oct. 18 at 0030 I received a phone call from Ike (Dwight) Harris that it was raining in Glamis. Peter Allen, Dennis Miller & I left UCR at 0830 and picked up Lloyd Tevis on the way. We learned that Glamis had received 0.5 inch before we arrived. We looked for Scaphiopus couchi, and for places where they would be likely to be found all afternoon and evening (see field notes for S. couchi, pp. 19- for details). The only S. couchi found that day or night was a sub-adult ♀ that was 16 mi. N.E. of Glamis. One adult Bufo penetatus was seen 6 mi. E. of Glamis. Both were found at night 0.12" of rain fell today.
