Journal 10. Mayhew 1962 Apr. 14 Glamis area, Imperial Co., Calif. collecting at 0700. Then we changed groups of students at 0900. We quit for the morning at 1100. After goning to Shirley Hill's home in El Centro for ice cream during the hot part of the day, we returned to our respective collecting area at 1715, working there until sundown. We had planned to night collect, but the Imperial Valley Dune Buggy Assoc. moved into our campsite (Osborne Park) so we camped 1 mile east of Glamis. Four additional Coleonyx variegatus were toe-clipped & released as we drove to our campsite. Min. temp. tonight -63°F. Apr. 15 We arose at 0630 & ate breakfast. Then I showed the class where we found Scaphiopus couchii last fall. We all collected along the road as we left the area. However, this was so late, Diposaurus, Callisaurus, & Cnemidophorus tigris were the only animals still active. A brief stop was made at Raver Lake as we started home. We returned by way of Warner's Hot Springs. The wildflowers were beautiful around Sage. We reached UCR at 1905 after a trip of approximately 515 miles.
