Mayhew 1964 Journal Sept. 4 Ocotillo Wells area, San Diego Co., Calif. We drove the road between Ocotillo Wells and the state park from 0730 to 1005, but found only 2 juvenile P. m'calli during this time. Lots of Callisaurus draconoides were seen during this period, however. As we were having such poor luck here, I decided to drive to Palm Springs Panorama, Riverside Co., Calif. to see if we might be able to find some more there (we have captured several here in the past). We began looking at 1250, and looked until 1430, but didn't see one. We saw several Diposaurus dorsalis and a great many Uma inornata at this time, though. We returned to UCR at 1640 after a trip of 446 miles. We acquired only 6 P. m'calli and saw 1 DOR during the entire trip. This is the worst I have done since I began looking for these lizards in earnest 4 years ago. Fair numbers of Uma notata, Uma inornata, Diposaurus dorsalis, and Callisaurus draconoides were seen (also Urosaurus graciosa), however.
