Journal 1 1973 April 7 Algodones Dunes, W. of Glamis, Imperial Co., Calif. A trip by dunebuggy was made approximately 6 miles north of Highway 78 on the west side of the dunes, then across the dunes to the eastern edge. Then this route was retraced roughly over the same course back to Highway 78. Some time also was spent looking for animals in the creosote bush scrub west of the dunes as well as along the two canals (Highline, Coachella). I looked for animals in this area from 1015 to 1530. I have never seen the plants in such profusion. Oenothera deltoides are very abundant in the low areas of the dunes. Some Hesperocalia undulata are over 5 feet tall this year. Abrota villosa was abundant when I was here on February 2 (1973), but has largely disappeared by now. Lots of new Helianthus tephroides have germinated this spring, but not many of this species are in bloom yet. The other perennials in the dunes look to be in fine shape. Animals seen on this trip were as follows:
