Lovejoy Buttes area, Los Angeles Co., Calif.
late in the afternoon. We missed
only one or two that might possibly have
been F. The S. majestic all seemed more
abundant during the late afternoon.
During the morning, however, relatively
few animals were seen. This may have
been due to the fact that the air
temp. last night got down to about
35°F. There are lots of annuals growing
& blooming in this region. A number
of species are represented. There should
be lots of reptile food produced this
spring. We left this region at
sundown, & headed for 29 Palms. We
reached 29 Palms about 2200. After
eating we camped at Indian Cove in
Joshua Tree National Monument. Min.
temp. tonight - 56°F. (sundown - 1825.)
April 23
Dale Dry Lake area, San Bernardino Co., Calif.
We arose at 0610 & ate breakfast. Then we
drove to our collecting site at Dale Dry Lake.
We began looking for lizards at 0800,
and looked until 1225. Uma scoparia
were not too numerous (we saw 42 during
this period), but we were able to capture
several. Dipsoosaurus dorsalis became
reasonably abundant late in the
morning. We returned to UCR at
1620 after a trip of 416 miles.
