Glamis area, Imperial Co., Calif.
was all we saw on the road tonight.
The maximum temp. we recorded today
was 24°C., the minimum temp. tonight
was 10°C. We slept in an S.P.
section hands check tonight, thanks
to Ike Harris.

We arose at 0815 and ate breakfast.
We caught some Uma notata as
we drove through the dunes. Then
we drove along the road between
the canals looking for Phrynosoma
m'calli + Dipsozaurus dorsalis,
after lunch [illegible] (we ate at 1500) we
went into the dunes again for Uma
notata + Urosaurus gracivus. However,
the wind began to blow again, and it
blew so hard we found few lizards.
We waited until dark to see if the
wind would die down sufficiently to
permit night collecting. However, it
blew harder after dark, so we made
our pass between Glamis & the
Highline Canal, then headed for home.
The only animal seen on the road
was a Chionactis occipitalis. The
maximum temp. today was 32.0°C. We
reached YCR at 0035 after a total
trip of 398 miles. We caught 60
animals alive, 8 of which were released.
