Mayhew 1962 Journal 22. May 18-20 San Jacinto Mts., Riverside Co., Calif. temperature reached 30° F during the night. We looked for birds and reptile up as high as Farview Point (7720 ft elevation), then retraced our route to highway R1. We stopped at Indian Hill Road (½ mi. S. of Lake Fulmor) to look for animals, but we saw relatively few. However, the sky was almost completely overcast and a strong wind was blowing. We made our next stop about 3 miles south of Banning to look for Xantusia henshawi. Then we returned to UCR, arriving at 1625, after a trip of 181 miles. We saw 62 species of vertebrates on the trip, and captured 98 reptiles & amphibians of 9 species. The captured ones were: Sceloporus occidentalis - 12 Sceloporus orcutti - 4 Sceloporus graciosus - 56 (43 ad, 13 juv.) Uta stansburiana - 13 Xantusia henshawi - 8 Phrynosoma coronatum - 2 Cnemidophorus tigris - 1 Lampropeltis getulus - 1 Bufo boreas - 1 A large sample of Sceloporus graciosus was sent to Don Hunsaker at San Diego State College.
