Maylew 1962 Journal 29. June 14 Glamis area, Imperial Co., Calif. Cnemidophorus tigris - 1 (♀) Colonyx variegatus - 15 (8♂, 7♀) Diposaurus dorsalis - 7 (2♂, 3♀) (2 released) Phrynosoma m'calli - 11 (8♂, 3♀) (3 DOR seen) Urosaurus graciosa - 10 (5♂, 5♀) Uma notata - 21 (6♂, 10♀ ad.) (5 released) We kept only 40 animals of 8 species for dissection. June 21 Palm Springs, Riverside Co., Calif. Walt Moberly + I left UCR at 0605, and arrived at our collecting area above Vista Chino at 0700. A small wash, just east of the housing development with the brick fence on Vista Chino, contained the only green Sanza livericata around. We decided to walk around this area a bit. We found it rather full of Uma inornata with some Diposaurus dorsalis also present. By the time (0900) we stopped looking in this green belt, we had captured 20 Uma inornata, 8 Diposaurus dorsalis, and 2 Crotaphytus wisligeni. Four of the Uma escaped through a hole in a sack, however. Then we drove down to Palm Springs Panorama, which is quite dry right now. We caught 6 Diposaurus dorsalia there before we returned
