Blue Ridge, Los Angeles Co., Calif.
Sceloporus graciosus sample, although
a strong wind was blowing from the
southwest, we were able to find
lots of S. graciosus on the lee
side of the hill. Only one S.
occidentalis was collected at this
location, but a good sample of S.
graciosus was obtained by 1720. We
eat dinner at Big Pines Campground,
but it began to get very cool
as the sun disappeared behind
the hills. Consequently, we decided
to return to the desert to camp
for the night. Then we could look
for S. occidentalis at the lower
elevation the next morning. Therefore,
we left the Big Pines area.
Saddleback Buttes area, Los Angeles Co., Calif.
We drove to Llano, then past Lovejoy
Buttes to Joshua Tree State Park
near Saddleback Buttes. One Coleonyx
variegatus (?) was collected near a
rocky slope between Lovejoy and
Saddleback Buttes. I think this is the
only one we have collected in Los
Angeles County so far.

We arose at 0615 and ate breakfast.
We began looking for S. magister
at 0720 near Saddleback Buttes.
