July 25 Blue Ridge, Los Angeles Co., Calif.
captured 13. Then we drove to Big Pines
by way of Phelan. No lizards were
seen along this route, although Frank
Aubrey & I captured large numbers of
S. occidentalis and some S. magister
along this route in 1959. We looked
for lizards at Blue Ridge from 1200
to 1620. Then we returned to UCR,
arriving there at 1755 after a trip
of 155 miles.
We caught the following animals today:
Sceloporus occidentalis - 3 (2♂, 1♀)
Sceloporus magister - 13 (8♂, 5♀; 1 im ♀ released)
Sceloporus gregarius - 42 (18♂, 24♀)
Total 58 (1 released)

Pete Allen, Donna Hobbs, Valerie Ernst &
I left UCR at 1645. We reached the
Highline Canal at 2000 and immediately began

until 2130, but saw only 1 adult and 1 juvenile.
The weather appeared to be ideal, but no
other lizards were seen. Minimum temp.
tonight was 56°F.
Aug. 4 We arose at 0530 and ate breakfast. We
looked for lizards along the road from
0630 to 1050. We were able to make only
one round trip between the canals during
this time. However, we caught 1 juvenile
