P. Brylski 1982 Journal. 14.4 mi E, 0.7 mi S Olancha, Inyo Co., Calif. or so WST of 136-190 Oct. They may or may not lead into more deserti habitat . The immediate habitat about their road does not look promising. 4pm at Olancha and turning South on 395. Guess I'll head down to L.A., take care of business there and try my hand in the Barstow Area in a few days. Note: list of embryo sizes and mother wt: # #embryos CR. WT F (g.) 482 2 25 43 484 2 27 44.5 487 4 10 41 488 3 8 37 489 4 11 42 493 4 10 40. 497#?? 4 8 34 506 3 8 36 509 2 35 43 The r^2 between embryo CR length and F weight is round 0.59, not a particularly good correlation for predictive value. Clearly both embryo number and CR length figure in of F wt. The bottom line is that I can't be particularly certain of embryo size by looking at F wt. Still, any wt under 40 g is almost assuredly of a mother of early development embryos.
