Gilmore 1976 Cabazon, 1700 Riverside County, California March 16, 1926 1. Gopher $\#605$. 603-53-27-4. Dry sandy wash association near mount base. 2. Gopher. & 70.5 C. 185-53-26-4 Dry sandy wash association near the foot of Mt. San Jacinto. 3. Alligator Lizard. Running through dry sticks near tree on dry bottom of Whitewater River, at foot of Mt San Jacinto, Cabazon Riverside Co. Calif. Spent most of the day looking for gopher holes and setting traps in them. Most of the gophers caught (6 out of 8) were small, averaging about 60 grams in weight, while two were large, averaging 108 grams. The small gophers may represent immature gophers or a different sub-species. Both kinds of gophers, however, were cought in the same association; sandy soil from washes or on the low flat fields. The ground is sparsely covered over with desert vegetation, e.g. cholla, greasewood, etc. The locality consists in the main of a long narrow valley hemmed in on the southern and northern sides by high mountains and hills.
