Greene, H. 1980 4 October Returned to Car City for supper ~1800. (continued) Road hunted till 2300 via road up Gantane Canyon to Walke Pass Rd & then back via Hwy 14 and Nevada Rd. Got 3 Lithophis, 1 Bufo, 1 Crotalus cerastes, and 1 Dipossaurus. The Dipossaurus was asleep on the pavement ~2230 hrs. 5 October Drove back to Berkeley via Walter Pass Rd. and the Kern River Canyon. Stopped in Joshua trees a few miles SE of the pass and caught ~1/5 Xantusia (several very small) and a juvenile Mastacophis flagellus that was under a yucca log at 20900 hrs. Very fast and snappy. Also saw several Uta, a juvenile Crepidophorus, and a golden eagle soaring. Met a man named Louis Self, who very politely informed us that we were on his land and that he preferred we didn't collect anymore (no fences or signs). He was concerned about limblex lizards, which he sees occasionally, and seemed to have a detailed familiarity w/many local wildlife. However he referred to shooting a "lynx" that eat his quail. Read a small Honda
