Greene, H. 1979 28 Feb Left Oakland Airport at 7AM w/ Dave Wake, Kaz Yanov, John Cadle for Ontario-Riverside. Arrived there ~8, rented 4-wheel drive van at JC Riverside, ate breakfast & drove up to San Dimas Canyon. San Dimas Canyon, 1.1 mi NNE Foothill Freeway, San Bernardino Co., California Sunny, warm. Steep, chaparral-covered slopes; canyon bottoms sparsely to heavily wooded. Water in streams. 1 Anceides lugubris, 1 Batrachoseps nigivertex, 1 Gopherus multicarinatus, 1 Thamnophis couchi. I saw 1 large Gopherus active in thick brush high on a hill, but it easily slipped away. Caught 1 w/ complete tail (tip later broken in sack) in lush grass in open, near trees at roadside. Heard it, then saw it moving towards a large sheet of cardboard. Seemed to fold legs and be moving largely by lateral undulation. (see general notes on this trip at end of 4 March)

Greene, H. 1979 1 March (cont.) East Portal Adit, 1/4 air mi SE Calegon, 1600 ft, Riverside Co., California Very open, boulder covered hills, few trees & logs, much trash. J.C & I trespass & are immediately caught by two ranchers - we are "hiding" while Dave and Kay are to act like the car is broken down. Instead Dave tells the truth and they are very cooperative. The elder even sends his "boy" (~mid 40's) along to help us at this and the next locality. Calls Dave "young fellow" (appreciated) and Kay "young lady" (not appreciated). Pouring rain and cold. We get thoroughly soaked. 1 Batrachoseps major, 1 small Coleonyx, 1 Xantusia vigilis, 1 G. multicarinatus, ≥1 Enneeces. These were under surface cover.

Keene, H. 1979 12 May Pt Pinole Regional Park, Richmond, California Walking the dog w/ Dona shortly before sunset -- still visible above Mt. Tam but road is in shade. At x 1900 hr we encounter an adult Gopherus multicarinatus basking on the asphalt road shoulder. The site is less than 100 m W of the RR bridge and in the public picnic area. The lizard is flat against the pavement, w/ limbs extended alternately left [illegible] forward and backward. Thus, I can't be sure if it was really basking or just "froze" in mid-stude before I saw it. We approached to w/in .5 m w/out it moving, but when the dog touched it w/ her snout it moved across the entire width of the road. She cornered it just before it reached glass on the opposite side, and it turned and traveled back to the original site where she cornered it again. This time the lizard turned its body in a tight coiled, pointed its head upward w/ mouth agape, and circled to follow the dog's movements. She finally came very close (~4-5 cm) and it jumped (?)

Greene, H. 1979 13 May (cat.) at her. She jerked back quickly, and the lizard escaped into the glass. (When the lizard moved across the road and back I watched it carefully. The limbs were folded against the body and progression was entirely by lateral undulation of the body and tail. It moved very fast, faster I think than Gerhardt [illegible] can move w/ its legs.) We were, surprisingly, it seemed, unable to locate the lizard in the roadside grass.

One juvenile I found under a 4x12" piece of wood had obviously recently eaten. Our attempt to get it to regurgitate resulted in rupture of the vent, exposing a Scelopous in the gut. The second was a large adult under a piece of bark that rested over the end of a large log. Snake was tightly coiled, facing sun; bark not touching it. A perfect situation for snake bite and the student were impressed. Later a girl found another large adult under a board and while she went for help a second smaller snake crawled next to the first. arrived Hendy Woods State Park, Mendocino Co., California at dark Two students arrived before us

Hit by cars behind us. 9467.7 - Washington St. Exit. Stopped to get a room & pickle the DOR's before heading to Washington St. localities. One thing I failed to note above, concerning the sandy road we drove several times 5 mi E of Borrego Springs, was the high frequencies of tail loss in every lizard species. Callisaurus was perhaps an exception, but we saw very few and caught none. One of the two Garteria and several each of the Uta and Dipsozaurus were missing tails. Also, many of the latter two species that we caught or observed closely had regenerated tails. We take this to mean heavy predation, but saw no certain candidates. Coyote scat were frequent, and roadrunners seem common. 9495.4 - DOR Mastophis flagellum on Snow Creek Rd. 9496.0 - Uta on rock beside road. 9496.5 - went up boulders at end of road 'til 1800 hrs.

Then walking across flat area between flow and the road we found a Phrynosoma platyhinus on a small rock w/ it's back perpendicular to the sun. Forgot to note that driving to the pullover where we started across the flow, I moosed a Callisaurus 789.6 Chionactis or Amboyed. going to 29 Palms National Trail Hwy. 8:30 pm 793.7 Crotalus cerastes ADR (killed) 8:48 pm 796.6 Arizona elegans 8:45 pm 806.4 C. cerastes ADR 9:02 pm 812.5 C. cerastes DOR (lg. smashed) 9:10 pm

Greene, H. 1980 3 May (cont.) 813.1 C. cerastes AOR (killed, in plastic sack) 9:15 pm 821.5 Adobe Rd., turn S 823.5 W on Hwy b2, 9:30 pm 72° Some final notes on today. The sidewinder tracks at Washington & 38th streets were pretty easy to read - only plant cover (especially Russian Thistle) would have impeded trailing them. As for Yantusia, I searched a dozen or more perfect looking Joshua tree logs and found only centipedes and the one tiny specimen - the adults must be (?) in the logs in midday. Saw many Dipsosaurus along Amboy Road, especially the N. slope. The lava flow at Ringah was very impressive to see and very difficult to walk on. Only sparse vegetation, yet we saw lizard feces. The Crotalus mitchelli rattled loudly before seen and crawled continuously - we couldn't make it coil for more that a few seconds at a time. It is a very dark snake and was not easy to see on the lava. The first three snakes on the road were collected driving up the N. slope from Amboy, S. on Amboy Road.

Here, H. 1980 4 May Got out to dunes at 38th & Washington @ 09:15 h. Saw tracks of lizards and a sidewinder, and a few very way [illegible] Ura in the vicinity of the 2nd windbreak driving W. from the intersection. People shooting a lot. Drove up and down 38th street, turned N on Washington & stopped at the next dune. Saw Iguanosaurus, Ura, Cnemidophorus - all very way and hot - and Kristine found a Thynposona scat, fresh of course! Ate lunch and sat out the heat while Kristine went to buy a cooler and make a phone call. At 14:08 h heard on the radio that it's 98°F right now in Palm Desert. Note that in driving from Washington Street to here saw quite a lot of good looking dune habitat (w/ very little thistle) along 44th street. Most of it had realtor signs posted though. Next went to the "Living Desert Reserve" and toured the place - still obviously in progress, and a nice educational thing for the layman. A poor comparison, however, to Arizona- Sonora Desert Museum or the Visitor's Center at Agua Borrego. Next went to Garnett Dunes, but we were in such a severe

there, H. 1980 4 May sand storm that it wasn't possible (cost.) to search for lizards. Then we checked rocks along Snow Creek Rd for basking lizards, hoping for a big Sceloporus magister I saw there earlier, but got nothing. It was very windy and the sun was dimmed by the sand. After this we headed for the UC Riverside Garage, where we shifted all our gear to Kristine's VW and lugged in the Horset - we drove ~1350 miles. Went to Ontario for a room and supper, and will return to Berkeley tomorrow morning by plane. 10 May Jewel Lake, Tilden Regional Park, Contra Costa Co., California cold, partly overcast day. Went from 10:30-1:30 to visit one of my Zool 107 student, Dana Kokubun, who is studying basking and aggression in Clemmys marmorata. We saw at least 6:3 on a floating plant, w/ necks and limbs extended; one smaller adult in the water that tried unsuccessfully to climb on the plants (it was gaped at by the largest resident); one basking on a stump in the water; and 2 basking ontiles at the water's edge.

Here, H. 1980 23 May Rionero Regional Park, Cortia Costa Co., California Visited area near east (Alhambra Road) entrance to park. When we arrived at 08:15 it was sunny, windy, and cold. Lots of pollen and hay fever! I took a group (this is a Zoology 107 trip) up by the four lagoons, then along a ridge that parallels the winding road from the parking lot to the first lagoons. As a result, we had to cross the very steep canyon separating the two ridges. The S. facing slope was dense chaparral with some areas of thick oak woodland; the N. facing slope was grassy w/ scattered patches of chaparral and very steep. We found Sceloporus occidentalis everywhere; transforming Hyla regilla at the first lagoon plus a huge calling male at the last one. Also at the last lagoon were 4 Clemmys marmorata basking on a tree trunk emerging near the shore. On the S. facing slope we got 3 Genhorotus multicarinatus: one juvenile under a board, w/ an intact original tail; one large adult ♂ (126 mm SV) lodging in a poison oak tangle on bare dirt, with a large fresh gash on its

When we returned to the parking area, learned that other groups had done well. Carol Baird saw a Masticophis lateralis and a fox; Robert Zirk saw a large, opaque Crotalus viridis in a rock cleft and David Sherman (student) saw another crossing the road. Beth Baker and Stan Sessions saw a Coluber constrictor and 2 Thamnophis couchii around the uppermost lagoon. Oddly, no Pituophis or Lampropeltis seen, although I walked a line of about 50 students over a grassy area looking for them. 24 May Brisas Regional Park, Contra Costa Co., California Met ?40 Zoology 107 students and 5 leading assistants at the east entrance at 0815. Sunny, not as cold and windy as yesterday. We walked in groups to the first lagoon, seeing a few Sceloporus occidentalis along the way, but spent the rest of the

Saw numerous transforming Thyla regilla and a swimming Thamnophis at the first lagoon. Then walked up the east facing grassy slope beyond 1st two lagoons, to fork in dirt road just past the fence, then up the winding dirt road that ascends the ridge of the E. facing slope. We were heading for a NE facing boulder outcrop where Zirk saw a big Crotalus yesterday. On the way I sent a woman student up a grassy slope on the left to check some boulders and she immediately found an adult Crotalus viridis stretched out in the grass. It rattled half heartedly and sprayed much when I picked it up. Seemed fat, though I couldn't detect any distinct food items. Had only 3-4 segments and was approx 80 cm long. Released it after photographs. Couldn't find

Hoene, H. 1980 29 May Left Berkeley ~7PM w/ two students on Zoology 165 field trip to Mojave Desert. Met John Cade, Paul Dicht and 9 other students at the W side of the Desert Tortoise Preserve. We arrived ~0130 and went right to sleep. Woke ~07:30 for breakfast w/ everyone and Ronald Marlow. 30 May Desert Tortoise Preser~5 mi N. California City, Kern Co., California Walked around from ~8:30-12:15. Nice morning, getting hot at the end. We saw many Cnemidophorus lignis (incl. at least 2 pairs in constant tandem, 7 feeding); Uta stansburiana; Gambelia wifigeni (~2 M, 2 females in rich red color); Galliaurus; Grotalus cerastes (not seen by me); and 3 Nasticophis flagellum. 2 of the M. flagellum were at least trying to copulate, and we took many photographs. Especially impressive was the way in which the M tapped the F's head down when she started to move off. I caught and measured them: F 1076+385mm, M 978+35mm. Ate lunch, shopped in Cal City, and moved on. Piozlah Crater, San Bernardino Co., California Arrived ~1630, walked over past Jeff Kaufmann's study area. Saw Uta, 2 Grotalus cerastes, Uta, and Cnemidophorus. One adult C. cerastes was barely visible at the mouth of a small burrow in the flat near the road. A small

Herrn, H. 1980 30 may one was under a small lava rock prospect (cont.) ~ 10 cm above sand, out on the lava flow. after supper, four cars hunted the blacktop road from Newberry Springs to Anchoy. Got several Chionactus, 1 Phyllodictylus, ?/0 C. cerastes, 2 Arizona elegans, 1 Dipsosaurus, and 4-5 Coleonyx. The chionactus have yellow interspaces that are fringed w/ orange or rust color. The one found crawling on sand in the lava at 5:56 1830 hr was purplish gray w/ a faint reddish middorsal area. 31/may walked along the creosote flats, up into the lava flow and back to camp from ~0830 - 1/30 hr. Saw numerous lizards: Phrynosoma platyphinos (1 just was grey gray- black all over), Uta, Dipsosaurus, Gymnodophorus (several traveling in pairs), Urosaurus gracilis, Sauromalus, Grotaphytus ficirostris (a pair, ? w/ orange spots, both very melanistic) and Callisaurus. One student saw a Gopherus on the lava flow. After lunch we had demonstrations on thermal and exercise biology led by Paul Ticht (C. tigris was run to exhaustion in 14 sec.!). Then went to Jeff Kaufmann's apartment in Newberry Springs for showers. At about 1600 we walked from our campsite w/ to Jeff's Ursa study

Next we searched the lava while walking back to camp, finding more lizards, one Gopherus in a burrow, and one Crotalus cerastes. The Crotalus was coiled exposed in sand among the lava rocks, partly in sun. Paul found a Chionactis crawling in sand while sun still up, among the lava rocks. This one was not melanistic - interspaces were bright yellow, with fairly distinct orange secondary bands. After dark three cars went road hunting - saw Arizona, Phyllodryphus, Coleonyx, C. cerastes, and Chionactis. Note the last two nights there was a bright full moon and it was windy. 1 June Up about 0630 to move on to Darwin Falls- 7.6 mi S. Jct of Scarles Station Rd on Trona Rd. Stopped here in creosote shrub to catch a small adult coachwhip crossing the road. My car missed the last short right turn to the Darwin Falls parking and went 10-12 miles over the range.

Here, H. 1980 1 June falls. Had a nice swim and saw Byrs (cont.) punctatus , Gallisaurus , and Garbelia in the canyon. Due to a low tank, I drove to Trona for gas, followed by Jeff Kaufman for safety. Returned in time for road hunting. We sent three cars out on nearly roads, and got 2 jwr C. mitchelli , 1 L. getulus , 1 Sonora , 2 Coleman, 2 C. erastes , 2 Phyllohyphelus , and 1 Hypsohela . It was warm and dark but clear. Saw a gray fox (Uwagon) dash across the road as we pulled up to our campsite. 2 June left the campsite at 0830 to head home via Walker Pass and the leopard lizard reserve at Pifley. Saw a car hit an adult Gotalus viridis on the road in Kern Canyon. Walked around for 45 minutes at Pifley; saw 2 dead and dried Phrynosora coronatin in the dirt road, and 3 & 6 Garbelia silus in the grass. All had a rosy cast, and at least two (one I caught, one seen at close range) also had lemon yellow around the vertical part of the tail base. Got a good close look at a prairie falcon flying low

Arrived in Berkeley at 2000 h. 4 June Canal Hollow Rd., Alameda & San Joaquin Counties, California left Berkeley at #1700 w/5 students on a Zoology 107 trip. On Mines & Tesla Roads saw various birds, Sperophilus beecheyi, and 1 dead Pituophis (not especially fresh). Saw 2 more Pituophis on Canal Hollow Rd., 1 fairly fresh and one not. At Castle Rock on the Corrally Ranch we saw owls, Antrozous pallidus, a Scaphiopus hammondi, and a Bufo boreas. Both toads were active on the surface in dry grass. No live snakes. It was quite cold and windy, and we had a good shower (a surprise to longtime residents) in Berkeley today. Got home at 1 AM! We did see at least 1 Urocyon (possibly 2) cross the road on our way into Livermore. 6 June Canal Hollow Rd., Alameda & San Joaquin Cos., California Everything same as two nights ago, except no carnivores, only one snake (an AOR Hypsiglena.)

The toads were all very flattened against the parent, as if warning. a student pointed out what he said was an occupied eagle nest - a large stick nest to the S. as one ascends the pass going E. The nest is to the left of the tunnel and x 1/2 up an isolated oak on a distant hillside. 13 June Left Berkeley at 1100 w/ John Cade to drive straight through to Fort Worth to attend the A51H meeting. Saw 2 DOR badgers on I-5 in the valley, a few Holbrookia lutea and some Cnemidophorus at a roadside rest area in SE Arizona along I-10. Encountered 100+ F in the El Paso - Van Horn area, and finally arrived x 0200 on Sunday morning the 15th. 175 mi WSW Wichita (FM1219 exit) on Hwy I-20, Ward Co., Texas 14 June Here I spotted a dead javelina on the roadside - what I took to be a small adult w/ good side tusks. Surroundings sparse desert scrub, mainly Larrea. I thought it might be a range extension, but it was rotten so we left it.

Hence, H. 1980 26 June at 9 rd miles NW of Hwy 163 (near Moab) on Hwy 128, Grand Co. Utah Looked on red boulders and talus slope here, below steep cliffs that are the SE 1/2 wall of the Colorado River Canyon. Saw only Sceloporus undulatus (slight reddish cast, one ? w/seast injuries) and Uta stansburiana (very heavy reddish overwash). Collected 3 and 2, respectively. This was approx 1045-1/35 hrs. After lunch went to Arches visitor center and ask woman ranger about Phrynosoma -- said to see Carl Mikesell, a retired man who lives at Pack Creek Ranch, a few miles SE of Moab, up in the pinion-juniper slopes of the mountains. A nice drive and on the way noted 2 Crotaphytus collaris. Met Carl, and he took us to the end of the pavement, just past Pack Creek. 0.5 mi above his house I found a bright yellow/green Crotaphytus flat on a boulder (4-1/2 m diameter) facing the sun. This was in sparse juniper/sage, very rocky. At 1.5 mi past his house, just past Pack Creek, we climbed a slope to the left of the dirt road and I tried repeatedly to nose a Cnemidophorus velox.

Here there were scattered sagebrush flats w/ numerous Sceloporus graciosus. Found and released 1 juvenile Phrynosoma douglasii in the road as we were returning to the jeep. Went back to Moab for supper, then road hunted to Pack Creek and tracks. Got a live Bufo woodhousei and an AOR jnr. Pituophis on Hwy 163. NB: Of the two juvenile Crotaphytus caught earlier, the ♂ had distinctly blue and yellow colors, though not so dramatic as the adult ♂. After approx 6 hours in an ice cooler, I can not distinguish the two on the basis of color, except that the little male has some yellow suffusion on the front legs. [Map Diagram] Moab Grand Co.

Greene, UT. 1980 26 June Carl Mikesell was born 1917 and lives in (cpt.) a log cabin, which he showed off. Sleeps on a cot in his lawn. Has an 11-year old airedale named Sandy, that lost both testicles in a fight w/ 3 coyotes. Carl says Sandy's even braver now, since he has nothing to lose. Carl hunts arrowheads, which is how he runs across the Phrynosoma and an occasional "little firber rattler." I gave him a nice intact arrowhead I found at the uppermost site we visited, and he said it "paid for the trip." 27 June Left Moab late morning, and saw a very DOR Masticophis taeniatus 1/2 mi N. of the entrance to Arches National Park on Hwy 163. Arrived Provo ~4PM, got "Motel 6" room, and headed for a Phrynosoma locality suggested by Wilmer Tanner. It is the first "lodge" S. st W. of Saratoga, on the W. side of Utah Lake and E. of Lake Mtns. Drove up a dirt rd that turns W from Hwy 68 3.5 mi S. of its jet w/ Hwy 73. Most of this area is a slope of the Lake Mtns, w/ thick sagebrush and many fall ant nests.

Here, H. 1980 27 June (cont.) We drove past some sort of quarry operation, then walked up into junipers and boulders. This was from ~1700-1930, saw only Uta (basking on rocks along road cut) and 1 nice big ♀ Sceloporus graciosus. Next parked at the quarry and walked across the sage flat to the upper edge of the ledge. It is a long, massive outcrop, very visible from (and ~0.4 mi W.) Hwy 68. Here I found a small Pituophis crawling into a crevice at the base of the tin-roof. I suspect it was hunting, since this would seem a good time (~1950h) and place to catch sleeping lizards. 27 June

Picked up Ron Marlow at 0630 and were on the W. edge of the Desert Tortoise Preserve by ~0830. Kirk and Ron went on the Reserve and saw 2 Gopherus (♂♀ basking), a Masticophis skin, a juvenile Phrynosoma platyhirum, a juvenile Cantelia, and an adult Callisaurus. Kept none of these. Mark and Darie and I stayed on the public property to collect lizards for feeding experiments, saw numerous Uta stansburiana basking on dead branches or ground - very many, and we noosed only 3. Saw 2 Cnemidophorus ligur, noosed one. I spotted a juvenile Cantelia which pored to have a severe abdominal wound that had begun to heal where sand had dried on it; collected and pickled it. Left ~10:45 for Cal city and lunch. Also, I found a small adult ♂ Tortoise basking ~0900.

Got 4 snakes and a DOR Sceloporus, saw a few Dipodomys and a burrowing owl. 4 October Pisgah Crater, San Bernardino Co., California woke up early and made it to here by 0815. Walked around till 1100. Saw young Uta, thwa (2 only), and Cnemidophorus, plus a few adult Cnemidophorus and Callisaurus. Kurt heard a noise by a ledge in lava rubble, and we located a small adult Sauromalus w/ slightly regenerated short tail. While we were trying to get it out heard a loud rattling behind us and saw a young adult Crotalus mitchelli go under a rock pile. Dug until it came crawling out very fast, still rattling and biting when pinned. Caught it. After lunch in Mojave went to Afton Canyon for some walking in the shallow waters of the Mojave River.

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.

Helen, H. 1980 5 October scooter, and said there were 3 rattlesnakes (cont.) there - "timbers" "diamondbacks" and "Mojave greens." Perhaps he meant C. viridis and C. mitchelli by the first two. Said he had washed some "immature salamanders" out of some sort of water pipe on his property, and that there was a spring nearby. From his description (response to Marlow's questioning) the animals could have been Batrachocaps. The locality is a slope below high rocky, open hillsides with many Joshua trees at the level we were hunting, which was 3.9 rd. mi. SE of the Walker Pass sign. Dropped Marlow off after lunch in Bakersfield and made it into the MVZ ≈ 1800. The overall impression was of few reptiles seen (10 snakes, a few dozen lizards), and most of them juveniles - although it was very hot in the afternoon (≤100°F). Very few flowers too.

Charged some money, then went to permit office (helpful but complicated) and to Museo Javier Prado. Nelly Carillo & the Director, Fenega, were out so we looked at their exhibits and left for a nap in the pension (very cold shower).

At 1400 took Lima Tours on a route to ruins above city and about town. Supper was lucha alla vasca, trout w/ garlic ¦ tomato sauce-excellent. Saw llamas, alpacas, bunows, sheep, ¦ many Indians on tour. Also very old ("85") playing an instrument and chanting musically but monotonously (some). 19 November Rose early and caught the 0700 tourist train to Machu Picchu. Our reserved seats were across from a strange Latin couple: he looked like the late Nicaraguan dictator, w/ sun glasses, pot belly, etc ¦ chain-smoked. She wore heavy lipstick, dark glasses, a fur jacket, and bright red shoes and pants. First to series of switchbacks - each ending in a sharp jolt when the train stopped - to rise out of el valle de Cusco. Then gradually descended from over 12000 feet to ¡≈6000 feet in the gorge of the Rio Urubamba. Along the way couldn't see mountains tops for clouds, but surroundings for first ¡≈2 hours were very open-grassland, cattle, Indians. Late became steeper near tracks, some cacti, shrubs, bromeliads, and eventually

Keene, H. 1980 19 November, rather like cloud forest with rather tall (continued) trees in places. Arrived Machu Picchu station ~1115, took bus up series of switchbacks - ~2000 feet up in < 20 minutes. suddenly one rounds a bend, sees the ruins and it is spectacular. We walked around the ruins for ~ 2 hours w/ our guide before eating lunch at the restaurant. Weather was cloudy w/ occasional drizzle when we arrived, but by 1515 when I started down it was hot and sunny. After sun came out I saw 2 of one species of Stenocereus (cf. S. crassicaudatus) and one of the other - all looked like Sceloporus. First two were on large stones, the other on a step. All were wary. On the way down I wanted some solitude, so spent a lot of the time before dusk on the platform between cars. Air was cool, snake from locomotive was acrid but not bad, and the noise totally obscured everything but the views - which were spectacular. There were many snow covered ridges, w/ the late afternoon sun glistering gold on them. At one point

Heene, H. 1980 19 November we stopped a moment at a small village, (continued) and I photographed a full moon in a deep, royal blue sky, shining down from a bridge on a field bounded by a pretty adobe cotta fence. Very beautiful. Arrived back in Cusco 21:30 tired. Forgot to mention that as we boarded the train in Cusco I ran into John Behler, Curator of Herpetology at the Bronx Zoo, who was leading a tour. On way back, Norma McCaw, a British woman we took up with, convinced an old American couple she didn't like sitting w/ to switch seats w/ us, and we thereby avoided another 4 hours w/ Smokey Samora and his sweetie. Supper in Cusco at La Roma not especially good. 20 November Got up at 0530 for trip to airport for early flight, but arrived to find all flights holding. One Aero Peru did leave 10, but at 12:30 the Faucett Air flights were cancelled - back to the hotel level, and a nap. Later took in the Indian market: hundreds of stalls, women cooking and nursing children still seated on the cobblesions,

Cuzco, H. 1980 20 November (continued) human wastes here and there - a real potpourri of sights, sounds, and smells. Had a nice time bargaining w/ a pretty Indian woman over a porocho. Her little niña looked ill - as do many - and Mark noted that we saw many babies but far fewer older children. For supper we first walked E. of the Plaza de Armas to La Quinta, a restaurant said to serve guinea pig. It was closed, but the walk was interesting - down & up narrow Inca streets, past the wall w/ the famous 12-cornered stone. (Incidentally, twice in Cuzco we went by small portals in doors at night & saw an expressionless face staring out - at least once it was a soldier, buterie more-the-less). Eventually had fine meal at the Turi on the Playa. 21 November This time we took off and I got many photographs of the Andes. Back in Lima, own taxi ride to Pension Alvarado was wild - almost hit by a dungtruck. Accelerator pedal was shaped like a foot, toes and all! After checking in, went to see Jose Kechling for lunch, and portofier.

Greene, H. 1980 21 November Then to Plaza de Armas and Jirca (continued) Techniplast, where they fixed Mark's shoes on the spot. Next to a fine bookstore at Jiron Union 560, where I bought a book on Atahualpa, a novel map, and "Papel Sello Serto" for my permit application. Then to Faucett for reservations and on to the Museo Javier Prado. Had a very nice visit w/ the Director Ramon Ferreyra, and a phone conversation w/ Nelly Caiillo de Espinoza. Then back to hotel, dinner, etc. 22 November Slept a little late, and went to Museo Javier Prado for 10 AM meeting w/ Nelly Caiillo, who arrived ~10:30. Perfectly nice woman, and we had a friendly, productive conversation in Español for ~1 hour. Traded publications, and I promised her a lizard pole. She showed us her collection, which included a couple of really interesting things. One was a large snake I took to be Micrurus spiza but which I then saw was an Erythrolamprus - it was exceptionally heavy-bodied and ~8-1.0m long.

There, H. 1980 22 November (continued) She had five Spilotes, Pydophis boddaerti, and 4 Bothrops. Three of the vipers were B. pictus from near Triva - small brown snakes rather reminiscent of Agkistrodon halys. Photographed one - it had a prehensile tail, and sometimes seemed to sidewind as I looked it about. The fourth might be B. barretti - it is large and heavy bodied w/ large dark & yellow diamonds and a light head. Very aggressive - struck repeatedly & advanced toward me all the while beating its tail on the substrate. This snake is from Chiclayo and is known by the locals as cascabel. Photographed them both - neither looks at all like B. atrox, as they are said to (e.g., Parker, Schmidt & Walker). After visit, back to hotel to wash off the formalina (no agua in her labs) and by cab to Pueblo Libre. After much trouble, we located the Restaurant Riselli on Calle Mar and then took in the Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology. Then home, nap, supper. Borrowed typewriter from desk

Getting a sore throat - from Cusco? 24 November A frustrating day. Packed everything and reserved airport bus pickup for 1700 to catch 1845 flight to Chilego. Went to permit office at 1630, turned in all my papers, and was told I must take a Peruvian student along. (No previous mention of this). I said this was impossible in terms of time or money, and they said come back at 1530 and I could have permit. Off to Jiron Union to buy clipboards at the bookstore, then back to Kechlein's secretary who called around and finally located formalina at Botica Drogeria, Jiron Carillon 336 (just off J. Union near Hotel Savoy) - a double irony! They weren't to open til 4, so ate lunch then went to the park to read until 1530. Set in the plaza opposite street of the permit office and talked w/ shine boys, then read. At 1530 walked into permit office and told to wait morosettis. Almost immediately building shook worse that quake in Barbados last year - I was on 9th floor, and the building was moving violently. A few seconds later, a

Just as things calmed down I was called in and told "there is a problem." I asked for too many specimens - 6 would be the optimal number, unless I went to lengths in my "Plan of Research" to justify 20. Nothing said on this point previously, though I had asked for 20 from the start! After much discussion I agreed to 6, another wait a momentito, then told whole thing had to be re-typed and would be ready tomorrow! More discussion - I looked up word for discouraged and used it - and finally we agreed that I return at 12 manana and get permit for 6 of each species! By now it's 16/5 - called Mark I got him to change bus and air reservations, went back to pension. Learned that the "quake" was a huge explosion at some chemical plant. Talked w/ Jed Hoffman, staying at Pension Alemana who works on the Condor project near Bayoran. He's seen a Micrus cawling about doing daytime there - sounds like M. schotti. No other snakes and no big lizards. He

Supper, reading, rest - I have a head cold. 25 November Slept late - feeling a little better. Took collectivo to vicinity of ministerio de agricultura and walked around until found Proyecto Vicuña - Dr. Brach not in 'til 1 or 2. Caught cab to Botica Inglesa & purchased a liter of 40% formallina for S. 600. Caught cab back to Av. Natalio Sanchez and met the permit people. Got a lecture on what I should do next time and then a permit to collect 6 of each species. Said I must allow 3 days on return for export permit! Next went to see Dr. Antonio Brach, who was just starting lunch in his office. Talked w/ him about conservation in Peru, callopistes, etc., and he gave me a copy of his book, El ambiente en que vivimos. Next back to Pension Alemana, lunch, and left for airport at ≈1700. At airport learned plane was "(h)" late. Finally boarded plane and took off at 2004. After >30 minutes in the air we made a steep turn and the pilot announced we were returning to Lima

[illegible] is based on the idea that if you have a problem, you don't just throw it away and forget about it. You keep trying to solve it until you figure out how to fix it. I started with a simple idea: make something useful for people who are interested in technology but don't have much experience with computers. I wanted to create a tool that could help them learn more about coding, hacking, and other things related to tech. So far, we've made two versions of this project: Version 1 was called "Hacker's Handbook" (or maybe just "Handbook") and Version 2 is now known as "Hackers' Guidebook." Both contain lots of cool stuff like tips, tricks, tutorials, examples, etc. The main difference between these two books is that one focuses on teaching beginners how to get started with hacking while the other provides advanced techniques and strategies for experienced hackers. Both include chapters covering topics such as: - Introduction to Hacking - Basics of Networking - Cryptography - Social Engineering - Malware Development - Exploiting Vulnerabilities - Penetration Testing - Reverse Engineering - Forensics - Legal Issues Each chapter includes practical exercises designed help readers apply what they've learned in real-world situations. Additionally, there are quizzes at the end of each section to test your knowledge. Overall, both books offer valuable insights into various aspects of cybersecurity and hacking. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the basics or an experienced coder seeking new skills, these resources provide excellent starting points for exploring this fascinating field.

About this (continued) line Mark pointed out a shower of sparks (?) outside ... landed in Jira at 2104, stood around gate area w/ never a word of explanation, and boarded another plane and took off x 2200! Arrived Chicalgo x 2300 and got a room at the Hotel Tourista. Then had an excellent steak etc for x 1/2 Jira price at a small restaurant on the Playa de Arenas. 26 November Frustrations continue. Gustavo del Solar, man w/ Parcela in Olmos, is out until mañana. Can't get a car until mañana. Can't hunt lizards until mañana! (Forgot to mention the view on the successful flight to Chicalgo. A mat of solid clouds below and extending to the Andes, an almost full moon over the crest, and a thunderstorm w/ pink- orange lightening behind the peaks. Incredible! The view between plane and mountains was vast and comparatively tranquil, and the clouds were so solid as to resemble plant formations. For a while there were regular clumps rising above the

Later it was a uniform spread of large clumps, all contiguous, such that it looked like lowland rainforest. Having just been reading about reality, perception, etc. (Even Cowgill set the Blues, 100 years of Solitude) it was very thought-provoking! 26 November Woke up safely in Chiclayo and soon learned we can't get a car until tomorrow! Spent the day sleeping (& I'm still sick), touring, etc. Staying at Hotel Tourista and mostly eating at Rest. Roma, just off Plaza de Armas - a steak dinner is less than $2 here, good, and about half what a meal costs at our hotel. 27 November After breakfast went to bank - took 45 minutes and five (5) people to cash Traveler's checks. Rented car for a week from Aris, a Toyota that seems in good shape. After lunch drove north to a locality recommended by John Wright. First stopped at a little drink stand in Motupe (x 80 km N.

Greene, H. 1980 27 November (continued) 7 Km S. Motupe, Ceno de la Vieja, Lambayeque Prov. Peru This is a classic locality for Tropidurus and Phyllodactylus, and John Wright saw several Callopistes here. Talked to five men playing cards and drinking at the house on the W. side of the road and just S. of the Ceno. They gave me a beer and permiso to search the ceno, and were quite friendly. Said there were (are) cascoveles, though not many, that they are <1m long and have killed people. Said there are iguanas, that they go in their shelters at noon because of the sun. From ~1430-1630 we climbed the S. slopes to the top and back, but saw only a few birds, numerous Tropidurus, and one old gecko egg under a rock (Phyllodactylus). First two lizards were T. occipitalis J2, both under a dead, dried cow! When I heaved over the cow, they ran up the same mesquite tree and Mark netted them both. Up in the boulders on the ceno (cow was at bottom, S. side) we saw >=12 T. copeceorum, or so they seemed - it's

Greene, H. 1980 27 November (continued) a little suspicious that my two occipitalis are males and the three "koepcherum" females. Killed and preserved all at 2100. Ceno de la Vieja is a strange place - like a S.W. U.S. mesa bajada, complete w/ columnar cacti. The vista from it is very barren soil (sandy) w/ numerous evenly (+/-) scattered mesquite(?) trees. Here and there are large cattle tanks surrounded by cultivated fields, some sort of palms, and adobe houses. Saw two caracasas (?) on the way here. Made it back to Chiclayo just before dark and had a big Thanksgiving dinner of fish for me and steak for Mark at the Rova - our 11th day in Peru and the first to collect lizards! Informed after supper that Señor Gustav del Solar, local ranch owner sympathetic to American scientist, will return tomorrow night from Zana. (Can used < 1/2 tank to go approx 200km - I put 3/4 tank in before leaving, and it cost S/. 2000.)

Heem, H. 1980 28 November 7 Km S. Motupe, Cerrada Vieja, Tarataque Prov., Peru arrived here x 0915, already hot & sunny. As we walked up to the dead cows at the S. base of the Cerro I spooked a ? Dicodon guttulatum which Mark missed (killed and preserved at 1330). Saw 6-8 other Dicodon, all in open sand among boulders initially, though they moved through thickets when chased. They are very fast! Saw one large one chase a less bright smaller one x 30m, including 2-3 turns. Saw numerous Tropidurus, including an immature T. occipitalis on a bresquite out in the flats where we parked. At 0945 Mark saw a much larger (x 2 ft), black or gray & yellow spotted lizard, and I subsequently heard it (?) twice near the mouth of a burrow. As we approached this area at 1045 I saw a movement in a pile of cactus below the boulders and there it was - an average adult Callopistes flavipunctatus. It crawled a meter up to a ledge under a boulder, turned, out- stretched, and paused about 10 sec. then moved up the slope, out of sight, toward the previous burrow.

Greene, H. 1980 28 November (continued) I got a very good look at the entire animal, and agree that it's total length is probably approx. 0.6m. We returned again at 1145 after walking a fence row (saw nothing) but no sign of the Callopistes. Returned to Chiclayo after gas (5.1200) in Motupe. Motupe<br>Chiclayo NB: Mark saw lots of droppings around the summit which we speculated were fox - but could they have been goat? Returned to Chiclayo. Road hurtled almost to Motupe just after dark but saw nothing but trucks. Tried to contact Señor del Solar again - he's still in Lima.

There, H. 1980 29 November Got up early, but given breakfast, checking out, and a delay w/ our passports being checked. Of the Leno, we arrived ~8:45. 7 Km S. Motupe Cavo la Vieja, Jayayque Prov., Peru Walked around here til ~1100 - saw only a few Dicrodon & Tropidurus. I worked the whole S. side & checked Callopietes site several times but saw more. Saw small green parrots. Mark noted a male T. koepcherum which I kept. As we left battery wires burned, we return to Chiclayo. 2.8 Km N. Jayayca, Jayabayque Prov., Peru As we were driving S. I saw a huge Callopietes at the left road edge, which started off as we stopped. It ran to a dense thorny fence row and disappeared. When first seen it was sitting w/ head high, perpendicular to road edge. This site (which is 0.8 Km N. of the Km 819 sign) has sandy desert it mesquite on the W. road side and rather dense trees on the E. (lizard) road side. The fence side is so dense it's almost totally shaded, and we could hear someone chopping wood. Saw Tropidurus and small Dicrodon in the fence row. after deciding lizard was lost we headed back to Chiclayo for lunch

Greene, H. 1980 29 November (continued) and a chat w/ the Avis people. (Mark is now quite ill - fever, sore stomach, Duca quicksteps etc.). Sat around all afternoon waiting for the Avis lady to return at 2 as promised, but she never showed. Eventually Mark coaxed a local mechanic into helping him fix things. Checked back into hotel, had big supper. As it turns out, all this trouble may be to the good - in the hall I met Frank Sorey and his wife, an American couple that teach in Negritos. They have seen Callojistes and have a fellow teacher, John Boastling, who hunts a lot and knows the area well. We are to look them up at the "Escuela Particular" or American School, Beko Office, in Negritos (no phone). 30 November Up fairly early and drove to Talara via Piura and Sullana, with a brief lunch stop in Piura. From Cerro la Vieja to past Olmos is rugged country, at times nothing but bare rock. Later the landscape is flat, fine sand, and low trees - very desolate the more so because it was overcast. Stopped and rolled two old logs beside the road SE of Piura, and one had a scorpion

Several fins saw a small dark bird w/ a scarlet belly that I later learned is called "putilla" (little whore) because of the colors. Also "Savannah Hawk" a large, orange mottled hawk in a tree beside a rice field N. of Sullana. Numerous egrets there too. Arrived in Talara, went straight to Nogitos to talk w/ Frank and Jeanne Jowry and John and Naida Borling, who teach 8 grades of the American school here (run by Belco Petroleum Co.), John hunts a lot and has the skin of a large Callopietes he shot somewhere in the foothills (E. Piura Prov.). Says he's seen a few others, including a big one crossing the road 1/2 up the hill going out of Talara to Nogitos. This is an aridian sand dune area w/ a few low, broad shrubs. John went with us to get a room in Talara (Hotel Huaros, ~$10/night for 2) and then took us to see Julius Boos - of all things, a friend of George Gorman's (UCLA) known to me

30 November (continued) from the literature. He turns out to be a very funny, fast talking Trinidadian of my age who now works here for an Argentinean oil firm. He has two jars of pickled herps, among which are some Dicrodon, a medium Callopietes, a Micrurus Ischudii, an Alophis elegans, and some Oxythrops fitzingeri, plus some Tropidolunus I didn't check out. Says he'll give me the Callopietes and the Micrurus. Says he's seen several big (>= 1m) Callopietes, one of which he cleaned and it ran tipedally. Hasn't seen any Bothrops. Said he'd take us out for the day tomorrow. Had great dinner at the Belco Club w/ Towsys and John Bowling. 1 December Waited overtime for Julius and finally ~ 0830 his wife showed up with the news he was tied up since midnight with a strike - so we set out toward Jabitos. Went as far as a military camp and returned to a big Quebrada (Paiñes?) we crossed on the way and spent 1 1/2 hours walking about. Saw dozens, maybe hundreds of Dicrodon, mostly

Often saw 4+ under one small bush, and maybe 10-20 under a single large tree (maybe many more - impossible to tell). Saw them raise on hind legs to eat, and also eat from ground. Many lizard turds everywhere, of uniform color and consistency and almost like wood. Rarely saw what looked like a chase, more often two or more passed w/out incident. These lizards hand wave almost continuously when stopped whether or not another lizard was visible (at least to me). They also sit w/ feet raised at times. Several times saw a large one go directly over a distance of several meters, then immediately enter a hole. Lizard tracks everywhere. Very wary, and we only got one juvenile. We also saw and collected one Tropidurus thoracicus. She was on a steep dune side in sparse low vegetation, mottled sun and shade. Very reminiscent of Urua in terms of habitat and general appearance.

Greene, H. 1980 1 December (continued) Had lunch at El Golfo Restaurant overlooking Pacific - cheap food, old nostalgic music. Tooth map, pickled lizards, went to Negritos to talk w/ John Bowling, drove a few km past Negritos (S.) and took pictures. Then back to the Quebrada by El Golfo (between Talana & Negritos) and looked among Dunes (large plants - look so similar to Coachella Valley) for lizards but saw none. However, by 1630-1700 here it is chilly and windy. Went by Julius Boro house (not home), took photos of Talana from above town and went back to Hotel for showers prior to supper with the Bowlings at the club. Nothing seen on road between Negritos and Talana either way. 2 December Up early to be at the school in Negritos (the Belo American School) at 0730 to take 24 students (4th - 8th grades) in the field to Parines. Just after we arrived learned a strike had been called and we couldn't get a bus, after all - typical for this trip!

Freere, H. 1980 2 December (continued) Quebrada ~5 Km (air) NE Najitos, Piura Prox. Peru This is a fairly broad valley, bounded by loose hills and filled w/ low shrubs and trees and one "farm" at the NE end. We split into four groups and worked separately, from ~1000-1145. Saw many Deirodon guttulatus and collected 5 nice adult by mouse and with a pellet rifle. I got one small Tropidurus sp. on a small wooden coral beside an abandoned adobe hut a few hundred meters W. of the farm house. As John Bowlin's group returned to the cars from another valley to the E. of this one he spotted a Callopistes lying in front of a tunnel, near a small tree, at the W. upper edge of the valley. Almost missed it before it went in. I joined him, and we dug 'til ~1330, a total of ~7-8 m of trench, ~1m deep and .5-.7 m wide - difficult digging because wind blew it in almost as fast as we shoveled it out. About .5m down we ran into sea shells, pot shards, and (?) old goat dung. Also several skins of Amphibaena occidentalis ~3-5m down, seemingly fresh. Also

Greene, H 1980 2 December (continued) several large blobs of water, presumably from the Callopistes. The tunnel was generally 5-10 cm in diameter and rather firm-sided. Eventually we reached the lizard w/in ~3 m of the surface and caught her (?). She went completely limp w/ closed eyes. She opened them and her mouth when tapped on the head. Remained this was for at least 30 minutes, then active - but resumed limpness whenever handled). Meantime, one student had seen another large Callopistes in the hills, and a girl saw a third dash off near some dead black vultures. Below the crest (same ridge, further SW from where we dug the F up) Mark found a burrow under some trees in an embankment, with a tail drag mark and black feathers near the entrance. Looked impossible to dig up, and we left for Negritos @ 1345. Went to John's house for beer and then back to hotel in Talara to pickle lizards.

Greene, H. 1980 3 December Went to Belco Schools for brief visit, then back to yesterday's site. I learned its name from John Bowlin's father, and that it is near Verdun. Quelzada Acholao, ~ 5 Km (air) NE Negritos Piura Prov. Peru. This place is reached by driving ~ 2.5 km N. of Negritos on the paved road to Talara, then turning E. at a small farm (with large conal st horses), gong .9 Km then turning N. on a dirt road for ~ 2.8 Kms, then E on a dirt road for ~ 2.0 Km. There are oil wells here and there, and the Bridas Oil Camps residences are visible to the NW before one drops into the Quelzada. We got a nice look at a Dusycyon crossing the road at 0830 hrs as we drove to this place today. Walked around for 1 hour, but saw only reptiles and Dicrodon - I watched one of the lizards run ~ 15 m up an almost vertical slip face. After leaving we drove to Chiclayo via Sullana, Piura (lunch), Sechura, Bayovar, and Moropje. Stopped for brief walk on beach north of Bayovar, and again at cliffs near Bayovar. Didn't see any Tropidurus peruvianus - too hot? After considerable troubles

Gleene, H. 1980 3 December (continued) (Trouble finding road, got stuck, dug out w/ no problems) found the camp of the Condor Project, and found Carla Christensen and Jared Hoffman. Carla had worked on Del Solar's ranch near Almos, and when we showed her the collopistes she remembered seeing these lizards there. Jared, incidentally, had told me the correct colors of Micrurus ischedius and I'm sure that's what he saw; his observation was at 1100AM on an overcast day in the last week of October. The site he showed me was open sand, near a tree. After leaving them, as I was driving E towards the junction of the roads to Sechura and Tarbajeque, I looked toward the sea and saw a condor almost overhead -close enough, I could see the red head and white under wings. As soon as we pulled over and piled out, it moved seaward and out of sight. Arrived Chilago 1830 w/ an almost empty gas tank. (NB: Our collopistes had a palpable stomach mass when caught, so probably had fed that morning).

Motupe, Ceno la Vieja, Tarapacra Prov., Peru We arrived here ~0830, and upon opening the trunk, discovered that a duffle bag w/ spotting scope, live traps, tripod, flash, Telemetry equipment, and film had been stolen! Walked around and over the Ceno til 1045, and saw many Diwidon and both species of Tropidurus - noted 8. Mark found one and a Phyllodactylus under the same dead cow we turned on our first visit here. Returned to Chiclayo, ate at Restaurant Rara, paid rental car bill (~$670!), checked out, flew Aerobus to Tzra, went to Pensio Alvarana - I became ill very suddenly ~1600 w/ nausea and severe stomach cramps that lasted till I went to sleep. 5 December To bank for money, called Nelly Carillo but she was out 'til tomorrow. Took it easy, as I'm still not well. 6 December Spent ~2 hours w/ Nelly Carillo and gave her 8/21 lizards - she gave me the necessary letter for getting the export permit. Went to the mercado on Avenida de la Marina (Cuadral?) in Pueblo Libre. Back to room after supper, as I'm still a little nauseous and tired.

Greene, H. 1980 6 December (continued) some impressions so far. Lizard biomass must be very high in some parts of the Sechura Desert, on the basis of Dicrodon guttulatum - I saw up to 4 under a small tree, and conservatively, 20 under a "bush" with a diameter of 10m - there might have been several times that many. Plus Phyllodactylus, Tropidurus , and the occasional Colopistes. My impression was that there were many more juveniles, females (and subadult males?) than there were large adult males - those with the brightest blues and reds on the foreparts. It may have been the case that there was one such male/large group of "others" - but I'm uncertain and it might be very difficult to study this. Several times I saw a Dicrodon travel fairly fast (but not at escape speed) across an open space and then go down a burrow - as if it knew the location very precisely. as I probably mentioned earlier, these lizards hand wave extremely frequently, especially just after moving. The two species of Tropidurus I saw at Cerro la Vieja were very reminiscent of Sceloporus - occidentalis or an undulatus or an

Here, H. 1980 6 December (continued) divaceos and T. koepeleorum of an ocellti — although I'd guess both Tropidurus were more easily approached than S. ocellti . The near absence of snakes was striking , and my impression from talking with people was that they are infrequently seen and that perhaps Oxyrhopus fitzingeri and Micruroides schmidti were the only ones that are "commonly" encountered. John Bowling knew of Zeplolyphlops or Amphisbaena or both, tho I wasn't sure he could distinguish them. He and Julius Boos had heard of a viper found in the quebradas , but neither had seen one. Two things emphasize the scarcity of snakes: (1) We drove the road from Talara to Negritos for three nights to and from, w/out seeing any, nor did I see a dead or live snake in over 1800 km driven in NW Peru. (2) at no time did we see snake tracks in the sand , though those of lizards (mainly Dierodon I suppose) were very common.

Greene, H. 1980 7 December Sick as a dog! Allowed Galapagos to run loose in shower - when approached frontally w/ a hand, it open mouth threatens, hisses lightly once, and "nervously" thrashes the tail (posterior part of it). 8 December Still sick. Mark went to Chile tonight, since there's nothing for him to do here. 9 December Turned in paperwork for export permit. Still sick, getting better. 10 December During Lima Prov. tour Left Museo Javier Prado w/ Nelly Carillo & the museum taxidermist, by taxi, then small bus to this town. Two attempts on my billfold, one by an old man and one by an Indian woman with a baby. Not a bad ride - we were sitting - and we arrived 8/10:30. Walked 3-4 km to the beach: SW of town through fields along dry river bed, just S (?) of the huge Ruinas de Pachacamac, across Pan- American Hwy, down to water's edge. Saw many Homeniscus sp. on the ground in cave and on small trees and boulders along the way - and no other lizards where they were. Caught 8-10 w/ noose, not difficult. Males are olive green w/ yellow facial stripes

Greene, H. 1980 10 December (continued) and yellow ventral markings. These latter consist of a yellow blotch over the chest, another over the vent and a midventral yellow stripe connecting the two. The yellow is quite bright, almost slightly orange. The females are dark gray and brown and smaller. Since this wasn't on my collecting permit, Nelly kept them all. Once on the beach and nearly we encountered several Tropidurus pleurians. Some were seen foraging on wet sand then running from to the cobblestone shelf beyond the sand - into which they quickly escaped when chased. I photographed and caught 2 male that took refuge in small piles of great trash in the sandy sparsely grassy field beyond the cobblestones. Nelly said that when she brought Paulo Vanzolini here several years ago there were much outcrops and T. pleurians was much more common. Walked back had a coke at a roadside bar, and took bus back to Ijima - one of those little blue ones w/ arms and legs dangling out windows, which was shorter than I was and in the aisle of which I stood for 1 hour!

There, H. 1980 11 December Picked up export permit and visited Nelly at the Museo. Took numerous photographs for her. She says Bothrops lasiurus ranges from Trujillo north, and B. pictus from hence south. Went to the mercado on Avenida de la Marina (cuadra 10) in Pueblo Libre in the afternoon. 12 December Paid bill and left for airport at 0730. Amusing argument about quality of Braniff service between older gentleman and clerk. Left on time, legzards in coat pockets, no problems. Great views and several photos as we flew down the cordillera and central valley of Chile. Met at airport by Fabian Taksic and friend; no problems with customs. Learned that Fabian and Mark saw a Philodryas at Los Dominicos and caught a huge scale Callopistes maculatus - they found it under a log which also covered its burrow (log was approx 1.5 m x 1.5 m). They dug up the burrow, approx 1 m & 15 cm under surface, parallelly and under a partially buried tree limb or root. They got the lizard though broke it's tail. They also collected Liolaemus fuscus, L. nitidus, L. monticola, and L. lenticulatus. After some supper and showers, a nice get together at Bernardita's house.

Greene, H. 1980 13 December Rented car and visited Hermann Nuñez at the Natural History Museum. Saw live Tachygnis peruviana, a slow moving, inoffensive snake. Examined the callopistes Mark caught - only one feeble attempt to bite and no "gizz lips" a la C. flavipunctatus. After map, took off to the hill near town. Fondo San Carlos de Aporquindo, Los Dominicos, 20 Km (air) E. Santiago, Santiago Prov., Chile This is open grassland w/ scattered shrubs (Baccharis, Muhlerbechic) and short Acacia trees, flanked by steep slopes of protional and some nice rock outcrops. A very hot day tho a little snow can be seen on the peaks of the nearby ridge. Photographed L. monticola on top of rock wall, >= 1.5m high, basking perpendicular to late afternoon sun. Dialemsus lemniscatus in yellow grass and on ground - very cryptic and wary - you see only a fleeting shadow and this little lizard is 1-3 m away and often still under the grass. I suspect it of lateral undulation and limb folding, but the movements are so fast and obscured by the grass that I couldn't be sure. Saw an adult Callopistes maculatus cross the road and then run

Greene, H. 1980 13 December along the edge of it. Paused, I jumped (continued) out for one picture and then we tried to close on it with the car, to no avail - ran off into a dense scrub. 14 December Picked up Hermann Nuñez and headed north. First stopped for breakfast in Zampa, N 37 km (nd) N of Santiago, near the E slopes of the coastal range. Then drove N 7 km by road to a public park called El Taco de Zampa. This is a broad flood plain E of the foothills of the coastal range, with numerous shrubs, especially Mullenbeckia surrounded by very fine sand. Here we saw several Callopistes maculatus active 8/10 - 11:00 AM. One I saw was moving ahead of me on a path w/ a dark object in its mouth that appeared 2-4 cm in diameter, perhaps a scarab beetle. The other I photographed from 3/m beneath a bush - it head jerked several times vertically whenever I moved. The latter was a big one w/ much orange on the throat. Thence we drove on to Til-Til, stopping to photograph an Athene burrow and the owls - there was a Callopistes (?) tail drag mark in the entrance sand. Next spent a lot of time trying to reach San Robles, w/out

Eventually reached Parque Nacional (continued) de Cerro la Campana, and drove almost to the summit, caught several Geolamus ferus on tree trunks, including a brilliant green male. Also saw 2 d. schwedleri and noosed 1. Had a good empanada before starting the long drive back to Santiago via Quillota. Forgot to mention that we saw numerous caracozas and at least two nice Chilean eagles in flight (near the crest of the coastal range), and that we tried unsuccessfully to catch a small Collopistes. It ran into a burrow in a roadbank as we were driving on a dirt road on the coastal side of the highest ridge we crossed (ie., as we were unsuccessfully attempt to drive N. to Cerro Pobles). It ran in a burrow and escaped from a back entrance 1/2 m up slope as Hermann dug after it. The day was marred by a bad argument w/ Math and a flat tire on the Panamerican Hwy driving home. 15 December Went to permit office, successfully, and to Bariloche. Had nice tour of Universidad Catolica and gave seminar on snakes.

Greene, H. 1980 16 December Mark stayed behind and I left w/ Fabian Jaksic at 0800 for Jampa. Had breakfast and contracted w/ the restaurant owner to have kids collect us some Callopietes. Next drove over the coast ranges, stopping to photograph acacia savannah on the E. slope looking back down the valley. Drove via Quillota to Concon, thence just landward of a large dune system to Quintero. It was cooler and somewhat foggy and overcast on the wasted side of the range. Finally stopped Ritoque 7 km (rd.) S. Quintero, Chile This is a small group of houses at a delapidated pier on a core, formerly (?) a prison for political prisoners. Facing the sea, there are low, regular, plant topped dune mounds, and here we saw several Liolemus nigrosquaculatus - they were extremely wary, and we caught none. This was approx 1300 and relatively cool and overcast. Next we walked onto the steep boulder coast, actually a point, to the right of the pier. Here we saw many L. nigrosquaculatus, males and females and by approx 1430 it was quite warm and sunny and they were

Greene, H. 1980 16 December more easily moozed - we caught 19 and a (continued) single diolaenus lemniscatus . The latter was basking on a small low boulder in grass, near the pier. It curled its tail in the air as I approached. The D. nigromaculatus were noteworthy for their aggressiveness - they twisted and bit very fiercely. Several seen to head butt and feces were prominent on some of their boulders. We observed two feeding, both by short rushes at small items - one (still in mouth when moozed) was a little (x5 x2) tan coleopteran . Left x1530 and drove N. along the coast a few km to a restaurant overlooking the beach. Had eligos (sea urchin gorado saw - I ate x1/2 my bowl - they're awful) and some great seafood empanadas. Then drove back to Janpa by same route, stopping to photograph overgrazing (goats) as we crossed the coast range. Bought a nice Callopistes from a horse train in Janpa for $2.00 and arranged to return tomorrow for more. Nice day - no problems, lots of lizards, and a pleasant companion!

Greene, H. 1980 17 December Went to los Dominicos ≈10:00 w/ Fabian and Patricio Sanchez, head of the Instituto de Ciencias Biologicas at the Universidad Catolica. Overcast and cool, and we saw and caught only 1 Diolaemus lemniscatus. Driving back down a dirt road we saw a caracara in the road pecking and releasing a lizard, which it flew off w/ when we approached. Fabian thought the prey was probably a Z. monticola , and if so it was a large one. Next drove to Jangpa and bought 4 freshly caught Colopistes maculatus from some kids and collected 2 fresh feces from the panel they were in. Had great lunch - fried empanadas and calzuela of beef, squash, green beans, potatoe, and rice- Back to Universidad Catolica for goodbys. From ≈1600 - 1730 searched a rock wall at los Dominicos for Diolaemus monticola and caught 5/8 seen. There was a stiff, chilly wind blowing perpendicular to the wall, and all of the lizards were on the leeward side- more of them were perched on tops the wall, as they were under warm sunny conditions on the 15th. Fabian saw a Philodryas chamissonis

Saw hundreds of Tanicha on dirt road leading to the lagoons and in the water, and various stages of courtship, egg-laying, and egg eating. Heard a few Hyla regilla [illegible] around the lagoons (none seen and no eggs) and found a few Batrachoseps under logs. While we ate lunch under a small oak grove a young mule deer walked slowly by, feeding. It seemed not to even see us, perhaps because we were motionless and because there were several nearby snags on its horizon. About 10 m from us it suddenly froze, flared its nostrils repeatedly, and moved its head laterally several times as if trying to see whatever it smelled. Nice walk. Also saw feces

Next drove around to other entrance and walked to the lagoons. Saw plenty of newts, but not nearly as many as yesterday and they seemed more wary. Seemed that I saw more towards mid-pond than yesterday. 20 February Briar Regional Park, Cortina Costa Co., California Went to the Alhambra Valley entrance w/ graduate students and Zool 107 class. Cool, sunny, very windy. Met at 0800, walked to lower lagoons, where we saw many fewer Taricha than two weeks ago - also saw well developed eggs, some hatched masses, and some eaten masses. Several Hyla regilla pairs and a few egg masses. At the second pond, a Rana aurora (?) egg mass ~40cm from shore w/ tadpo hatching - whole clutch is ~1 round, floating, ~20cm diameter. At the larger Simodeitch lagoon no Clemmys but many Taricha - again it looks like this pond is delayed relative to the

I pickled the salamander (HWC 1063) and measured the Diadophis (SV + tail): 305+70; 210+45; 143+30. 19 April Mt. St. Helena, Napa Co., California Hiked to near base of one peak, ~6-8 mi round trip, w/ Kristine, Kent, and Carl Tollestrup. Cold and foggy, yet when some sun came out briefly, we saw numerous Sceloporus, including some S. graciosus. These were on rocks and snags, and some escaped into holes under embedded rocks. 23 April Drove to Sacramento in early afternoon, and as I crossed the range around Fairfield I saw a hawk (red-tail?) fly over dangling an unidentified snake. 8 May Left Berkeley last night at ~1900 w/ Kurt Schwerke, Robert Seib, and John Carothers.

Trails Hwy, to a point well W. of Jeff Kaufman's study site (this is a few hundred meters W. of where there are currently two small RR buildings next to the tracks). Arrived back at car @1430 (this is PDSST). We saw few lizards 'til ~ noon, after which we saw quite a few Uma, Diplsosaurus, and Cnemidophorus. Early in the AM we noosed a pair of Urosaurus gracilis on the dead, E facing low branches of a creoste bush. @1500 I photographed and noosed another osleep (?!) on low grass in dune sand. At 10:25 AM Robert sighted a Shrike perched on a lava boulder, and through binoculars I saw that it was holding an adult Phrynosoma platyplinos. The Phrynosoma when set free was immobile, slowly flattened, and tilted toward the Shrike. When we rushed the shrike to attempt to get the lizard, it flew off and circled 90° to a ridge ~100m away.

Then Robert spotted an adult Gopherus agassizii resting on a lava spire ~50cm high, which I mooed and photographed. John found two Gopherus agassizii on the lava flow at an area of clay-like soil, where there were two fairly freshly dug areas. Were these places where the tortoises "mined" minerals ala R.W. Marlow? One was a large and one was a medium tortoise. I saw and missed 1 Gopherus and John cought a juvenile. We later (~7:30pm) stomach flushed both that we caught but recovered no food. Saw numerous Uta but caught none. Left ~1430 and ate at a restaurant in Indio, where there was a huge sign about what to do if someone clubbed on their food on the exit door, very visible as we were eating!

Also 1 DOR Phrynosoma platyphium. 9 May Up ~0700, breakfast in Yucca Valley, and on S. Got a DOR (fresh) Arizona elegans at the intersection of Snow Creek Rd. & Hwy 111. Then drove up the canyon. Hunted on boulder strewn slopes just west of Snow Creek Village, at the end of Snow Creek Rd. Saw many Uta, petrosaurus, Sceloporus orcutti, Saurornalus thresus. No snakes. Left ~noon, drove to La Cahuilla County Park for lunch and rest. Saw a kestrel fly over numerous times for ~2 hrs w/ a Cnemidophorus in it's talons. ~16:30-1800 on rocky slopes ~1/mile SE Cahuilla Park - saw Uta but nothing else. Road hunted to Barstow via Juarene Valley, got motel. 10 May Drove to Darwin Falls via Kramer Jct. & Trona.

The latter was very dry, there were very few flowers, and I saw few insects. At the more northern localities (including the Darwin Falls area) there are many flowers, including barrel & prickly pear cacti, creosote bush, and others I can't ID. Also, at the N. sites we saw and heard many diverse insects. If anything it was hotter at Pisgah. We saw a fresh DOR (not saved, ant. missing) Masticophis flagellum 16.4 mi N. #395 at Trona Rd. Got gas and food in Trona. Stopped at intersection of Panamint Valley Rd. & Hwy 190 to noose several Dipsosaurus - which were concentrated around the taller creosote bushes adjacent to Panamint Valley Rd. We noted a marked decrease in them among the shorter, less lush bushes away from the road. Saw 2 Grotaphytus vicinctor as we drove in the Darwin Rd. to park spot, and caught one. Got 3 more walking canyon walls, then walked to the falls. Saw several juvenile Bufo boreas (punctatus hybrids?) and Robert found 3 fresh Felis concolor

Got FOR C. castes (4), C. satchelli (2), Septotylphlops (1), Ichmanusa (1), and several Coleonyx. Slept till 0800, even though we woke up in full sun. 11 May Darwin Falls Canyon, Inyo Co., California Walked around the canyon - numerous Uta, Callisaurus, Gnenidophorus, Sauromalus, and I noosed and photographed 1 Crotaphytus. Kurt spotted and we photographed a subadult (?) sauromalus ~1/2 m up in a creosote bush taking fast gulps of flowers; the bush swayed each time the lizard moved. It eate for a few seconds as we watched from many meters downslope, and then it abruptly descended. John saw a red-tailed hawk w/ a Sauromalus. Robert caught a claspig pair of Bufo punctatus.

Greene, H. 1981 15 may were crawling when found. The Hyla was (continued) numerous transforming individuals around the margin of the above mentioned pond. 16 May Bismos Regional Park, Contra Costa Co. California Returned again today w/ other half of the Zool 107 class. This time went immediately to old archery range, where it seemed cool, shady and relatively moist. Saw 2 Ensatina, 2 Batrachoseps, and 1 G. multicarinatus there. Back down in the valley, including the pond at its upper end, we saw several Sceloporus, Genhonorus, and a Thamnophis couchi (perhaps the same ? as yesterday). 22 May Left Berkeley just before 2400 last night and drove to California City w/ Kurt Schwersh and James Stewart (Univ. Tulsa, former MVZ student). Walked around creosote scrub at SW corner of (and off of) the Desert Tortoise Reserve, ~5 mi N. California City. Saw 3 Gopherus and quite a few lizards: Cnemidophorus, Uta, Callisaurus, and Phrynosoma platyrhinos. 4/5 Phrynosomas we got while driving slowly on a dirt road. Got room at the Driftwood and mapped til ~5:30. Ate supper in Mojave then drove out Oak Creek Rd. ~9 mi W(?) of Mojave we turned Joshua Tree logs for ~45 minutes - got ~20

Greer, H. 1981 22 May Xantusia vigilis, 2 Sceloporus magister, (continued) and 1 Uta. I found a very large scorpion under one log, and caught it. Next drove to "Grasshopper Wash" - place where Kristine Tollestrup and I found Phymozona coronatum - and turned several sheets of tin. By then it was dark (~2230) and we rode hunted via Willow Springs Rd, Oak Creek Rd, Hwy 14, Phillips Rd, dirt roads E. of Neuralia Rd., and Neuralia Rd. Got a nice large gravid (?) C. cerastes w/ir 1/2 mile of where I got an even larger gravid 2 years ago. Also 2 Phincheilus lecontei AOR, which seemed to be actively crawling. Later I palpated the Crotalus to see if her girth might be due to food but couldn't feel anything. 23 May After breakfast we headed for Pisgah Crate, interrupted by a flat in Barstow. First stopped at a black lava flow a few miles W. of usual spot (near Hector Rd exit from I-40). Saw numerous Cnemidophorus, Uta, Callisaurus, a few Uma, and a couple of Sauroides also several Dipsozaurus and one of a large Gopherus. Photographed

Greese, H. 1981 23 May a large adult Saurornalus and then (continued) caught it out of a device for RCS to paint. Next drove to usual stopping point N. of the route - saw Collisaurus and Cnemidophorus but by now (12/15) lizards are hot and very wary and I can't get my damaged pole close enough. Pisgah is still dry looking, thus there are some buds on the Yarea and an occasional yellow flower. Also seems I'm seeing more flies and grasshoppers than we observed two weeks ago. Caught a few lizards. Drove to Mojave and started out Oak Creek Rd, had flat, fixed it in Mojave, and returned to a Joshua Tree spot 2.9 mi from town. Got ~25 Tantasia, 2 Sceloporus magister, and a Uta. Drove to "Grasshopper Wash", 3.7 mi from Oak Creek Rd on Willow Springs Rd (toward Tehachapi). Turned trash and drove dirt road looking for Phrynosoma. Found adult Euneces gilberti under a sheet of plywood, and a Uta under another. Also two Scelopendra. Ate supper in Mojave, then road hunted on Phillips Rd., Nevaria Rd., and Cal City Blvd. (the part that connects to Hwy 58). Got

Greene, H. 1981 23 May Pitvophis, Arizona Chisosacta, and (continued) Crotalus scutulatus, 24 May Drove to Darwin Falls by way of Randolbyz and Trona. Stopped at rock pile S. of Searsles Rd Jct. - saw Scelopous magister and Uta. Arrived at Darwin Falls = 1330, after stopping at Jct. Panamint Valley Rd & 190 where we saw no lizards - in contrast to two weeks ago. Noosed a Crotaphytus bicinctores on a rock above the parking spot & pickled it w/in 1 hour. On walk to falls saw many Bufo boreas adults and tads. Drove to turn off above the usual place - this is 6.4 mi from 190 on Darwin Rd., and then went 1.2 miles to where several people from Berkeley were camped. Ate supper and at dusk went a short distance down the road to where Ed Hesho found a Crotalus mitchelli among plants on the canyon floor. As we drove out to road hunt after dark I got another crossing the dirt. Road hunted on Hwy 190 'till = 2330 - got several Geonys and 2 Phyllodhynclus decrystatus.

Greene, H. 1981 30 May (below lower Maisich Jagoon, I. couchi (continued) in lower Maisich Jagoon, coluber constrictor on bank by little Sindicish Jagoon, and Clemmys marmorata basking on log in Big Sindicich Jagoon near shore. 3 June Coral Hollow area, Alameda/San Joaquin Counties California Left Berkeley for here approx 1630, spent some time watching birds on Mines Rd. then started down Tesla/Coral Hollow Rd. Before dark (still sunny approx 1900) found a approx 4' Lituophis crawling across pavement - extremely aggressive, hissing, striking, tail vibrating. Around Castle Rock we saw owls, Anthozous, and horned larks. After dark road-hunted from the Pass to I-5 twice, and found numerous Scaphiopus hammondi, 1 large Janpropeltis getulus crawling across the road, and a Lyncx rufus that walked quickly across in front of us. 8 June Mallory Ranch, Morgan Territory Rd, Contra Costa Co, California arrived here approx 1000 hr w/ Cindy Mayer, Frank Hall, and 3 other Cal Fish & Game biologists and toured the ranch by truck

Hare, H. 1981 8 June (continued) by a ravine w/ scattered oaks. The spot is 0.4 mi N. of a mailbox w/ the address of 12520 Morgan Territory Rd. Took photos. Ordway Ranch Vasco Rd., Contra Costa Co. California Spent about 1 hour here walking in oak woodland (including small, boulder-strewn canyons), including the place where two juvenile Masticophis lateralis (HWG 105-6) were collected in April by Fish and Game personnel (they saw 4 in two days at this site). This is an enormous cattle ranch of grassland (from Vasco Rd W. to the base of the E-facing slope), bounded by the steep ridge that is also the E. boundary of the Mallery Ranch. The lower slopes are mainly blue oak, and it is a truly beautiful place! 30 June Went to Conal Hollow Rd., Alameda-San Joaquin Co., to Rd hunt w/ Roger S. Thorp, a herpetologist from England. Found a just-hit subadult Pitophis on Mines Rd., a very large AOR Pitophis on Tesla Rd., and an AOR yearly Grotalus viridis on Conal Hollow Rd. It got quite chilly just after dark, and we saw the last snake just as darkness fell. All snakes saved.

Greene, H. 1980/1 1 July Sunol Valley Regional Wilderness, Alameda Co., California. Turned on Geary Rd @ 0830 hr, sky sunny & warm. Lynx rufus crossed road from a steep slope to the SW toward high grass and trees to the NE. I stopped and got a good look -seemed curious at the clicking noises I made, but disappeared as I started to walk across the road to it. @ 100 m further there are 3 Urocyon (2 seem to be pups) on the side, and they also allow fairly close approach. There are literally 100s of Spermophilus beechyi everywhere, even climbing on tree trunks (started, downed ones that is). Arrived at entrance to Sunol Wilderness Park and met naturalists including Tony ?, who is stationed at Del Val - he's seen 3 Felis concolor this year! Drove on a dirt road (@ 3 miles?) to Camp Ohlone, where I gave a talk on reptile biology. On the way found a DOR Lampropeltis getulus w/ obvious food in it - later proved to be a fairly big Crotalus constrictor. @ 1100 hr, as we sat in the shade in an open area at the camp, a large Crotalus viridis crawled

Greene, H. 1981 1 July (continued) behind us. It had a short, parallel sided rattle strin, was well over lm long, and didn't have palpable food. Also scarcely rattled, though it struggled vividly when pinned. A very green snake. The naturalists report that Crotalus is very common here, plus Gopherus agassizii, Phrynosoma coronatum, San propeltis zonata, and Hypsiglena -- and maybe Gambelia. It is a floristically very diverse, topographically diverse, beautiful place. Returned to Berkeley ≈ 1400. 9 July Flew to Seattle, met Kristine Tollestrup, and drove to eastern Oregon to look for Phrynosoma douglasii. Drove south through Portland, to Redmond, then W. past Sisters to Indian Ford Campground for the night. 10 July Next morning looked around in an area of conifers near Santiam Pass, but no lizards. Then drove to Fort Rock, Lake Co., arriving ≈ 1400hr. Walked around 'til ≈ 1600 but saw only Uta and/or Sceloporus gracilioris. Saw numerous live and dead Jepus and lots of feces, and my impression is that the labyrinthine pattern of open space

Greer, H. 1981 10 July among the sage is caused by the rabbits. (continued) Fort Rock is a large two sickle shaped plug that juts out of flat sage country. As one drives on Hwy 31 from Ja Pine, the landscape changes from spruce-fir (?) to yellow pine to pinon/juniper on slopes to sage flats, and the area around Fort Rock is largely uninterrupted sage flats w/ very sandy soil. There are occasional lava rock outcrops and a few other plants (eg. Indian paintbrush). Late in the afternoon we stopped ~1 mi N of Fort Rock, to turn numerous boards just N of a hay field but saw only uta and/or sceloporus. I inadvertently smashed an ad 5. gracilis that was in a large, very old log I tore open; collected it. Also stopped 5.0 mi NNW Fort Rock PO but saw nothing. Went to Ja Pine for supper and a motel. 11 July 5.0 mi NNW Fort Rock Post Office, Jaholo, Oregon Arrived here ~1000 hr to find ground hot, though air still cold. Walked around to the N of the road til ~noon, then S off it for ~30 minutes. The general area is sketched here:

Greene, H. 1981 11 July (continued) [illegible] We found 3 Phrynus douglasi in a fairly small area (~10-15m on a side) bordering on the rocky outcrop. First was a F ~80mm TL that was in full sun at the edge of an ant mound & very hard to see. Second was a small M (38+12 mm) that I found when it ran a short (~1/8") distance on the rocky outcrop. This place was ~2 m from a [illegible] displaying S. graciosa, which I collected. The third P. douglasi was on the shady side of a rock, ~.5 m from an ant nest. According to Kristine, each of these was near a red ant (Pogonomyrmex) nest, but their faces and the other Phrynus scuts she checked here contain another black & red ant.

Greer, H. 1981 11 July (continued) The letter will occur in the junk of sage, so perhaps that is where P. douglasii forages. K.T. also found a dried and partially eaten (bugs?) Eunectes on the outcrop. We left ~ 1300 and drove to Tacoma via Santiam Pass and Salem. 17 July Left Berkeley ~0730 h and drove to Pisgah Water, San Bernardino Co., w/ H.E. Baker. Bought groceries in Bakersfield and arrived for supper at Pisgah ~1900. Started to road hunt ~2100, just after large, orange ~ full moon came up. Drove E to RR, then ~ 10 miles W, then to RR and stopped. Got two small Crotalus cerastes. Just after midnight something stung/bit Beth (we found out in her sleeping bag) and because she developed a whelt, apillary soreness, and numbness in her arm and hand, we drove to Barstow. Got gas and coffee and pancakes, and by then she was better so we returned to camp. Saw a Canis latrans cross the road going back. 18 July Pisgah Water, San Bernardino Co., California walked around from ~0900-1145 h, starting at Jeff Kaufmann's Uva study site (this is ~ SSW of a little

Left Cal City ≈12 and drove to Darwin Falls via Trona. Saw ad. Cryptophytis in the talus slope just below the falls as we walked out ≈1830, in shade. Also Callisaurus, juvenile Uta, and many very small Bufo. Road hunted from Parnavit Valley Rd to the vista point ≈10.3 miles W on Hwy 170 twice, but saw only ≥1 Coleonyx ad 1 Phyllorhynchus AOR. One gecko was an adult nongravid ♀ at the jet of Darwin Rd and Hwy 170 which we released. 20 July Up early, walked slowly to falls and stayed till noon. Saw numerous Callisaurus in the dry wash part of the canyon, but Cnemidophorus only in the mesic stream-side situations - I even watched one forage on a large boulder in the stream in full shade. Collected 7 Bufo boreas active in and near aquatic vegetation in shade. Left after 12 and had lunch in Olancha. Then stopped in sparse Joshua tree area on Hwy 178 just W of Robber's Roost - got on Fantusia under a

(continued) Next drove through Kern River Canyon, stopping for a swim at "Sandy ?", a sort of picnic spot reached via the second R turn after taking the Borel / Miracle Spring camp turnoff. This is steep slopes w/ lots of grass, some oaks, poison oak, Coulters Pines and many boulders. Here saw several Sceloporus occidentalis on boulders among trees, near the river. Saw at least two Uta on a dirt bank around shrubs along the road just below where we parked. Arrived Berkeley ~ 2 AM on the 21st. 22 July Today Ward C. Russell brought in an enormous Thamnophis couchi that he found 6 feet under water in a fish trap. I weighed, measured, and photographed the snake (HW6/129). (Correction: crayfish trap.)
