Greene, H. 1990 August 9 (continued) flattened on the round stones w/ head facing out, as if basking. Straight-sided, broken off rattle sting. Dining at the Portal store and then left to wool hunt ~1830 h. Clear, a little cool, and felt moist- some clouds and lightening to the SW, and a large yellow moon later in the evening. 22.4 mi SW State Line Rd. on Hwy 80 at 1925 h we scooted a ~yearly HOR Pitophis melanoceus off the road. Kept 2 Sistrurus catenatus, a fleshly hit C. atrox, and a DOR Rhinocheilus lecontei, plus an NOR Bufo olearius. The sistrurus were snappy: initially stretched out and immobile, slightly flattened. When touched they crawled rapidly, then jerked into striking coils w/ heads cocked up, rattling, stench, then crawled rapidly again. August 10 Met George Roderick (former UCB grad student, now U. Maryland) and went to the Kretz Ranch in the San Bernardino Valley, at the jct. of Kucha Canyon Rd. and U.S. Hwy 80 saw Eureces obselius, Sceloporus undulatus, and Cnemidophorus uniparens under rocks. Saw a C. uniparens enter a Dipodomyx spectabilis mound when I approached, good way for it to get caught by a sistrurus. At Mulberry Draw we walked around the fence above the arroyo itself, just SW of the U.S. 80 bridge, where I found an adult Eureces obselius under a board at 110 hrs. At ~1500 h George and Jim Ott (a postdoc w/ him) went w/ me to search for
