Collected three Callisaurus (see species account). Drove to Joshua Tree for groceries and tire repair, then returned to camp at Stubby Springs.

Looked at steel traps on hill N of camp; two had been disturbed, apparently by rodents. Walked W. from hill, eventually dropping into large canyon which forms from canyon in which spring is found. This becomes a rocky gorge of about 300' - 400' depth, and is very rough. Air temp. at 5:00 A.M. was 10.6° C. The day was clear and cloudless and soon became warm. Collected a new-bom (?) Xantusia from under banks on dead Joshua Tree log. Climbed wall of gorge and worked S., coming onto Stubby Spring from the W. Collected Scrub-Jay,
