Sept. 8 3 mi. S.E. Joshua Tree P.O., San Bernardino Co., Calif.
Drove up side road off H'way (to Joshua Tree)
to the same ly. wash which runs below
Quail Spring. Collected three Callisaurus
(see species account). Drove to Joshua
Tree for groceries and tire repair, then
returned to camp at Stubby Springs.
On the return trip to camp, saw
three Golden Eagles (ident. A.H.Miller)
soaring rather low. This was about
4 mi. S.E. Joshua Tree P.O.
Sept. 9 Stubby Spring, 4500 ft., Riverside Co., Calif.
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,
