Murray 1948 Urosaurus microscutatus May 19 Trinunfo, 1700 ft., Baja Calif. Shot with sling shot after first being seen on the rocky ground of a dry hillside. When first disturbed the lizard ran a short way up a small mesquite and remained motionless. Changed to another branch twice before I was able to hit it. A male, the throat was a rich rusty orange with just a tinge of blue in several of the scales. Around the jaws and the rest of the ventral side was a deep flecked gray with the tail a little darker. Two long blue patches almost covered the belly, partially joined, deeper color toward the center.
