Murray 1948 Journal Apr 10 Punta San Felipe, 50± ft., Baja California hopping around the front porch, unconcernedly picking up seeds. It ignored activity and noise from within and allowed us to move slowly around it. Later one was in back of the house and one also turned up in the shed. This fellow was quite tame and perched on our hands without struggling. Tonight a Perognathus spinatus is running freely around, replacing the formosus which has been around previously every night and become quite tame. (See species account) Today for lunch we had boiled octopus or pulpo as the Mexicans call it. The flavor is quite good but they are tough and rubbery even after considerable cooking, and take some effort to prepare. The temperature reached as maximum today of 80.5°, then again reached that point this evening. Now, 10 PM, there is a stout gusty wind threatening to become quite a gale. What must be an Anniella pulchra turned up in the sand under our dinner table, unfortunately with a smashed head. I thought this was out of their range.
