Murray 1949 Eumeces skiltonianus Aug 20 French Camp, 3000 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. Caught 1 small blue tail which darted under a mass of dried bracken fern leaves. Very dry slope of brush, mostly chinquapin, tan oak, manzanita. Low growth of bracken fern. Edge of an old road. Bright, warm sun at 11:30 A.M. Sizard very active and agile. Aug 22 Schoonhouse Peak, 2900 ft, Humboldt Co., Calif. Went down to this area in morning from French Camp. Rolling grassy hillside pasture, grazed by sheep but not heavily. Grass very dry and 4 to 6 '' high''. There were several rocky outcroppings and scattered loose rocks. One was about 10 ft high and 40x20 ft, well weathered with many cracks and exfoliations. At 9:30 saw a skink slip across about 2ft- of one side and into a crack - moved rapidly. At first was still at surface, then went back deeper. Caught it. Was bright and sunny but had not been really warm for more than 1 hour. Many ground squirrels in the area. Looked further and saw a baby blue tail run several feet under a rock. There was a very small outcropping here. Next to several garry oaks. This was at 10:45''. In the course of the morning turned probably 200 loose rocks, both scattered and around
