Murray 1949 2 Eumeces skiltonianus Aug 22 Schoolhouse Peak, 2900+ ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. outcroppings. Found only a pile of shed skin fragments under one. Aug 25 1 mi S Coyote Bar, Humboldt Co., Calif. Cogswell saw one active at 1:00 PM in broken oak woodland. Mostly dead leaves, with a few scattered rocks. In the open on a very warm afternoon. Aug 26 2 mi N Hoopa, Humboldt Co., Calif. At 1:30 PM saw a small blue tail dart off of road into bushy growth. Bright hot day. Sept 1 3 mi N Willow Creek, 700 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. saw a fairly large individual run across the road about 40 ft. ahead of me. Dry south- west facing slope, mostly black oak with some Douglas fir and madrone. A little parched poison oak and very dry leaf litter. A very hot bright sun was beating down. At that point it was somewhat broken by the trees. The shiner ran back again when I disturbed the leaf litter in which it was hiding, 1:30 PM Slightly farther on saw a small blue tail run across about 30 ft. ahead, again into a small patch of leaves at the base of a bank. Chased it through several little hiding spaces. Each time it wriggled violently
