J. Rodgers -1940 39 Ennecea gilberts Mar. 12 Mus Vert. Zool., Univ. Cal.; Berkeley, Alameda Co., Cal. 22 and 14 each ate a meal worm that has been dipped in Sansostol. They ate it very hesitately. They must have gotten a good drop each Mar. 13 No. 6 has been sick for some time. It gaps its mouth, and is getting thin. To-day I gave her it one meal worm (with head taken off) that has been dipped in Sansostol. July 16 A meal worm was crawling down into the crumbly dirt of the bottom of the cage. About 1/3 of its length still showed, and that was among clods of about 1/16 to 3/16 inches in diameter. A sceloporus made several stable at it, but failed to get hold of it. A skink came along, moved down between the clods and took the meal worm, with, apparently, no trouble at all! Aug. 17 979 died to-day. It has been very thin and inactive for the last two or three weeks. Oct. 28 The following is measurements and weights of the specimens in captivity. They have not been fed since Saturday (Oct. 26). They are also scaled down on the basis of probing the femipores. May 6 No. 6 died. (see pg. 1,3,17,22,28,39 +)
