Notes on specimens collected 1 mi. E Clements, San Joaquin
Co., Feb. 22, (T.R.2919 & 2920). Tail of 2919 was blue,
only slightly grayed. No.2920 was faintly greenish
yellow-brown dorsally and very light ventrally-
no pink on any part. The tails of these specimens were
broken upon capture and the pieces were carried in the
box along with the animals. Parts could have been, but
probably were not. One of these was found under a
fence post in a pasture, and the other was found in a
pile of bricks that was completely overgrown with
grass. Notes on specimens collected 1 mi. N Lodi, San
Joaquin Co., Feb.22: Color records of freshly killed
specimens. Dorsal side of brightest tail of young
(T.R. 2940) between Light Methyl Blue and Methyl Blue
(Pl. VIII, 47a). Dorsal lines between Pinkish Buff and
Cinnamon-Buff (Pl XXIX, 17"c). Another very small
one (T.R. 2941) has the blue quite faded; more so than
found in skiltoniana of same age. One larger one(T.R.2943)
has scattered blue spots on dorsal surface of distal
1/3 of tail. Ventral surface of tail pinkish; where the color
is concentrated enough to be keyed, it is Carrot Red
(Pl. XIV, 7'b). Another, larger one (T.R.2944) has a
similar wash on the ventral surface of the proximal
3/3 of tail, but distal 1/3 has been regenerated, and is
much brighter (between Carrot Red and Rufous-Pl.XIV
8',a). Another, of similar size,(T.R.2945) with similarly
regenerated tail has no pink on tail. All have greenish
