J.Rodgers-1942 Emmerea g.gilberti April 29 Mrs.Vert, Zool., Univ.Calif., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Cal. 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
