J. Rodgers - 1942 Eumeces skiltonianus April 28 Mus. Vert. Zool., Univ. Caly, Berkeley, Alameda C., Caly. blue of the distal 1/4 then lavender in the next to distal 1/4. The orange also extends around onto the dorsal surface, covering all the area of the tail that is not blue - the proximal 1/4. The orange on this male is more extensive than on any males so far collected in the Berkeley Hills (this spring), and the eggs in the female (WWD 3024) are much larger than in any female so far taken in the Berkeley Hills. The season down at Big Sur is evidently much ahead of the season here. May 11 Mus. Vert. Zool., Univ. Caly, Berkeley, Alameda C., Caly. From skinks, judged to be mature and possibly gravid, that Walt Dalgren collected near Grizzly Peak yesterday are being kept alive. They are each in separate compartments of terraria. It is hoped that they will lay eggs and data can be obtained as to time required for hatching, etc. These four skinks are in his catalogue as 3113, 3114, 3115, 3116.
