J. Rodgers -1942 Eumeces skiltonianus July 5. 2 mi SE Balduca, 1000-1100 ft, Contra Costa Co., Calif. Alden Miller, Dan McTaggart Cowan, Bob Flannery and I arrived at the east end of the Broadway tunnel at 6:15 am. and hiked up the hill to the south of a point about 200 yards [near] east of the tunnel. When we got to the top, we found ourselves facing a strong cold wind and a dense fog that whipped across the ridge and obscured all vision more than 50-75 yards ahead of me. We found many rocks to turn over, but in 2 hrs. of searching, found only one (large young) skink, two Sceloporus, two Onides, and about 6 Tritonia. The weather was so cold that our hands were numb. The fog was collecting on the rocks and plants (and us) and running down, collecting around the bottom [of] as well). Large steel transmission towers had streams of water running from their bases, running down over the concrete blocks to which the steel is anchored. The one skink collected was under a rock that was approximately 10" across and 2 1/2" thick. The rock was completely isolated on a grassy flat on the ridge. July 8. Mrs. Vert. Cool, Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. On page 16, note that 4 specimens (WW.Dalquest, 3113, 3114, 3115, 3116) were judged to be gravid
