J. Rodgers - 1942 Erneeca skiltonianus July 20 (cont.) Mrs. Vert. Zool, Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alameda C., Calif. yesterday, we did find moist ground that would be available to sink there. Also, egg no. IV of nest no. 3 had a dent in its side this morning. I added much more water to the cages this morning. In nest no. 2, some water flowed in on the floor under the eggs, otherwise none touched the eggs. As I handled the eggs of nest no. 1, I dropped several about 1/4 inch as I put them in a Syracuse dish. They dented on the end, but the dent popped back out after about 10 seconds. The skink collected July 19 #3411 Z July 21 Nest no. 4 (first nest found in field). Was 10" below surface in loose dirt among rocks. Exact situation could not be described, because it was broken up by pick and 2 eggs broken. The remaining six eggs measured as follows: 12.8 x 9.7 mm, 11.9 x 8.9mm, 12.3 x 8.6mm, 12.5 x 8.9mm, 11.3 x 8.7mm, 10.6 x 7.8mm. Grassy clearing, gently sloping south, within 2 feet of sparsely buttering rocks (each with an area 6" to 10" x 8" to 14" sticking up 3" to 8"). About # 4 ft. south of Umbellularia clump lined with poison oak. 1/2 mi. SW Bald Peak. May 5 July 25 Nest no. 5. Found on west slope of San Pablo Ridge, about 105 feet from ridge, 1/4 mi. N Bald Peak. After about one hour of pickings, a hole about 4' by 6', by 2' deep was opened in the hillside,
