J. Rodgers -1942 55 Eumeces skiltonianus Dec. 17, 1942 Mrs. Vert. Zool., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. (continued report of collecting 1 3/4 mi. SE Bald Peak, 150 ft., C.C. Co.) rocks, most of them under flat rocks 1" to 3" thick. At least four of them must have been digging recently— judging from loose dirt near them in the hollow. They usually fit the cavity rather snugly. About 6 Sceloporus were seen, all in torpid condition, laid out straight under rocks in loose dirt. Loose dirt was scattered over their backs, making them hard to see at first glance. The weather was cool and over sunny, with tule fog surrounding Mt. Diablo and probably Walnut Creek. Berkeley was overcast with a high fog.
