J. Rodgers - 1940 Itinerary, etc. Mar. 2, 3. Vacaville and 1-5 mi. NW & NW, Solano Co., Calif. Mar. 2 about 1:20 p.m. John Chattin, John Gray, and I left Berkeley for a two day trip to Solano Co., primarily to collect skinks. The weather was clear and warm. We drove to Vacaville, then angled off to the NW about 4 mi. by road to a place on the Pleasant Valley cross that we figured by maps to be 3 mi. NW Vacaville. We collected about 30 specimens of reptiles and amphibians there including 8 skinks. They were under rocks or grassy hillside; Some brush nearby. We traveled SW to other to a rocky ridge about 1 1/2 mi. N Vacaville. John Chattin saw one skink there (under a board). We traveled on up N and NW on some little oiled roads, and camped in an abandoned farm yard about 5 mi. NNW Vacaville Mar. 3, we got up about 6:30, put our specimens in formalin (labeled them) and left about 9:00 am. This day we drove to Winters, up Putah Cr. to Pleasant Valley, south to [illegible] Fairfield and then up Susan Creek. we camped 1 mi. S Lake Curry. 1 mi. S Lake Curry, Napa Co., Calif. Mar. 4, 1940 About 6:30, we got up and gathered up John Chattin's traps. About 9:00, we left for Berkeley, and arrived there about 11:45 am.

I have heard them in several coves. Have also heard Nyla regilla. I picked up a dead adult skink at the edge of the road in "Cozy Cove" this morning, and saw one run down a cranny under an Arbutus this afternoon. This was in yellow pine, black oak country (some sugar pine). I have also seen Geophagus and Sceloporus here.

To-day Sterburn Cook, Jr., came in and told me that two or three weeks ago he was in Mohave Desert, and while there he collected a large desert gopher snake. "It was very large and pale," he said. He brought it home and some time since then it has escaped...He is now living somewhere out in the edge of Berkeley, so it seems likely that the snake will survive!

J. Rodgers-1940 170B-59 Itinerary, etc. June 26 6 mi. E. Livermore, Alameda Co., Calf. John Chattin and I arrived here at 7:00 am, with picks and shovels, to dig for skinks. We turned over all the loose rocks and picked several tons of rocks out of the ground. All the digging was in the exact place where we have collected skinks on several occasions before. We dug as deep as 2 1/2 feet in some places and 1 1/2 to 2 in many. The ground under * the rocks was very light and soft. A skink could have worked its way thru much of it (*Under the masses of rocks that we picked out). At about the level of the roots there were more holes than anywhere else. There were cracks down among the rocks. The only holes we saw that were definite burrows, were a few tarantula holes. We found one tarantula and about 10 Stenopelmatus. We collected 6 Sceloprus; they were common. We did not find a skink, nor did we find anything that we judged to be a sign of one. Oct. 12 At about 1:20 pm.

Crotalus viridis - 659 +43+43 (7 rattler and button) collected and brought into museum by John Hunter, 3531 West St., Oakland. After this snake was chloroformed (about half an hour after chloroform was allowed to evaporate from cotton in a gallon jar, and about 15 minutes after she had quit moving) we noticed that she was full of something, and, whatever it was, it was moving. We cut her open and found six young. One was out of its membranous bag, but still attached by an umbillicus. It was not the most posterior, as it had worked its way forward. They were very much alive. I would cut the membrane open and reach in with forceps [illegible] and work them out. Two of them struck at the forceps before they had even started out through the hole I had cut. All were willing to strike immediately, but one was weaker than the rest. Three hours later it had died. Eighteen hours later five were still very much alive. I chloroformed them all, and weighed and measured them. Weights and measurements follow on page 172, under numbers 2682-2687.

Stirton, Harvey Frishy, Joe Marshall, Jacob Frenkel, and I started on the first field trip of the Grinnell Naturalists Society. We crossed the two bridges (San Francisco Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge) and traveled north to Santa Rosa then to Guerneville, down the Russian River to Austin Creek, and up Austin Creek to the Berkeley City Camp. There we met several other carloads of fellows and by dark between 20 and 25 had arrived. The camp is among large redwoods on the west bank of Austin Creek. There had not been much rain so far, and the ground under everything that we turned over was dry. Oct. 13 John Davis and I joined the stream and got a quart of fish. We collected Triturus similans and Rana boylii boylii. Along the stream we saw a water ouzel and three wood ducks. Later in the morning we left camp and traveled west along the north bank of the Russian River and looked for tree mice in the Douglas firs trees. All together five or 6 were found. We (my carload) ate lunch at the beach south of the mouth of the Russian River. We traveled south then southeast to Petaluma, east then south, past the old adobe ford, across Bear Point road to Yallie's, across Carquinez Bridge and Lone. We collected Rana aurora aurora 3 1/2 mi. ENE Petaluma. A papoose was collected by one group Oct 12 near San Anselmo,

Street lights were still on and the sky was just lighted up enough that we could see that there were many breaks in the clouds. The roosters were crowing at the poultry station. We walked up the road, and heard our first native bird, a Brown Towhee, about 100 yards east of the poultry station at 6:50. We walked to the botanical gardens, around thru them and back down to the stadium, arriving there at 8:23. The following is a list of species seen or heard during this time: 1. Brown Towhee 2.

J. Rodgers -1941 Mrs. Vert Zool, Univ. Calif., Berkeley Aug. 11 Murre were numerous, about 300 and was feeding young. Some of the young were probably not more than two or three days old. There were about 50 to 75 sea lions around and around the rocks, about 1/3 being California Sea Lions. The party camped just back from the edge of the beach about 5 miles north of Point Reyes. About noon on Aug 10, the party started back to Berkeley (d Burlingame -Frank Watson) by various routes. Those on the trip were Seth Benson, Don Hoffmeister, Ed V. Milly, Preston Hendrickson, Frank Peabody, R.E. Shirer, Jon Rodgers, Frank Watson, Charles Reed, and Charles Benton.

Belly Drabber Drab (Pl L1, 1'''), ventral side of both tail lights, near Light Drabber Drab. As I stroked the salamander on the back it secreted a slime that, spread over by the stroking, made the surface glossy. On the tail, the secretion was much more rapid, and formed in droplets of milky (slightly) substance. This specimen was loaned to Frank Peabody for recording of its trackway. It escaped in his basement and was found dead and drying in a dusty corner. He put it into some full strength (95%?) denatured alcohol & brought it in to me. It was badly shriveled. It was then put in water for 6 hrs, 50% alcohol (1 pt.) to glycerine (1 pt.) for 10 hrs and then into 65% alcohol for storage. It expanded back about to normal, but looks rather rough. Mrs. Vert.

Caly., Berkeley Sept. 29, 1941 Toads sent in by H. L. Jellison; from Highway 81 Case Co., N. Dakota, Aug. 15, 1941 Toads Also Are Just Traveling Next time your auto skids over a layer of toads on the road, don't lose your temper because, like yourself, they're out traveling. That is the explanation Dr. A. D. Whedon, NDAC zoologist, gives for the prevalence of toads in recent weeks. Motorists traveling the highway to the Minnesota lake region have encountered great numbers of the animals and the paving has been strewn with dead toads as a result. On country roads, too, and in a lesser degree in Fargo, the situation has been noticeable. "There really is no explanation for their prevalence except that they're migrating," Professor Whedon says. "Toads, like frogs, have moist skins and cannot travel except when moisture is present. That is why they seem to increase so much after rains. "After a shower, toads almost always are present. That has given rise to the erroneous expression of 'raining toads.'" Many Fargo-Moorhead residents have complained about toads in their yards. Dr. Whedon says some have even appropriated low-lying bird baths at his home. The toads will not cause warts if touched, he said. This widespread belief has arisen because the skin of a toad exudes a protective poison. Dogs and cats often become sick from picking up toads in their mouths. One question Dr. Whedon won't attempt to answer—he doesn't know where the toads are going on their travels. In note, Jellison states, 'Some roads in eastern North Dakota are covered with these toads...' 2831 Bufo cognatus 6 specimens, all 2831

Also, the other car of the party (Paul Martin, George Myers, Anita Dougherty, and Sherburne Cobb) had not yet arrived. We went back down to the meet gate, parked the car and spent about 35 min. looking for amphibians in the black muley area around and below a spring just inside of (Dr. Wright found 1 Rana) the gate. The other car arrived and we went up th canyon to Stephens Camp.

J. Roegers -1942 Grizzly Peak Alameda Co, Cal. Feb. 28 Yesterday afternoon Walt Dalquest, Bob Storer and I set 150 traps (50 each) within 200 yards of Grizzly Peak Blvd., about 600 yards SSW of the lookout tower on the peak. They were all set in the sagebrush; Walt's and Bob's on a west-facing slope and mine on a south-facing slope - on the sides of the little draw below the big rocks. Mine were all within 200 feet of the edge of the sagebrush; mostly within 50 feet of it. Walt and Bob ran their lines up about 100 yards into the sagebrush. I caught 8 Microtus and 1 shrew (Sorex cal ornatus); Walt caught 2 Microtus, 1 Ctenomys californicus! When I got back, Bob caught 4 Microtus and 1 Peromyscus. Walt took 6 of my Microtus and the shrew. At about 7:45, when the sun was just hitting Berkeley, we could see a small dark dory cruising north along the coast just west of the Santa Cruz mountains, and at that time we saw four or six large planes (probably patrol bombers) and two smaller faster ships take off from the Navy base at Alameda and head out to the west and northwest. The morning was bright and the sky clear, but a haze hung over the Bay just east of San Francisco and a fog bank hung off shore, just concealing the Farallon Islands.

(Written Mar. 10, in Berkeley) Walter Dalquest, Sherburne Cook, Jr., and I left Berkeley at 5:30 a.m., in the Reo truck belong- ing to MVZ. We picked up Phillip Merritt at his home in Lafayette. At Dry Creek, 6 mi. N Lodi, we collected all our specimens under planks, boards, chunks of wood and large timbers along the road that leads into a farm on the west side of highway 99 and the north side of Dry Creek (not now dry). The ground under the objects was porous and damp -- obviously had not been flooded. The land is at least 12 feet above the bottom of the creek. At Arno, we collected along the R.R. track from the R.R. sign "Arno," to about 1/2 mi. S. We rolled over granite boulders that were placed along the fill on which the R.R. was built. The country was flooded on both sides of the tracks and conditions under all except a few of the highest rocks were certainly indicative of recent flooding. No skinks were found; only Sceloporus and one Coluber constrictor. Most of the specimens taken at the place called "1 mi. W Michigan Bar" were taken on the hillside on the north side of the Cosumnes River, just across a bridge from a place called Bridge House. Some were taken about 1/2 mile west of there on both sides of the road. "10 mi. WSW Plymouth" specimens were taken on a south-facing hillside north of the road (highway 16).

Left Berkeley at 8:30 a.m. in the Geo truck belonging- At Dry Creek, we collected all of our specimens under planks, boards, chunks of wood and dug about a foot deep along the road there; a large number were found on the west side of Highway 99 and the north side of the creek (not now dry). The ground was very muddy and was quite saturated -- probably had been raining off (thw wan jon) (Dry Creek not now dry). The land is at least 25 feet above the level of the stream. Most of the specimens taken at the place called "I'm in W Michigan Bar" were taken on the hillside on the north side of the Coquales River, just across from a bridge called Bridge House. Some were taken about 1/2 mile west of there on both sides of the road. A few of the specimens were taken on the south-facing hillside north of the road (Highway 99). As we traveled up from Whiskey Creek, we found rocks to turn over but did not find any of them.

T. Rodgers -- 1942 Itinerary Sacramento Valley trip, Mar. 6, 7, 8, 9. were 9 mi. out the road, elev. 300 feet, we had not yet reached the blue oaks. At 12 mi. NE, we were in blue-oak country. Northeast of Smartsville, we stopped several places and found many rocks to turn over, but found no skinks, very few Sceloporus and noted very few centipedes, millipedes and other invertebrates that had been so common in places where skinks were found. The ground was a red soil that had formed by weathering of the basalt rocks. Although the country is high and well drained, conditions under most of the rocks were as barren as if the country had been flooded. At 5 mi. SW Bridgeport, in such country as this, a skink was collected by Sherburne Cook. It was found about 1 foot under the ground, under a rock. At 4 mi. SSW French Corral the soil is lighter and not red. The two skinks collected there (one by Dalquest and one by Rodgers) were found under rocks that had been piled about two deep near the base of a fence. On the north side of the Yuba River, we collected on a hillside about 200 yds.NW of the bridge on highway 20. In about 40 minutes, 4 of us together had about 10 skinks. These were obviously skiltonianus since some were heavy-headed obviously mature individuals, yet much smaller than mature gilberti, and with sharply defined color pattern and blue tail. They were more active than gilberti found earlier in the day and on the day before. On the north side of Marysville Buttes, we camped about 1/2 mile up the canyon from the ranch

The ground under them was moist and porous. About 17 skinks, all skiltonianus, were collected there. We also found skinks under rocks on the south side of Marysville Buttes. As we got into the hills west of Fruto, we found shale and sandstone outcrops neither of which produced enough talus to convince us that collecting was worth while. We stopped at several sandstone ledges and turned over what talus there was, but with no success. Finally, at a point 9 mi. S Elk Creek we met with success. Merritt had left us at Marysville after collecting on the Buttes, and Dalquest, Cook, and I were alone. We stopped to investigate a sandstone ledge. Dalquest and I were starting to leave when Cook pulled a piece out of the ledge and found a skink. We got a pick and pulled more pieces out of the ledge, finding 3 more. Dalquest and I each found 1 and Cook found 2. We drove straight through from there to Arbuckle, where we made camp at the edge of the wide gravelly wash of Sand Creek, 5 miles west of the town. As we made camp, many birds were going to roost in the trees around. In the morning we identified most of them as Lark Sparrows. Horned Owls hooted all night. We collected Hyla regilla and one Rana boylii in some small pools near camp. On the morning of the ninth, we drove west about 6 miles looking for a place to collect skinks but the only outcrops were shale that produced such

The town had now met near the creek and the ground had been cleared there. We also found skunks under rocks or the side of Maryville Butte. As we got into the hill and went on to try our luck at finding "old friends" who were known to have been associated with the previous trip, we found ourselves in a position where no one knew what had happened. There was some indication that a train might have passed through the area recently. We drove straight through from there to Arpuckie, where we made camp at the edge of the creek and saw many of Sand Creek's friends. We were able to get a good view of the canyon and its surroundings as we continued our journey along the creek bed. The water was clear and cold, reflecting the blue sky above us. On the morning of the ninth we looked for a few miles up the creek but found nothing except some dead trees lying in the stream bed.

We turned west again, and at Arbuckle, we turned south to search the floor of the valley for skinks. We spent the rest of the day looking under lumber and debris around abandoned and occupied ranch yards. We found an abundance of apparently suitable habitat, all the associated animals, well-drained porous soil, but no skinks. We feel fairly safe in assuming that skiltonianus has not extended its range onto the floor of the valley in the southern part of the western side of the Sacramento Valley. We crossed the Sacramento River at Rio Vista, the San Joaquin River at the Antioch Bridge, drove southeast through Brentwood and up Marsh Creek. We made a stop 5 mi. SE Clayton, where Dalquest collected a Diadophis and a Lampropeltis and Cook collected a Pituophis. We arrived in Berkeley about 7:00 p.m. Catalog of specimens collected on the trip, extcept about 10 or 15 collected at the first 3 localities by Cook, and about 5 collected at several localities by Dalquest, follows on pp. 204-216.

We found no specimens in the southern part of the Sacramento valley except to this western side and tripped northward east the extreme edge of the floor of the valley at a site where we had a view of the valley floor on both sides and saw that it was an area of very flat, level ground with some small hills here and there. We crossed the Sacramento River at Rio Vista, then went south through Brentwood and up Marsh Creek to Clayton, where we stopped for lunch. We arrived in Berkeley about 7:00 p.m.

J. Rodgers - 1941 Anniella pulchra No. 6 Mus. Vert. Zool., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. Color records and measurements of a specimen sent in alive by Chas M. Miller, Nov. 5. Color records (made from live specimen) from Ridgway, 1912. Measurements of freshly killed specimen (T.R. 2832). Dorsum slightly grayer than Hair Gray (Plate XLVI, 17''', i) but with a faint tinge of yellow. Along the sides, just below the black lateral lines is an almost continuous mottling of yellow (Olive-Brown, Plate XXX, 21'', anterior, blending to Wax Yellow, Plate XVI, 21', posteriorly and on tail). Anteriorly, this yellow blends with Cinnamon-Drab (Plate XLVI, 13''') medially. Posteriorly, it blends with Yellow Citrine (Plate XVI, 23', i) ventrally. On the tail, it is mottled with a color slightly more buffy than Pale Olive-Gray (Plate LI, 23''', f) medially. At about the middle (half-way back) on the ventrum, where the Cinnamon-Drab and Yellow Citrine there is a mottling of Storm Gray (Plate LII, 35'''). The yellow of the sides is present over the whole ventrum in small spots of uneven sides and shapes. These spots are most common posteriorly. Greatest body width = 4.7mm. Snout to vent = 12.5 mm. Tip of snout to post. border of 6th supralabial = 4.0 mm. Tail length = 15.5 mm. Head width, across largest supraoculars = 3.0 mm. Tip of snout to anterior border of orbit = [illegible] Tip of snout to post. margin of second interparietal = 5.4mm.

J. Rosevera -1941 Arizona elegans Nov. 11 Mus. Vert. Zool., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. (male) Notes on MVZ specimen 36474, received alive Nov. 3, 1941, from A. E. Borell. Collected by him Oct. 21, 1941, 11 mi.N Albuquerque, Sandoval Co., New Mexico. Note by Borell, "Found on rainy day, in very sandy soil." Identifies here as A.E.elegans, but with a number dorsal blotches that fits one above the maximum for the race according to Blanchard's key. When the snake was put into a terrarium, on soft but rather coarse sand, it crawled slowly across the cage (about 16") by an indirect route, holding its head about 1 1/4" above the sand and set off to the side about "1/2." When it reached the other end, it nosed down into the sand and burrowed down into it as neatly as an Annella or a Sonora. Meas. 220+37mm.-while deformed. Color records from Ridgway (1912), made just after it was deformed. ground color between blotches on back, Gray (Light Full Gray) (Pl.LIII, Carbon Gray, f.* 9). Lowest scutellum and sides of belly scutes lighter than Pallid Umphred Gray (Pl. LIII, 67"''', g). This color extends across the free edges of the ventral scutes; the rest of the area of the scutes is darker, very near Pallid Umphred Gray, between dorsal blotches (Benz Brown and Hair Brown (Pl. XLVI, 15"''', h) anteriorly, darkening gradually posteriorly to Fuscous (Pl. XLVI, 13"''', k) on the tail. Dark marking from eye to angle of mouth, slightly more reddish

J. Rodgers-1940 Cnemidophorus tesselatus June 7 - see no. 2656 Aug. 15. Mrs. Vert. Zoöl., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Calif. No. 2167, a large male from Arroyo Mochos has been eating 10+ mealworms a day for the past few days (others have also been eating). At 11:50 am to-day 2167 was seen standing high on back lip, back and tail arched and defecating. The stool was 41 mm. long and slightly larger in diameter (6mm) in the middle than at the ends. The first end to be deposited, was white for 9 mm., the rest was black. He lay walked along about 55 mm. while depositing the stool. When the final end broke loose, the tail was bent around to nearly 90° to the side and the lizard crawled about 1/2 inches sliding it vent region on the sand. Then it turned, walked back and with its right front foot pushed sand over the fresh stool. It made three fast strokes forward pushing the sand. 11:20 2173 ♂ defecated but did not cover the stool 2172 ♀ is least active and does not eat much. She is thinner than the others. 2172♀ & 2173♂ are from Madera Co. 2167♂ and 21689 are from Arroyo Mochos. 2168♀ is very active Aug. 30 Mrs. Vert. Zoöl. No 21689 was coming out of the carabouss shelter. It kicked sand violently twice as if trying to pull its tail loose from something inside the shelter that was holding it.

Sept. 27 Clipped toe nails of 2168. From or five were slipped close enough to bleed a little. I painted them with iodine. The toe claws do not seem to wear down as much as the should in this cage. Possibly there is not enough solid rock or packed sand. Even when they dig to the bottom they have only smooth glass to dig against. Oct 17 2168 ? ok - did not seem to suffer. Except for occasional cold days, all four captive whiptails have been out every day and have eaten readily and heartily for at least two month now - probably longer. When They have ben fat and healthy looking for about two months. When they first started coming out regularly, some of them looked patty thin.

J. Ruagese 1941 138 Cnemidophorus tesselatus Feb 13 Mus. Nat. Zool., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Cal. No. 2167, a male from Arroyo Mucho, Alameda County, and 2173, a male from Madera County, we came out about 11:00am. today. 2173 seems to be in good condition, 2167 is very thin and inactive. 2173 ate at least 2 mealworms. 2167 ate one larva and fumbled with a pupa but couldn't seem to get it to start down its throat. I took him in my hand and let [illegible] two more pupae from forceps took and swallowed them with no trouble at all. I offered him one with some Lansol in it but he refused it. I opened his mouth and fed it to him then put him back in the cage, with his chin in the water dish. He lapped up water for 15 or 20 seconds. 2167 drank more water several minutes later, after leaving the water dish (1:03 p.m.) and returning. 2167 perked up considerably, but is very thin, and still not nearly as lively as 2173. I have not seen any whiptails out for at least two months. One or two may have been out yesterday, judging from slight changes around the entrance. 2167 is drinking again - after 5 or minutes I standing near the water dish. He seems to be filling up on water. It day the sky is hazy, with clouds above the haze, as indicated by marked fluctuations in the brightness and where the sunshine thru the haze. 2173 has just shed. The skin on the tail has not been shed yet. 2173 was still out at 1:10 p.m., but 2167 has gone in.

J. Rodgers -1941 Cnemidophorus tesselatus Mar. 15, 1941 Mus. Vert. Zool., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alameda C., Calif. 2173 stayed out on top of the sand last night and looks very thin and inactive. This morning I open its mouth and pushed a mealworm pupa and a drop of camphol down into its throat, then a drop water. It keeps its eyes closed most of the time but moves around the cage and tries to climb up the corner much of the time. The sun is warm enough so that 2167 came out on its own volition and is lying on the sand in the sun. Another lizard (probably 2172) has its head sticking out of the entrance to one of the retreats. Both the others are at the entrance. 2167 is having a bug feast - he has eaten at least a dozen meal worms in about 10 minutes. The other (or another) in the entrance are also eating a few.

J. Rodgers - 1940 2. Coleonyx variegatus Feb. 7 Mrs Vert Zool, Univ Calif, Berkeley, Alameda Co, Calif I have a male Coleonyx that John Chatin collected Jan 13, 1940, 2 mi SW Rathole, 150 ft, Imperial Co, Calif. It is in a cage (about 11" x 18" floor space) with 2 or 3 Uta's, 2 or 3 Sceloporus, 1 horned toad and about 6 skinks. Today when was at 2:10 pm, with the sun shining directly on the cage (and the lizard) I suddenly heard it squealing. It made at least 3 lunges at a medium large Eumeces gilberti each time squealing. The skink left. I believe the skink had just happened to approach to within an inch or two (or over) the Coleonyx.

Cook Jr. 12 mi. SW Fernley, Lyon Co., Nevada, May 30, 1941. (T. R. 2773, p. 186 acc. no. 6645). From Ridgway, Col. St. and Nom., 1912. Top of head between Buffy Brown and Olive-Brown (Pl. XL, 17''', j). General appearance of dark parts of back about the same, with distol ends of scales Olive- Brown and proximal ends Light Grayish Olive (Pl. XLVI, 21'''). Lighter scales of back are less green than Light Grayish Olive (no green). The basal ends of the darker scales along the first 6 inches of the back and sides are edged with a color that is Apricot Orange (Pl. XXVIII, 11''). The basal ends of the lighter scales are edged (especially laterally) with white. Posterior to the first 6 inches, all the scales are edged prox- imally with White or Tawny-Olive (Pl. XXIX, 17'', i). The snake is lighter at the tail (gradual gradation throughout whole length of snake). Scales on the tail are slightly darker and slightly grayer than Buffy Brown (Pl. SL, 21''', j) distally and less green than Dark Olive-Buff (Pl. XL, 21'') proximally. The scales with white edged bases are so arranged as to give an indistinct affect of transverse lines or rings extending from one edge of the ventral scutes, over the back to the other edge of the scutes. Under side of head and first inch of throat white, spotted with brown, slightly lighter than on top of head. Next foot of body Cream-Buff, which, on close examination can be seen to be mottled with white. A- long this section of belly, there is a double row of light brown spots that are tinged and surrounded with Cream-Buff. The rest of the belly, back to the vent, is lighter, with a pearly luster. It appears Pale Pinkish Buff (Pl. XXIX, 17'' f) in the right light and, laterally with belly, Primrose Yellow (Pl XXX, 23'', d). The ventral side of the tail has more Pale Pinkish Buff and less Primrose Yellow.

The following color records are of young rattlesnakes that were removed from a freshly chloroformed female, (MVZ 33711) my number 2680. The dorsal blotches on the darkest (2682) MVZ 33713 (Pl. XL, 17"', m) are quite faintly lighter than Clove Brown centrally, and much darker around the edges. The blotches are progressively lighter on the others in approximately the following order 2683, 2685, 2684, 2686, 2681. The blotches on 2681 are between near Olive Brown (Pl XL, 17"', k), with darker edges. The blotches on the mother (2650) are between Olive Brown and Buffy Brown (Pl XL, 17", j) anteriorly on the body and darker posteriorly; they are also edged with darker color. There are light eakings on the scales of the sides and belly that are between Light Vinaceous-Fawn and Vinaceous Fawn (Pl. XL, 15"', d). Anteriorly the ventral scales are grayish and brownish. Anteriorly, the scales on the sides are grayish or brownish also, but it is extremely variable on the side, some scales being almost all the light color (Pl XL, 15", d)

Color record, from Ridgway, of Dicamptodon no. 35484, collected near Stephens Camp, Waddell Creek, Santa Cruz Co., Calif., Sept. 14, 1941. Dark parts of mottling, Mars Brown (Pl. XV, 13, k); light parts, Verona Brown (Pl. XX) x, 13'' k). As I took this salamander in my hand and held it while comparing it with my it started emitting mate, from its vent. It continued for about one minute, letting up somewhat twice, but increasing the rate of emission after each let-up. All together, it must have emitted 10 cc. or more. This is the first time I have seen this reaction in a salamander.

It takes hold of them but can not work them in the head of Feb. 7 some of the big gilberts are getting distinctly brighter red. The last few days we have had sunny weather, and the skinks as well as the other lizards have been out more active. Feb.28 No.21 was found dead, and so badly decayed that I thought it best not worth saving. It has been discarded. Feb. 29 Yesterday my attention was drawn to the dead skink (No.21) by David Nichols telling me that he saw the two lizards fighting, then noting that one was dead. It looked as if the dead one had been chewed on. To-day at 3:40 p.m. I watched No. 1 swallow a piece of the tail of the dead no.21. The piece was about 7/8 inch long and about "4 inch in diameter. The piece was still soft and apparently in better shape than the rest of no.21, taken from the cage yesterday. Mar5 No.22 is extremely bright now. No.1 is contrastingly lacking in red; the head is only slightly brownish, and the tail is slightly yellowish. No 22 is light green with a bright red head. The red extends back over the neck, and even onto the shoulders in small flecks. I #22 took mealworms from

Mar.7 Jacob Frenkel has brought me some vitamine concentrate that he says helped cure an ailment that his ligands has, that was apparently like that mine have. He described it as a nervous diathesis that followed constant feeding on mealworms. The trade name is "Sanostol", made by Chemische Fabrik Promonta G. m. b. H., Hamburg 26. "Hergestellt aus vitaminreichem Leberölkonzentrat vor allem des Heilbutte (Vitamine A und D) und sonnengereiften, vitamingesättigten Citrusfrüchten (Vitamine C) unter Verwendung diastasereichen Malzes (Vitamine B). .... Dosierung: Kinder bis zu 3 Jahren 1-2 Teelöffel voll pro Tag. Ältere Kinder und Erwachsene entsprechend mehr. 6 Teelöffel voll sind in allen Fällen ausreichend. - Therapeutische Dosen nach Anweisung des Arztes." I force-fed 979 one mealworm and about two drops of this vitamine concentrate. 20 and 14 each ate a mealworm that had been dipped in it. 20 as well as 22 has a bright red head now; 20 not near as bright as 22. 14 has moved on the head but a red tail; 20, about the same size as 14 has a dull tail with no red. Neither 14, 20 nor 22 are sick . did even after this.

They must have gotten a good drop each Mar. 13 No. 6 has been sick for some time. It gaps its mouth, and is getting thin. To-day I gave her it one meal worm (with head taken off) that has been dipped in Sansostol. July 16 A meal worm was crawling down into the crumbly dirt of the bottom of the cage. About 1/3 of its length still showed, and that was among clods of about 1/16 to 3/16 inches in diameter. A sceloporus made several stable at it, but failed to get hold of it. A skink came along, moved down between the clods and took the meal worm, with, apparently, no trouble at all! Aug. 17 979 died to-day. It has been very thin and inactive for the last two or three weeks. Oct. 28 The following is measurements and weights of the specimens in captivity. They have not been fed since Saturday (Oct. 26). They are also scaled down on the basis of probing the femipores. May 6 No. 6 died. (see pg. 1,3,17,22,28,39 +)

Probably not shed recently. *slight suggestion of pink. Found dirt hardened in opening to hemipenis. Cleaning it off, I pulled a 10mm plug of light brown waxy substance out of the right left hemipenis. I painted it with iodine before returning the lizard to the cage. Oct 30 - pulled plug out? right side.

J. Rodgers - 1940 Emmerich Gilberts Oct. 29 Mrs. Kent Zool, Univ. Calif, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. ? No. 2 Crobed hemipenis 7mm. Head colored about as No. 1; tail red. ♀ No. 13 no red head; no red tail. Oct. 31. 4:50 pm. Yesterday afternoon about this time I put 5 skinks, nos. 22, 18, 2, 1033, 1009 in a cage together. I had heaped the dirt (loam) at one end over a cardboard tunnel that was about 1" above the bottom of the aquarium, about 1 1/4" high, 8" deep, 5" wide at the back and with 1" sq. opening. All the skinks went into this tunnel. There was about 3 1/6" of sand on its floor. Today at that time I found no. 18 buried in the sandy soil on top of the pile of dirt. This morning I noticed a furrow in the shallow soil at the other end of the cage, as if a skink had been trying to dig in. Nov. 1 Last night when I put no. 18 into the tunnel, I pushed enough dirt into the entrance of the tunnel to about half fill it. Up to this time the skinks had left the tunnel wide open. This morning enough more dirt had been pushed into the pile (from inside) to close it. Nov. 3 The skinks came out today and closed the hole after themselves when they went back in. The first time they closed the hole they barely closed it. This time it was more thoroughly plugged. Nov. 4 I opened the hole, took the skinks out, killed one of them (1009) and put them back in. I pushed enough

J. Rodgers - 1940 Eumeces gilberti Nov. 4 Mrs Vert, Zoo, Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Calif. dirt into the entrance to about half close it. Nov 5 Hole closed most thoroughly than ever. So much dirt has been pushed out of the entrance from inside that a mound has been formed outside. This looks a little bit like they learned, but the fact probably is that they did not have enough sand on the cardboard floor of their tunnel to close the hole at first. Each time they have opened the hole, they have raked more sand into the tunnel from the pile I pushed into the entrance. They now have plenty of sand to fill the entrance by pushing it into the entrance from inside. Dec. 3. The hole has been open for the past 3 weeks even though there was dirt in the entrance - there was not enough inside to close it, however. No. 22 probably had not just shed as suggested in notes, Oct 29, because it is just shedding now. Today I put in a new tunnel. The other one was wet. This time I separated it from the area where the plants are by a sheet of glass and put about 2 inches of coarse gravel under it. It is covered by 1-2 inches of light sandy soil. 5:20. They have been in the cage for about 1 1/2 hours, but do not seem to be satisfied to settle down inside the tunnel. They keep coming out & going in. No 10 tried to bury itself in insufficient light soil outside the

(no.10 is a male - gonads 4 mm long and plump) dec.4 No.10 was found dead on the floor of the cage at 2:20 p.m. to-day. It is plump and healthy looking. The nearest I can figure is that I injured it yesterday or the day before while trying to take it out of the [tunnel] with the forceps. It now weighs 14.8 grams: 78 + 114 mm long. The ventral side of the tail is (lighter than Cameo Pink - Pl.XXVI,71',g) pink, full length; very pale just back of the vert and (Pale Lachia Pink - Pl.XXXVIII,67',f) purplish, toward the tip. It is Pale Rhodonite Pink (Pl XXXVIII, 71'', f) halfway back. The single (formly blue) scale, near the tip dorsally is Clear Green-Blue Gray (Pl XLVIII, 45''', a). The dorsal side of the tail is nearer Buffy Brown than Pl XL, 14''', i, or the distal 1/3, blending in the middle 1/3 to a color between Pale Citrine Drab (Pl XL, 21''', i) and Grayish Olive (XLVI, 21'''). The back is slightly more reddish than Light Brownish Olive (Pl. XXX, [illegible] 18'', k). Top of head slightly darker than Wood Brown Drab (Pl XLVI, 17'''h); labials between Pale Vinaceous-Fawn and Light Vinaceous- Fawn (Pl. XL, 13'', e). Chin shields nearer white than Pl XXX, 23'', g. Area ventral to ear, Marguerite yellow (Pl XXX, 23'', f) [this area posterior to chin shields] Area on side of head ventral to ear opening Pale Cinnamon-Pink (Pl. XXIX, 13'', f).

J. Rodgers - 1940 Ernest Gilbert Dec. 4 Mrs. Vert Zool., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. the tail where it had apparently [and very likely, remembering my attempts to take it out of the tunnel the past two days] been bruised, I noticed a darker color. I found it not very difficult to scrape scale off with my finger nails, exposing a bright "orange" color - between Carmelian Red and Vinaceous-Rufous (Pl. XIV, 7', h). Judging by the ease with which I can scrape the scale off the lizard, it must have been about ready to shed. Scales scraped off the back expose a bright (near chartreuse yellow, then brown, gloss green) green color (then Kildare green [all Plate XX XI]) that, within two minutes exposure to the air, turns dep blue (Deep Delft Blue - Pl XLII, i ½) or darker than Indigo Blue - Pl XXXIV, 47', m) Scraping scale off of the labials does not expose any red, or even pink. It seems safe to speculate that, at the next molt, this lizard would have had a very red tail, but no red on the head. When the scales were scraped off of the dorsal side of the distal end of the tail the blue scale was still there and a little brighter. The color change occurs about as fast as one would expect it to in the course of drying. Many scales were picked off with no visible abrasive injury to the scales exposed. They changed just the same. Scraping the scale off of

This soon turns bright green, then live green, then blue; eventually as dark as the back. An area freshly exposed, dried with a match turned to the dark blue within 30 seconds or less. Dec. 7. On the evening of Dec. 5 I put 15 oz 20 heaping teaspoons full of dirt into the tunnel. On the morning of Dec. 6 the entire entrance was closed. In the late afternoon (about 3:30) I noticed that there was a hole where a shed has stuck its head out but had not come out. At 5:30 the hole had been closed and the pile of dirt closing the entrance had been reinforced all along. This was evidently by force of shed skin that were sticking through the dirt along the top of the entrance. The skin was not showing at 3:30. The presence of the skin may (in fact probably) indicate that they are running short of dirt inside, and are having to scrape the floor rather thoroughly to get enough to close the entrance. The entrance of this tunnel consists of two holes [illegible] The tunnel is narrower at the back than at the front. I will either have to build the dirt up in front, or keep them supplied with dirt to plug the entrance with, because they push it out to open it, and it slides down an incline.

Light vertebral area of ground color. between Jayne's Olive and Saccardo's Umber; Pl. XXIX, 17, j. Dorsolateral light lines. Pale Yellow-Orange; Pl. III, 15, f. Lateral stripes. Pale Orange-Yellow; Pl. III, 17, f. Greenish and bluish tinge in dorsolateral light areas of original part of tail, and bluish tinge on ventral surface of regenerated part of tail. Measurements of freshly killed specimen. Snout-vent 58.8mm; tail 15.5+29. mm. Dec Mar. 17 Mus. Vert. Zool., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alam. Co., Calif. See Itinerary of Sacramento Valley trip, Mar 6-9, pp 203A-D. For several weeks I have noticed no. 22 gaping or "smacking its lips". Today I notice that it is just completing shedding; its head is bright red and its body bright green. The tail has not yet shed, but will no doubt also be bright green. Apr 29. No. 22 is thinner and apparently sicker. It probably won't live much longer.

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

J. Rodgers -1942 Ernecea g. gilberti April 29 Mrs. Vert. Zool., Univ. Cal., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. bellies - young very faintly so - adults light but distinctly green. Backs of adults are bronzy (no green); sides greenish down low, where the dorsal color blends with belly color. April 30 No. 22 was found dead in the cage this morning. It is the last of the group sent to me by Henry Fitch in 1938. After stiffening, it measures 101 mm. from snout to vent and the tail measures 82 + 69 mm. This, of course, can not be compared with measurements made on the specimen while alive. The animal has shown signs of losing weight and being sick since December or January, and has probably not grown during that time.

J. Rodgers - 1940 21 Eumeces cancilloana g. subricandatus Jan. 20 Mrs. Vert. Zool., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. 1036 has been out on top of the ground for past 2 weeks and has her appeared very sick. It is very thin thru the pelvic region, and the region of the hemi-penis is swollen. The swelling over the right hemi-penis has a purple spot on it - not bruised. I will kill this lizard now and inject it with 95% alcohol. Feb. 1 - 979 - see p. 37 - gilberti. Feb. 7 - 979 still unable to handle a meal worm. Mar. 7 - 979 - see p. 38 - gilberti Oct. 10 - 4 skinks were out at once to-day - Nos 22, 14 and one other smaller have red tails. The largest skink in the cage does not have a red tail.

J. Rodgers -1942 Eumeces g. cancelanus Mar. 18. Mr. Vert. Zool., Univ. Caly., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. About Feb. 14, Phil Merritt brought two skinks to me, that he had collected Feb. 8, 5 mi. S Brantwood, Contra Costa Co., Calif. I put them in a terrarium with 1 large C.g. gillberti (no.32), 1 whiptail, and 1 scaleprine. They have been out of the retreat often and have eaten meal worms. To-day the one with the stubbiest tail continually chased the other one. It ate many meal worms, was willing to fight it out (top-down) with the whiptail for a meal worm, and usually retained any it had picked up even tho the whiptail tugged and grabbed at it several times. It did not give the other skink enough rest to allow it to eat any meal worms. It bit at the others head, but most often at the tail 1/3 to 1/2 way from tip. These two specimens are entered in my cataloge as 3230 and 3231. 3230 is the one with the stubbiest tail.

J. Rodgers -1940 Eumeces skiltonianus Mar. 20 Mrs. Vert. Zool., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alameda C., Caly. My no. 2486, collected Mar. 17, 1940, Marsh C., 100 ft. 4.1 mi. ESE Mt. Diablo, Contra Costa Co., Caly. Color Records by Ridgway: Wide vertical area, nearest to Dresden Brown (Pl. XV, 17, k), but faintly lighter and faintly more yellow. This is probably one of the lightest brown skiltonianus I have seen. Dorsolateral lines, [tan] slightly grayer than Maize Yellow (Pl. IV, 19, f). Tail [rusty orange] Bittersweet Orange (Pl. II, 9 d) but slightly lighter and slightly brown) ventrally and Orange Rufus (Pl. II, 11, i) dorsally. This color does not completely cover the dorsal surface of the tail. It is of different density at diff- erent parts, tending to concentrate dorsolaterally. Parts of the dorsal part of the tail are brown, but the general superficial impression is that the whole tail of this animal is "red." The distal 1/3 is grayer. The "red" of the tail blends in with the back over the hind legs. One large adult (2503, 2504, 2505, 2506, 2507, or 2508), collected 3.7 mi. SE Mt. Diablo (in the head of Tassajara Cr.) has a stubby regenerated tail, but still has a noticeable wash of blue on it. See this species also in St. Cal., J. Am. Occ. pp. 1572 Mar 2, 1940

Color record, from Ridgway of a brightly colored young shink collected at the forks of Maddle Creek, Santa Cruz County, Calif., Sept. 14, 1941, by Alden H. Miller. Tail between Amparo Blue and Bradley's Blue (Pl. IX, 51, a); dorso-lateral lines Light Ocraceous Buff (Pl. XV, 15', b). 1942 Mar. Mrs. Vert. Zool., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. See Itinerary of Sacramento Valley trip, Mar. 6-9, p. 203 A-D. April 28 Four specimens collected by Walt Dalquest on the Cuyamaca River, April 25. A young male (WWD 3026) has a bright blue tail, buffy stripes, and no pink on tail or labials. A large male (WWD 3025; gonads, O) has a blue tail, and bright orange along the labials and below—no pink on tail. A large female (WWD 3024) has large eggs (O), blue on dorsal surface of remaining 1/3 or 1/2 of tail, no pink on tail, and only a light tinge of pink on the labials. This pink, found on the labials of females and young or non-breeding season males is probably independent of the bright orange and red-orange found on breeding males. A large male (WWD 3023) has smaller gonads than males taken in April 19 the Berkeley hills last Sunday (O), but it has much more bright orange on it. The orange completely covers the labials and ventral surface between them, and extends back about half way to the fore-leg. On the ventral surface of the tail, it covers the entire surface from anterior to the vent, blends with the

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.

I Rodgers -1942 Eumeces shiltonianus June 7 Mrs. Vert Zool, Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. Bright red-orange labials have been noted to be consistently more reddish than the bright orange coloration that develops especially on the ventral surface of the tail. Some individuals have been noted to have pale pink on the ventral side of the tail or on the labials or both (?). A particularly good example of this pink coloration is the ventral surface of the tail of TR 3319 just a little lighter than Shrimp Pink (Pl. I, 5, f). An example of the brightest labial color is (brightest parts of T.R. 3317) Bittersweet Orange (Pl. II, 9, b); duller yet dark parts are Apricot Orange (Pl XIV, 11'). The brightest orange on the underside of the tail of T.R. 3321 is Salmon Orange (Pl. II, 11, b); duller parts are Apricot Buff (Pl XIV, 11'b). The orange on the tail and labials of specimens collected now is not as bright or as extensive as it was on specimens collected a month ago. On June 7 and on May 24, six of us were out for about three hours (each day), between 7 and 9:10 am. May 24 we got two rattlesnakes; June 7 we got 1 young yellow bellied racer. These are the only snakes we got. On trips during the month or 6 weeks before we nearly always got three or four snake for 3-4 hrs. of collecting and they included kingsnake, gopher snake, ring-necked snakes, sharp-tailed snakes, garter snakes, racers, and rattlesnakes. Snakes seem to be scarcer now.

J. Roagas - 1942 19 Eumeces skiltonianus June 23 Mrs. Xert. Zook, Univ. Caly, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Caly. On June 21, I am Taggart Cowan, Robert Storer, Milton Hildebrand, Viola Memmler, Joe Marshall, Janet Fails and I collected skinks (Joe spent most of his time trying to collect a Grasshopper Sparrow with his sling shot). 1/2 mi. SE Bald Peak, 1700 ft., Contra Costa Co., Caly. We collected from 8:28 to 9:05 am. and got 18 skinks (see no. 3339-3356 - my numbers). There were many Sceloporus out, but we saw no other reptiles. Janet Fails saw what was probably a young gopher snake. The only conclusion I can so far draw as to where to look for skinks is the following: Shallow hollows and swails on hillsides and ridges under scattered rocks. Some places were probably caused by slippage on the hillsides - these hollows are oft anywhere along the hillsides but seem to often be near the top. Others, along are below rock outcrops. This probably does not mean that these places are preferred by the skinks, but probably that they are most accessible there. Other places the skinks can go on down under other rocks, can move ahead under other rocks, or the rocks cannot be moved. Cowan saw a C. lateralis and a dead G. mormon near the new cyclotom yesterday.

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

Two terraria, one 12" x 24" and the other 10" x 16" were divided, each into two compartments, by sheets of glass. They were filled about two inches of sand was put on their floors, about an inch of loam on top of that and about an inch of heavier sod on top of that. The grass on the sod was cut to about 1/2" long. A hollow about 1" deep was made in some part of each, and this covered by a slab of pine bark 2-3" wide and 4"-6" long and about 1/2" thick. All four skinks chose these places for hiding for the first few weeks. Each compartment was equipped with a small water dish, sunk in the ground. Early in June they began to dig down deeper. Each day as I looked to see if eggs had been laid, I would find one or two of them missing from the hollow they had fined and would have to dig deep to find it. One of them especially (3113) insisted in digging down deep (from the start I have thrown meal worms into the terraria a several times skinks have been seen to eat them). Another one also showed particular interest in digging down deep but I lost track of which unit was before I rearranged the terraria. It became obvious that if I was to

J. Rodger - 1942 Ennerees skiltonianus July 8 (cont) Mrs. Vert Zool, Univ. Calg., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Cal. observe the eggs in place, I would have to devise some sort of contraption that could be opened up. June 20, 22, 23 I made my such a contraption. The following sketch gives a general idea of a unit - for one skink. Five such units were made; 2, 12" x 12"; 2, 8" x 10"; 1, (in around jar) 6" in diam. spaces between units actually narrower than in this sketch - Soil layer on top of each quarter of the unit Nails, by means of which quarters of the unit can be lifted for examination of the soil layers below. 1/8" x 1/2" strip to hold soil on top of bottom board 1/4" to 7/8" layer of light sandy loam [Part of one top quarter cut away to show lower layer of dirt] Units like these were made for the aquaria used before (p.19), two for each, and one for algalor mayonnaise jarcker. The soil on top is occasionally sprinkled with water, taking care not to let much water (or new water) 7/8" board for insulation and to soak up any surplus water that might be poured on top or run down thru hole to allow skink access to soil below

Eumenes skiltonianus July 8 (cont.) Mus. Vert. Zool., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alam. Co., Calif. run freely down thru the cracks to the lower parts. An averaged about 2 meal worms a day have been thrown into the each unit. There are no water dishes on these observation units. On June 23, a bulging female (TR 3356) was put in the mayonnaise jar unit. 3356 has shed since she was put in, as evidenced by many scales lining scattered through- out the tunnels and cavities made by her. I did not notice them peeling from her body. I did notice them peeling from the body of 3116; it is free of loose scales to-day and many scales are scattered throughout the tunnels and cavities and on top. 3114 and 3115 have not shed. On July 1, it was first noted that 3113 had a lumpy appearance as well as being generally bulged. July 6, 3114 was noted to have several lobes to her bulge. To-day (1:10 pm) I found five eggs with 3113 in a space hollowed out by her in the southwest corner of her cage. As I raised the quarter of the unit, she hesitated about two seconds, as if deciding which way to go, then moved under the next compartment to the east. One egg is much smaller than the rest. I will measure them next time I look at them, rather than both her

[This is no.3113 and her nest, no.1] no.1 July 9, 8:45 a.m., 6 eggs in nest now, all seem to be about the same size. Female did not leave the eggs as I exposed the nest for about 40 sec. The eggs are scattered (much as they were yesterday); [000] g. One of the eggs is white, the others are [2¼"] faintly pinkish. 5:00 p.m. Now 7 eggs; one is grayish and more translucent than others. It is unlike any of the others were this morning; certainly the new one. July 10 8:45 am. Only 6 eggs in nest now. I scratched around in the sand but didn't find one buried as I suspected I might. 3113 has looked very thin since she started laying the first eggs. In fact, I began to notice that she looked thin in the pelvic region (above & between the bridge) a week before she laid the first eggs. Today she looks thinner than ever. I do not think she has been out of the nest chamber since she laid the first eggs. I have been in the room much of the time, and have not seen her out; also, she has kept all runways from the chamber closed. I opened one once and she closed it again. 5:30 pm. 6 eggs. July 11 9:00 a.m. 6 eggs in completely closed off cavity. The parent, 3113, in closed off cavity in southeast corner of cage

July 12 9:30 p.m. 3113 is back with eggs. July 13 9:30 a.m. 3113 left the eggs and the nest cavity when I lifted the cover. She left thru a tunnel that was open. This is the first time I have observed the nest cavity when it was not entirely closed off. I caught her and returned her to the nest cavity. There is still only one egg with 3115. 5:20 p.m. No change in number of eggs; both 3113 & 3114 will eggs. July 14 (a.m.) 3113 in NE corner of her cage (under NE quarter). 3115 still has only one egg. She has been with it each time I have looked since it was laid. She was out on top yesterday -- No. 3116 was out on top yesterday afternoon. (9:30 a.m.) July 15 3114 laid 5 eggs sometime since 5:30 p.m. yesterday, thus establishing nest no. 3. 3113 and 3115 stayed with eggs as I [illegible] lifted cover to see nest. 3115 left its egg and came up on top. I put 3115 back down the entrance. Nest no. 3 (think no. 3114) is in the north side of the south northeast quarter of the nest. July 16 9:00 a.m. No. 3115 still with single egg.

J. Roagna - 1942 28 Enmerus obitronianus July 19 (cont) Mrs. Vert. Zool, Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alameda C, Calif. The dirt is that they rest directly on the wooden floor. The eggs are scattered about like ooo. July 20 To-day I measured the eggs of nest no. 1 for the first time. They are 12 days old to-day and are darker than they were a week ago. They measured 11.8 x 7.4 mm, 12.2 x 7.5 mm, 12.3 x 7.9 mm, 12.7 x 7.9mm, 13.0 x 7.5 mm, 13.3 x 6.8 mm; average 12.55 x 7.33. The 1 day old eggs of nest no 3 averaged 13.0 x 7.86. The eggs of nest no. 1 either started smaller or have shrunk. Yesterday (July 19) Walt Dalquest and I went to the southern part of San Pablo Ridge (2 mi. SE Bald Peak). When we arrived (about 9:15 am there was a dense fog, as dense as described for the same place July 5, but not so cold. We parked on the old tunnel road about 700 yards south of the east end of the tunnel and hiked in an easterly direction to the top of the ridge, hitting it at the point, i.e. farthest south, of our walk down the ridge on July 5. On the way up we turned over many rocks and usually found the ground very dry & widely cracked underneath. In several places we dug down a foot or so but found only more dry ground. About three fourths of the way up the hill, we dug out under a small rock outcrop, finally moving four or five rocks that averaged 14"

Altogether, we moved about two yards of dirt & rocks, opened a hole about four feet wide and ten feet long that went back in from the surface about three feet at the deepest place. 1 1/2 to 2 feet under the surface, we found damp soil, We found half a dozen tarantula tunnels (short) one smooth tarantula (Brachathelis), three or four Jerusalem crickets (Stenopelmatus), four or five centipedes (brownish ones - not the big yellow gun one), several beetles, a cache of seeds (probably pocket mouse), some burrows (about 1/2" in diameter) that could have been made by skinks, but no skinks. At the top of the ridge, just about 100 yards south of the power line and 50 feet north of the point where an old road reaches the ridge from the west, around a large rock outcrop, we found conditions that seem worth further investigation. The rocks were all damp, but not dripping as they were on July 5/ It was not as cold or quite as windy as on July 5). We dug down into the talus, close to the overlapping rocks and found that a mixture of light, soft, moist dirt and rock fragments extending down deep alongside. This material seems to have collected in a

The pocket probably formed by slipping away of the soil around, by erosion of the soil around the outcrop, or by receding of the outcrop itself than erosion. A combination of the first and last, with the second playing some part seems probable. Although it seems unlikely that much slippage has taken place in the hill here since it is mostly shale clear to the surface, not with a thick top layer of soil as noted on hillsides where slippage commonly takes place in those hills. Although we found no skinks in this place, it seemed to us like a good place for them and an easy place to dig. We found one adult male skink about 75 yards NW of the point just next to the power line and within 30 feet of the top of the ridge. It was under a rock that we won about 4" x 5" x 8", and part of a cluster rocks of that size & smaller. The fact that the eggs of nest no.1 have probably shrunk suggest that these nests are being kept too dry. This is supported by the fact that the egg in nest no.2 had a dent in the side of it two days ago when it was very dry but appears normal now and by the fact that, this we found no nests in the hill

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,

J. Rodgers -1942 Eumeces skiltonianus July 25 Nest No.5 (cont.) (Found on grassy slope of west side of San Pablo Ridge about 100' from top) and the uphill side was being broken down with a pick. Breaking it down involved picking out the larger rocks, then picking down the remaining dirt and rocks. As I broke away some dirt and rocks a large skink ran out. I caught her and at the same time noticed some eggs (5). The eegs were partly covered by fine soil that had almost certainly sifted in while I was digging. The eggs were in such light soil that covered a rock floor. The layer being about 1/2" thick. They were lying at what was then (result of my picking) the mouth of a tunnel about 30mm in diameter that sloped up at about a 15° angle along a rock floor and rock wall on one side. The tunnel extended only 20cm. The large rock that, when removed, exposed the nest was within 10-30 mm of the eggs, and projected out of the ground about 30 mm on the uphill side and 300 mm on the downhillside. It was one of the 25 or 30 rocks that marked the outcrop and attracted me to the spot to start digging. The parts of the other rocks were from 15 to 35 cm. in diameter and projected 5 to 30 cm. above the surface. This outcrop was concealed by grass from an observer 50-100 feet away. A 50± gram sample

J. Rodgers - 1942 33 Eumeces skiltonianus July 25 Nest No. 5 (cont.) (W. slope of San Pablo Ridge). Soil from around the eggs (under the egg, not loose stuff that has fallen in) contained 9.5% water by weight; i.e., water = 9.5% of water + soil. The eggs in this nest measured as follows: 16.1 x 10.5 mm, 15.4 x 10.9 mm, 15.6 x 11.1 mm, 15.6 x 10.7 mm, 16.1 x 10.9 mm. Aug. 10 Mrs. Vert. Zool., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Calif! Yesterday John Davis, Janet Failla and I went out at 8:00 - 10:30 am looking for skinks we hiked along the ridge on the west side of Grizzly Peak Boulevard and turned over many rocks without success. Many of these rocks had not been turned over before. We finally had some success on the south-facing grass slope about 200 yards north of the 1600 ft. bench mark near the rock retaining wall and culvert on G. P. Blvd. This was about 100 yards south of the location of nest No. 4 (see July 21, p. 31) and roughly 1/2 mi. SW Bald Peak. At this point John and I each dug out an immature skink and I dug out an adult with 5 young. I had dug out a hollow in the hill and was working up-hill picking down the bank. The ground here, like most of the ground in these hills, is a mixture of light sandy soil and rocks. I picked some of these rocks and dirt loose from the bank and a large

J. Rodgers - 1942 Eumeces skiltonianus Aug. 10 Mrs. Vert. Zool., Univ. Cal., Berkeley, Cal. Skink ran out of a small hole about 4" below surface and ran down into the hole he dug. It was immediately followed by three small skinks. He caught all 4, accidently killing two of the young. The adult bit my hand and refused to let go until I forcibly removed her about 30 seconds later. We then dug into the hole and got two more young skinks, making altogether 5 young and 1 adult. The hole these skinks were in was about 1" in diameter and ran back into the bank (made by me as dug) about 4"; it was immediately under a rock that was about 4" thick and whose upper surface projected above ground about "2". The young skinks were very delicate, their viscera showed clearly thru their pale gray bellies and the red scar of the umbillicus remained. The tail color same as live specimens: Tail between Salvia Blue (Pl IX, 49b) and Light Methyl Blue (Pl VIII, 47b). Dorsolateral lines Maize yellow (Pl IV, 19 f); Buff yellow (Pl. IV, 19d) anteriorly. Lateral lines Maize yellow. Sprinkling of brown along median part of dorsal area; otherwise black between dorsolateral lines and on sides. Tip of tail black:

J. Rodgers -1942 36 Eumeces skiltonianus Aug 12 Mrs Vert Zool, Univ Cal, Berkeley, Calif. Ever since the young shinks and the parent of nest no. 6 have been in captivity, the young have been wandering to all corners of the cage. Although one or two of them have occasionally been found within two or three inches of the parents they have usually been scattered to more distant parts. They have been seen on top often and also under the edge of the lowest board. The parent has been quiet, has not moved about much and has not shown the young any attention that I have observed. One young (now 3420) was found dead in the nest cage this morning. The gut was found to contain a wad of dirt together with some yolk; the stomach contained dirt. Aug 15 Yesterday, we noted that the eggs in nest no. 5 were in a damper situation than where they were found, so opened up 1/4 of the cage exposing the eggs. During the night the female pulled them back under another part of the covering and filed dirt up so as to "seal" them in. They shrank some during the night. She may have been trying to get them in where they would be in more humid air and they may have dried too much as result of exposure to air even the soil was more moist than in situation where they were found.

J.Rodgers -1942 37 Enneorus skiltonianus Aug.17 Unkert.Zoo, Univ. Calif, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. The last two remaining young of nest no.6 (see p.228), nos.3421 and 3422 were found two compartments over (at the other end of the aquarium). One was dead and had a big hole eaten out of the side of its head (no.3421). The other was alive, but I killed it and the parent (3419). at 9:00 o'clock. This morning instead of nest no five eggs in nest no.5, I found 4 young skinks and the shells of two eggs I could not find the fifth young anywhere in the aquarium, though one of the eggshells could have been a spoiled and crushed egg. 11:45 am. I opened the stomach of the parent and found one egg shell and one complete egg. She apparently ate the egg that didn't hatch. These young may have been hatched any time since last noon and this morning. Two of the young have pieces of membrane, or whist dirt has gathered hanging onto the umbillicus. The other two have distinct round brown spots (or cast) where the umbillicus has pulled free. They must have been hatched within the last 24 hours. This also leads to the conclusion that the young of nest no.6 were more than 24 hours old, since the mark when the umbilicus was torn loose on those of no.6 was only a faint groove. These four young lizards + an embryo taken out of the unhatched egg that was taken from the stomach of the 7,

Investigation of the embryo shows it to be nearly fully developed. The scales of the supraorbital region on the left side are deformed, causing the snout to be pulled over toward that side - out of line with the lowerjaw. A large mass of yolk was still present, and it contained about 35 white cysts (?), each about .6 to .8 mm in diameter. Number of spec.

I collected 5, and let 1 get away and saw one running on top (it escaped down a crack in the ground) Walt and Alice saw 3 others running thru the grass on the surface. One of the ones I caught was under a rock that could have been turned over by hand / not more than 3 or 4" under the general surface of the ground). The one that got away (a young one) was also near the surface. They seem to be near the surface again now, as they were in May and June and before.

Eumeces skiltonianus Sept 8 (cont.) Mrs. Vert. Zool, Univ. Caly., Berkeley, Alameda, Caly. they could be said to be as common as they were in June. Also, the fact that 4 were seen on the surface would seem to support our earlier hunch that they are [illegible] more active during the summer than would seem to be the case judging by the number caught. During the summer months there is much more cover, due to became formed by matted grass and cracks in the ground. In the early spring months the cover is much more limited and the surface rocks make up the greatest part of it. This may explain the more frequent occurrence of skinks under rocks in the early spring, and their apparent greater abundance then. The only other factors that have been observed, that might [illegible] explain different abundances at different times are the tendency for females to stay with the eggs, that may be laid in deeper places, and the appearance of young in August. Sept 6, Alice Kerr and I went to the same ridge; I found 3 skinks. We heard many animals rustling in the grass that we could not see and felt certain because of the continuous character of the rustle that some were skinks. We spent 2 hours hunting (mostly digging rocks out of the hillside). This would not substantiate (nor disprove), the assumption made from the experience

Calif., Berkeley, Almon Co., Cal. of Aug. 23, that the skinks are as common (active, or available) now as they were in May and June Sept. 11 Yesterday, I arranged a thermometer to indicate temp. inside nest no. 3 (73114) At 4:00 pm today it read 33° and the therm. above ground read 26°. This is the highest temperature I have noted inside a nest yet, and also, the greatest difference between temperatures inside and outside nest. Sept. 14 Nest no. 3 temp. inside nest = 20°; above ground 22° 9:30 am Parent moved all six eggs to opposite (diagonally) corner (NE corner) of nest. This is the dampest corner. They were in the driest. I looked at the nest twice Friday and once Saturday. That was not more than on many other two day periods. This corner looks seemed too damp so I traded the damp cover of this quarter for a dry one that has a 3/4" hole in it. This may drive her to move the eggs again, but I am - for hope it will allow the soil in that corner to dry out some. I feel sure the eggs would spoil there. I have taken 3113 out & picked her, and removed the glass plate that separates her section from the section occupied by 3114 (of nest no. 3). This will allow 3114 twice the space she has. Eggs in Nest No. 2, shriveling; parent still with it.

The eggs in nest no. 8 are dirty; egg no. III, very dirty. I took it out and tried to wipe the dirt off, but with no success; so I washed it off. I left that section open for about 10 min. it dried some. Egg no. III was returned, and 5 min after the cover was put back on, the temperatures were: "inside nest = 40°; outside 33° - 1:30 pm. """" 44°; """" 32° - 2:30 pm. The egg in nest no. 2 disappeared. I killed the parent, WWD 3115, and found the egg in her gut stomach. The stomach also contained 3 large meal worms. I have not put any meal worms in the cage for at least four days, so that makes the supposition that the skink was starving, ate the eggs, then found the meal worms seem improbably correct. If I had just put some in the cage (after a long period during which I had not put any in) it might seem like a plausible supposition. The most likely explanation seems to be that the egg was eaten because it was spoiling. This is supported by the fact that the egg was observed to have shriveled yesterday (Sept. 14) and the fact that the parent of nest no. 5 ate the egg that didn't hatch (Aug. 37, Aug 17). The egg contained an embryo that was still about 5 mm. shorter (on it's vent) than one that would be ready to hatch. The embryo was partly spoiled, and fell apart in the pelvic

The parent was found this morning in the NE quarter of the newly accessible (sup. 43, Sept. 14) northern half of the terrarium. She was in a chamber that extended under 3 of the 4 quarters of this half, but that was completely sealed off from the exit (in the NW quarter). The eggs are in the dampest part of the 4 quarters of the south half. They could not be moved to the north half without carrying them up out of the hole and down the hole of the north half. I have removed all of the cover of the south half so the soil can dry out a little.

That is the only way this one (no I) could have gotten that much wetter than the others. This egg also seems less turgid than the others, and it has shrunk; it now measures 16.0 x 8.8 mm., Sept. 2, it measured 16.4 x 10.2 mm.

Harold Miller, Alice Kerr, Jean Kerr and I left Berkeley at 8:00 am. and arrived on the ridge at about 8:45.

Since we have hunted here by hand several times before, it may be that those rocks that were loose enough to turn over, had been turned over before or were too small or round.

Sunday morning, Nov 8, Frank Charles Libbey and I went to San Pablo Ridge, about 400 yards north of Bald Rock, to collect skinks. This was the first trip for this purpose since Oct 18, and the first since our first heavy rains. The ground is now moist, new grass is coming up, last year's grass is pretty well broken down, and what we to form a dense "undergrowth" is now matted down against the ground. Without speculating as to whether or not skinks in these hills "estivate" during the summer months, I would like to point out that the cover is much more restricted to rocks and underground holes and burrows now than it has been throughout the summer months, and that that might account for our finding more skinks at this time than any time since last spring.

J Radgers -1942 50 Eumeces skiltonianus Nov. 11 (cont.) Mus. Vert. Zool., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Calif. Two of us collected 13 skinks in 2 hours. Sibley found four adults within an area of 1 1/2 foot diameter and two of them were coiled together. I found three two young and one adult within 3 feet of each other. We never have found such concentrations before. All of these skinks were near the surface (all within 6"). Some were under or beside very small rocks, just under debris. Nov. 17. Mus. Vert. Zool., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. Two meal worms [the total contents of the stomach of no. 3419 (MV2 38691)] was removed and discarded today. Nov. 18 /see p. 51) Nov. 23 Mus. Vert.

J Rodgers -1942 51 Enmeres skiltonianus Nov. 18, 1942 Mrs. Viet Zool., Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. (Nov. 23, recp. 50) July 8+, 6 eggs were laid in one nest. August 16, I began to notice that the eggs were more moist than could be accounted for by the moisture added to the vivarium. One by one the eggs appeared very wet, and covered with dirt. They shiveled and mold grew on them. August 22, all the eggs of this nest were spoiled. These eggs were in the nest a total of 39-45 days. July 11, one egg was laid. September 15, it disappeared. I killed the parent, opened her stomach and found the egg. The embryo was partly spoiled. It was in the nest 65 days. July 15+, 5 eggs were laid. September 16, one egg was found wet and shiveled. One by one others appeared wet and shiveled, and the parent appeared to have lost interest in the nest. One or two of the eggs were several times found partly covered with dirt. On September 21, I opened all the eggs (only one still appeared normal, and one was shrunken and dried) under water. The embryos in the three eggs that were least shiveled appeared to be in good condition and nearly to hatching size, but no heart beat or flow of blood could be detected. These eggs were in the nest 62-67 days. I suspect that after waiting long past the time the eggs should normally hatch, the parents destroy them by biting and breaking them or by eating them. The above notes on this page constitute a brief and possibly incomplete summary of the history of three nests of eggs, laid in a vivarium in my office to M. V. Z.

Yesterday Nov. 26, Harvey Fisher, Viola Memmler, Freddie Fisher (age 4), my boys Ronnie (age?) and Teddy (ages 5), and I looked for skinks on the west-facing slope of San Pablo Ridge, 1700 ft., 400 yds NNW. Bald Peak, Contra Costa Co., Calif. Time spent collecting was equivalent to 4 1/2 man hours. This is the same place that I collected in on Nov. 22 and Nov #. We collected 11 skinks. They were all within 10" of the surface. Most of them were cold enough that they did not start to run when first exposed; some of them did, but not fast. All of them warmed up as soon as they were held in our hands for a minute or so and became quite lively. None of them came from under rocks that had been moved before. Most of them were dug out of the porous mixture of light soil and rocks, 3 to 8 inches under the surface. Five were found in one place and three in another where Harvey and I worked together breaking down the bank we had made with our picks. In both places, we started digging the rocks out of an extra steep place in the brush hillside, thus forming a bank that could be broken down easily, working up the hill. The skinks were found under the surface in places where no rocks (a very few of them small) projected above the surface. He [illegible] at high (1000) altitude. The weather was clear, bright and slightly crisp, with a few clouds moving across the blue sky & low fog over the delta region.

A haze also hung over the rest of the bay, and in the valleys east of the hills Dec. 17, 1942 Mrs. Vert. Zool, Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. This morning Walt Dalquest and I drove on the Walnut Creek road to a point about 3/4 mi. beyond the tunnel (to a place 1 3/4 mi. SE Bald Peak, 750 ft., Contra Costa Co., Calif.). We spent about an hour turning over rocks on the hillside within 100 yards of the road and got 9 skinks. We did not use a pick. This was the first time we had collected there. Conditions there are much damper than in the places we have been collecting. There is a big mud slide extending through the area, with a temporary pond on it and many boggy spots. However, most all the skinks were found on higher drier parts. There are many rocks in the area, most of which probably came down with the mud. The striking thing about this day's experience, that the great number of amphibians seen as compared with what was seen on other trips since last spring. No saw the first Ensatina, Batrachoseps, and Gila that have been seen for several months. We saw many young Anides and Batrachese. We caught our first snakes for many trips also. One 20 Contra and one small rattlesnake. The skinks were all in small hollows under

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.

Wright, April 3, 1942, in woods bordering Mt Hood highway, 8.7 mi SE Sandy, Clackamas Co., Oregon (Type Locality). Back between Burnt Umber and Walnut Brown (Pl XXVIII, 9", l). The outer edges of the area are lightest and more reddish, nearer Prussian Red than Ocher Red (between Pl XXVII, 5"; j and k), as is the dorsal side of the tail. Scattering of fine black markings over back and head. Irregular dorsolateral line black, sides gray mottled with black, belly with more black down arrow than gray. V = brownish on account of light internal organs showing through. B = silvery gray. Rea body made trackways of this individual and found that the hind foot drops into the front foot track on the second step (secondary overlap). Batrachoseps have tertiary overlap. This indicates much shorter coupling than in Batrachoseps. Also, the axis of the foot is thus the fourth toe same than this in this salamander, as in Batrachoseps. It runs thus between the third and fourth in Plethodon. The feet are bigger than those of Batrachoseps.

The pool is in an otherwise dry stream bed east of the road and about 50 feet north of a bridge crossing the stream bed and leading to a farmhouse one or two hundred yards east of the road. No. 2707 will be skeletonized. It may be a male, not of breeding condition.

J. Rodgers - 1940 Rana boylii boylii Oct. 12-13 Austin Creek, 80 ft., Mis Cagaders, Sonoma Co., Calif. Yellow-legged frogs were common along the creek. They are highly variable in size which, I suspect, is what one would expect this time 2 year is so soon after the breeding season - which is probably long. Some are smooth gray on the back and some are mottled or blotched. JR 2700 looks much like muscosa. About one-third of the specimens had red in their backs - probably red-leg (disease). Some appeared all reddish brown as a result, and some quite reddish. Where there was not much red on an individual, it was concentrated along the dorsolateral lines. Nos. 2703 (J. Rodgers) and 3655 (Alden Mille) are among the reddest. 298 (Harvey Fuller) has much red in the back.

Marked, 4BH (σ), 4LH (ζ), and forked tail (2ψ). They are given my catalogue numbers as follows: 4BH (2712), forked tail (2713), 4LH (2714). 2712 σ has been in captivity at least 6 months; may have been infected with protozoa by Jacob Frenkel; has been living on ledge outside of window of my office for a month. 2713ζ has been in captivity since last May, has been active, and appears to be in good condition. [Though 2712 has been quite active most of the time, there have been periods of a week or two when 2713 (in same cage) dominates him. At least, 2712 didn't get up onto his perches, and lay quietly on the sand. 2712 has never appeared as sleek and fat as 2713]. 2714 ζ was brought in about 10 days ago, put into a cage, and has been out of sight since then. 2712 has been living on the ledge outside my window for a month or more. It has eaten many meal worms that have been thrown to him, and has actually come inside at least one. Yesterday Saturday (this is Monday) I made a box for the ledge that I figured would give the lizards shelter, loose soil and perches [see diagram on p.2]. This morning, before 2712 had come out of the box, I put 2713 and 2714 in also. It was cool (about 15° above frost) that morning. It is clear and slightly

Early the morning when I opened the contraption, 2712 was in the compartment that was filled with shredded paper towel. At 2:15 pm, 2712 and 2713 were out. 2712 was on the dirt; 2713 was on the ledge west of the box. I opened the window suddenly and 2712 ran right off the edge of the distant fell to the ground below. He apparently was unhurt. I lifted the lid and found 2713 buried in the dirt in compartment no.6. Nov.13 2712 was the only one out yesterday. Stayed under the same out in the open last night, and came out this morning. I lifted the lid and found 2713 in compartment no. 9 and 2714 in comp. 6, both were buried in the dry dirt/sand with their backs partly exposed. Nov.16 George Mansfield brought me two males that were collected in Santa Clara Valley sometime this fall.

About Nov. 28, I looked for nos 2718 (4RF) and 2719 (4LF), the lizards brought to me by George Mansfield, Nov. 16. I could not find them. Apparently they have left. Today about 4:30 pm. I opened up the retreat and found 2712 ♀, 2713 ♂, and 2714 ♀. No. 2712 was just shedding. No. 2714 has not been out, except when I took her out, since she was put in. No. 2713 has been attacking 2712 four times in the past three weeks. 2712 usually stay on the dirt most of the time. 2713 comes inside the window every day or two and crawls along between the cages and the window. Dec. 23 There has been considerable rain the past two days, including some very heavy showers. 1:00 pm 2712 and 2713 were out. I opened up the retreat and found it very wet inside. No. 2714 was inside, half buried in wet sand. Dec. 24. 2712 and 2713 have apparently been out all night in the rain. They are huddled (not compactly) into a corner in the concrete shelf and against the concrete wall. They are wet. Dec. 26. I opened the retreat found 2712 and 2714 in com- partments 3 and 6. 2713 is inside the window. The dry sand put into the retreat Dec. 23 seems to be soaking from the bottom up slowly.

J. Rodgers -1940 Iriturus similans Oct. 13 Austin Creek, 80 ft., 1 mts Cazadero, Sonoma C., Calif. About 15 salamanders were seen in a pool of the creek at the Berkeley City Camp. It I collected five (with the aid of John Davis and others). They are entered as 2693-2697 in my catalogue. Two I asked for bugging (for them will be cleared and stained for skeletons). The pool was about 20 feet long, more or less spindle shaped, 9 feet wide at the widest, and about four feet deep at the deepest. It was clear and quiet, with with a part of the stream about 18" across and averaging 1 1/2" deep entering at the NW and leaving at the SE where it connects with the main stream. Most of the main stream bed is dry and gravelly. Two of the salamanders were in amphiumas.

J. Rodgers -1942- 1942 Iriturus torosus July 5. 2 mi. SE Bala Peak, 1080 +/- ft., Contra Costa Co., Calif. Alden Miley, Dan McGaggart Cowan, Bob Stare and I were on this ridge at 6:45 am. looking for skinks. (see more description under Eumeces skiltonianus, p.20) Many times in such dry grassy ridges as this, we have found Iriturus - most commonly small ones about the size of my no. 3 3/4 (annulent vent length 41 mm). We have always considered it an extremely dry, hot place for an amphibian. (we have found Oнеидеа at least as commonly as Iriturus). The weather was cold enough this morning to make our hands feel numb, a strong wind was blowing, and fog was blowing over the ridge densely enough to cut out visibility to as little as 30 yards at times and always to 75 yards or less. The fog was collecting on the rock that crop out at points along the ridge and the water was running down them and dripping from them. On the talus around one of these outcrops we found 6 Iriturus. They were crawling over the talus. No observation was made of whether or not they were foraging. One Oнеидеа was also seen moving about. This shows that the "hot dry" ridges of the Bala hill are not always hot and dry, and that these poikilotherms can easily take advantage of the available moisture even at low temperatures.

J. Rodgers -1940 Uta stansburiana Feb.29 Mrs. Vert. Zool., Univ. Calif, Berkeley, Calif. 3:20. Mr. Cunningham brought a honey bee into my office to feed to my lizards. I put it in a cage with 2 Sceloporus o. o. and 2 Uta stansburiana. The largest Ute and the smallest Sceloporus had a chance at it, but paid little attention to it. The largest Sceloporus was eying it, when a small (about 1/2 gram) Uta dashed over from about 10" away and grabbed the bee by the throat and shook it; let go, sidled around, came in and shook again, moved back and circled around again. It was obviously hurt, but the bee moved around so its abdomen pointed toward the Ute. The Ute grabbed again but let go immediately, and as if it has trouble getting loose. A small part of the posterior part of the abdomen of the bee stuck out of the Ute's mouth. It scraped its mouth on the ground, and backed about 5 inches away and stood high on all four legs. For the next 6 minutes it stood still, high on its legs but not as high as at first, and twisted its body back and forth as if it was having cramps.
