J. Rodgers - 1943 247A Mrs. Vert Zool, Univ. Cal., Berkeley, Cal. April 20, 1943 Rec 7031 (cont) Puerto Canyon, 250 ft, 5 mi. W. Patterson Stanislaus Co., Cal. April 12, 1943 in the U.S. Navy and on a 30 day leave. At this point, the "canyon" is a wide valley, with a stream meandering through it. The country is grass- covered, with no trees for within 1/2 mile, except the cottonwoods that line the stream. The skinks were found under rocks along a gully that had a trickle of water running down it. The gully is only 4 - 8 feet deep in the part where we collected. We stopped at a place 1 mi. S. from handing to turn over some boards around an old pump house, and Cook saw a pink tailed skink, but was unable to catch it. The ground was light and loamy here and the growth of grass was rich and green. 3703 Uta stansburiana col. by S.F. Cook, Jr. 3704 " " 3705 Emeres gillberti " 3706 " " col. by C.P. North 5 mi. W.
