Rostorer 1942 Anniella pulchra Carmel, Monterey Co., Calif. March 7, 1942 Upon arrival at the Williams home in carmel, I was shown a specimen of Anniella which S.aidlaw had found in his mother's garden (sandy loam) near the beach. Mrs. Williams said that she had seen it bury itself tail first in the sand while Mr. W. said that it always went in head first. The lizard was removed from the sand of the aquarium and let go on the surface. Being a tactful beast, it studs both head and tail into the sand and then proceeded to bury itself head first. They seem to be not rare in the more sandy places in this vicinity.
