P. Zweifel 300 June 25, 1951 301 Lerhonotus multicernatus wellii Paso Puerco Public Camp, Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, San Diego Co., Calif. At about 7:15 this evening at the outdoor theater I heard a rustle in the leaves beside a stone foundation, but found nothing. Later on, about 8:15 PM, I returned to the same spot and caught an alligator lizard going into a hole in the masonry. This was shortly after sundown. A few minutes earlier at my cabin the air temperature was 12°C. Unfortunately I had no thermometer when the lizard was caught. The ground was undoubtedly much warmer than the air. The lizard is a gravid female. July 8, 1951 Krum Valley Falls Public Camp, Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, San Diego Co. When frightened at the edge of a small pond, an adult Lerhonotus, an adult swam rapidly across about 6' of still water and ran out on the opposite shore.
