State Park, San Diego Co., Calif.
This morning more than 20 of these
lizards were collected. They were found
beneath rocks in a rather open, barren
area at the edge of the forest. There
are areas of exposed granite bedrock,
worn smooth and with mortar holes, and
numerous small rocks (1' diameter)
scattered over the bedrock and on the
soil in between.
The dorsal pattern of eight adult females
is composed of chevrons, as in the coastal
form. Two adult females, however, have
a linear pattern like the desert form.
