Arnold (Skegg),
1965
6 mi. E. Matamoros, Coahuila, Mexico
for UMI.
2) 10 Uma exul preserved whole (S.) Arnold (94-203)
3) 28 Una exul skinned & preserved for clearing & skinning
R.D.S.g90 691 F 11.1 gm., 157 mm. (72mm) 2+20v, 4-6mm ind.
R.D.S.692 F 7.7gm.; 145mm(64mm.); 10vum, 8mm dia.
3) 35 Uma exul prepared for skin & skeleton
RDS 693, S 28.5 gm.; 186mm(98mm); L.T. 8x6mm
694 8 22.1gm.; 191mm(86mm); L.T. 7x5 mm
695 8 18.5 gm.; 169 mm (90 mm); L.T. 6x5 mm
696 11.0 gm.; 156 mm (70mm)
697 14.0gm.; 183mm(88mm.)
S Phrynosoma modestum (SJA 206) 4.3gm.; 73mm.
(42mm) taken ~ 3 inches above ground in sn. dense
scrub x ~ 12:00 noon.
Several Cuenidophorus sighted;
one shot (SJA 207). While stalking one Cuemid, he (?)
made semicircle of 12" radius while flittinging laterally.
Thought @ 1st this gesture was directed @ me but
found instead a Crotaphytus wrighti among
mesquite (?) branches @ center of 'Cuemii' semicircle.
Two C. wrighti taken (SJA 204-205) & 2 others
sighted. #205 had particularly lg. stomach mass.
While I shot, Sage got a few body temp doses
on U.exul. Extricting shot Una from mesquite
in time for valid weighing was a major problem,
vicious spines.
