Paul DeBenedictis 1960 Anolis Dec 28 18.6 mi E (by road) San Blas, Wayatit, Mexico. Gene [illegible] and I got 7 Anolis in the thich broad leafy - thorn forest near San Blas, along a small stream. We got most on logs in an open lava flow. All were active when found, and were seen mostly near termite nests. There were two main color phases - uniform yellow brown and brown with darker dorsal diamonds. In a banana patch we each got an Anolis crawling actively on the trunks on banana trees and on banana logs. The only requirement for Anolis here seems to be a patch of sunshine. Dec 29 We returned to this site again, but this time I got no Anolis. However I saw many. As before they are everywhere as long as there is a little sun light. the "skip" from spot to spot, seldom moving more than 6 inches at a time, but were hard to catch in all the vegetation. There is considerable variation in the patterns of the lizards at this site. Most are uniform or lightly mottled yellowish brown. A few are brown with darker middorsal diamonds - I saw one that had a yellow-brown middorsal stripe. There is a species of Sceloporus that occurs with them. The striped Anole was the only one I saw in the bushes, the rest are on fallen logs.
