accent of a clock being wound, but has a faintly
frog-like quality. Took 2 Band-tail Lizards
(997-998) from about 12' in a scrub oak in a
fairly bushy oak grove. They were sitting mo-
tionless & silent. On skinning, found their crops
full of black berries and steminate catkins,
perhaps oak flowers. Shot a Sceloporus
variabilis (999) from the top of a pile of oak
faggots, and a Sceloporus malachiticus (1000)
from the top of a large oak log on the ground,
all in the same general area. In the afternoon
Gealy brought me a ♀ Sceloporus malachiticus
(♂-??? 1001) which seemed gravid, with distended
belly. Also a Sceloporus variabilis (1002) and an
Anolis undulata (1003). These three lizards
he collected from fallen logs in the coffee grove
behind the Ranch-house.

Went hunting in a.m. Took a Setophaga fusca
(1004) from 30' up in an oak as it foraged actively.
Further along ran across a flock of Green Jays
perched in the coffee bushes by the roadside. They
utter a very distinctive, coarse hooting noise,
pitched very low. One flew up about 15' to the top of
a shade tree, and I shot it. The bird then rolled
down a very precipitous bank to a dry creek bed
