over the dead leaves in the middle of the
rail. Also a gecko (1107), found in the same
type of place. Both these reptiles were located
by ear, although the snake did not make
much noise. This rugneck is of a different
species than the one at Mt. Cacaguatque,
as shown by measurements of SV front tovent,
Tail (187+16 for Cacaguatique specimen; 216+
115 for this one).
Jan. 29, 1942.
Went with Stinton as he visited his traps in
a.m. The traps were set in tho the grassland
northwest of Camp about 1/2 mi. near the lake
shore. Took a pair of Sceloporus, B+F, from at the
trunk of a tree surrounded by grass. A third
was brought in later by our native boy. Shot
a Basilisk from the grass near the tree where
I took the Sceloporus. This is the first one that
I have seen here that was not near water. Took
an Oxybelis (fulgidus?) by the side of the trail
about a mile W of Camp. When I saw it its
head was resting on the upper of a barbed wire
fence, and its body was draped over a branch
of a tree which got abutted against the fence.
Specimen made no effort to escape and seemed
very sluggish. Color brilliant green above,
