Davis 942 Lake Homega, 100', Dept San Miguel, El Salvador Jan. 28, 1942 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,
