Davis 742 Lake Omega, voo', Dept St. San Miguel, El Salvador Jan. 29, 1942. yellow-green below, with a yellow dorso- lateral stripes and yellow stripe on upper lip. Returned to camp. A native came in and wanted to know if I would like to try a crocodile. I went to look at it. It was lathered under a tree near a small fishing settlement about 1/2 mile e. of camp. I bought it for 3 colones (9.70). It was caught in the lake near the village. Told the native to catch me another. Spent the p.m. skinning the crocodile (11/15'). Went night-hunting after supper. Located another ringneck snake by sound, in the leaves at the side of the trail (11/17). Both the geckos and ringnecks seem to be restricted to those portions of the trail which run under the trees and are consequently leaf-littered. I have not seen them in grass, weeds, or scrub. Took a narrow- mouthed toad (11/6) near the stream at camp. Shot an opossum in a tree 1/2 mi. W of camp. Gave it to Hildebrand. Jan. 30, 1942. Went about 50 yds. from camp and shot a Saucrothia deilki (1121) from a tree near the stream. Also a Hydorhis elizice (1122) from the same tree. Came back to camp and stiton Native name of this flycicle is "rejequilla"
