They are evidently rare in this part of the country.
Three were seen on the way from San Ignacio to San
Salvador.
April 5, 1942
More of the same three lizards. Collecting dif-
ficult without shot-pistol, but Sritz is very adept
at securing lizards with a stick. Aulis and
Brownheads are easily collected
by hand.
April 6, 1942
Had a severe thunderstorm & rain last night.
Very hot & steamy around here today. A native
crought in a Gymnathalmus sunichresti'
which he saw crawling from under a pile of
Adobe bricks. This is the only specimen of this
lizard I have ever seen. Evidently the rain
brought it out. Sritz and I obtained 4 Ameiza undulata
from the stream bed below camp.
April 7, 1942
On the way back to Metepec saw 2 Maloya agilis in
Agave fences. As much as we had another heavy rain
last night, it begins to look as though some species of
lizards are brought out more into the open when the
ground is wet & may be more common during the wet
season. One of the lizards was collected with a
hand full of rocks.
