San Juan Mine, 7 1/2 mi. S.E. Metepec, 1600, Def. St. Salvador, El dor Salva- April 4, 1942 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.
