K Dixon 1951 Journal 48. Apr. 12 1 mi. SW Leon Springs, , Bexar Co., Texas. I worked here in an area of juniper-oak woodland from 9:00 - 11:40 am. I was accompanied by D.J. Bullard of San Antonio. The land on which we hunted (leased by owner of B-29 cafe in Leon Springs) was used as a deer-hunting preserve (reported $7.00 per day charged for hunting privileges).

I saw a lizard, whitish and depressed, among small rocks along a streamcourse, possibly a Holbrookia
