Ennereea gilberti
1/2 mi. W. of Old Fort Tejon, 3500', Kern Co., Calif.
May 1, 1946
2 adults were found and collected beneath rocks lying near a stream in the floor of an N-East Sweet Canyon about 1/2 mi. W. of Old Fort Tejon. The first specimen, no. 1687, was with a [illegible]. When the rock was overturned, the lizards ran in opposite directions. The Ennereea ran about 30' down stream, and disappeared beneath another rock. This was overturned gently, the lizard collected, the tail being broken off in the process. After-
men vigorously attempted to escape, and bit my finger through the cloth of the rep-tile bag after I had placed it therein. The second specimen (1686) was by itself under a rock, and remained in situ where it was collected. It did not struggle nor attempt to bite.
