colorful highest on the animals' side, this exists on the
(#179)
legs as well. On one individual (of the 8 collected)
there are two dorso-lateral stripes of a dark
red brown which continue to just behind the eye, on this
specimen the upper side of all four legs is the same dark-brown.
On another, small salmon spots fuse to form lighter dorso-lateral
line (181).
These animals are not abundant; the eight
[illegible] were caught in about 5 hrs. of actual collecting.
I found that the best way to capture them is
to strip bark and moss from oak stumps and scrue-
tinize the cracks before opening the stump.

[illegible] few more animals, slow process. I started working
pine stumps more thoroughly today and found most
of today's cattle therein. One individual was also found
beneath pine bark [illegible] I think this is rare because
the bark on a pine stump separates from the wood
early, creating too large a gap for the zals. They live in
the pulpy wood towards the top of the stump I
find. Three (it's 186, 187, 188) found in such stumps have
a wholly light back of a medium to reddish brown,
