Several Hemidactylus gularis were seen in the cleared areas and along the edge of the forest. Sam Sweet caught two, and the Greer's caught four. In addition, Sam found one Eumeces brevilineatus below a fallen railroad tie, and shot a Sceloporus olivaceus from an exposed fallen log. 2100 hrs After lunch Allen called Alice Landauer at the MVZ in Berkeley to check on possible arrangements for our finally getting into Mexico.
