spent hunting in sandy mesquite
hummock area of campsite. Cremidophorus
seen but none captured. In mesquite
E of town shot several C. tessellatus.
Extremely hot and mid day period spent
in shade of A. and M. College. A puddle
had formed under conifer at edge of
roadway because of leaking pipe.
Some lizard on two occasions dashed
through grass into water and remained
hidden (submerged?) in spite of search.
Could this be a Eunice?; it was appar-
ently the size of a large Cremidophorus.

searched about river. One S. undulatus
and one C. quularis taken. In late afternoon
