barely see it back under the brush so I aimed
wounded carefully and shot. Immediately, a brown
headed skink ran out of the brush. I caught it,
and looked under the brush. There was my
orange headed one dead. I had shot two
skinks with one shot, not knowing that
there were two there. This noon, Baldway
brought trapoles back from Rock Spring
that look like Ulyaj; possibly Style areicolor.

I snared a Uta and put in the "doodle bug hole." Just
as it started up the side, [illegible] my attention was
distracted by a large green skink with an orange
head. I tried to snare the skink but it went down
a hole at the base of a bush. I dug the bush out
and followed out all the holes I could but didn't
get the skink. I snared another Uta and put it
in the "doodle bug hole". It ran up the opposite side
with very little less ease than it runs along the
level.

Today was a little windier than yesterday. It
was windy enough to stay to make snaring
lizards difficult. I collected another orange
headed green skink, several Cremidophones, and
snared an adult collared lizard. This afternoon,
I helped E. Aldrick photograph reptiles.
