June 2, 1938 Yesterday afternoon at 4:00, I moved
the lizard trap to a position stated at bottom p. 127.
At 5:30, I found a skink in the trap. The skink is

evidence of a dorsal pattern. At 7:30, I looked
at the trap again, and this time found a green
skink with a reddish orange head, probably
a male. There was no bait on the trap at this
set. This morning, this was nothing in the trap,
but the back and/or door was lifted up and
slid forward as if something long enough to
climb had been caught during the night.
June 3, 1938 I did not catch any lizards in the
trap yesterday (June 2). This morning, between
eight and ten o'clock, I caught a Croniodophorus.
I reset the trap in a place next to large rocks at
the foot of the rocky hillside and, this evening,
captured a skink. (Between 4:20 and 5:20 this
evening, I shot 4 skinks [trap]).
