Los Esesmiles, Dept, Chalatenango, Salvador
viper. His finger bled well and
swelled back past his knuckle.
The fang apparently scratched
him and perhaps dug in a
little just back of the nail of
his index fingers. For a
week he had a very sore hand.
Altitude 6400 ft.
The little brown lizards
which look something like
Eumeces were seen both
in the rain forest and on the
plain in the corn fields and
fern beds by me. The altitude of
the two taken were 7000 and 8000 ft.
The Sceloprus were
taken on the sunny side of dead
logs and oaks in the rain forest
region at an altitude of 8500 ft.
They were quite abundant. They
were dark green when seen
on the logs their color changing
to dirty gray when they were
shot. I saw one of this
species among the spines at
an altitude of 5000 feet.
