"cont'd"
in a "clean-up" operation. But, before
reaching the area, we stopped 1 km.
NW of Kenitna on the beach road and
collected 2 Acanthodactylus erythraeus,
1 juvenile (1159) under a rock in the
open, and an adult (1158) in the
Eucalyptus forest. DATA ARE:
1158, φ,
8.4 g, 70+128C, 2 yolked follicles L, and 2
yolked follicles R. AND 1159 ?, 1.6g (dead),
44+70mm (died, no tissues).
At MEHDIYA-PLACE ruins we
found one Blanus cinereus (1161, σ♥, 5.0g,
185+7), 3 Tarentola mauritanica (1162,
died, 5.6g, 56 SVL; 1163, σ♥, 7.4g, 66+55R;
1164, σ♥, 15.5g, 84+86 B), and one Chalcides
ocellatus (1160, φ, 26.75g, 124+130).
And we quit early because I
am not feeling well. But we are
both annoyed at the diversity and
the number of lizards that are distributed
through this small area of habitat.

Suffering from a fever of 40°C (=104°F)
and am in a hotel receiving a
doctor's attention, although I am unable
to speak with him. Don't recall
much except I perspire and sleep
a lot. Not much food--content!
