Greene, H. 1980 10 December (continued) and yellow ventral markings. These latter consist of a yellow blotch over the chest, another over the vent and a midventral yellow stripe connecting the two. The yellow is quite bright, almost slightly orange. The females are dark gray and brown and smaller. Since this wasn't on my collecting permit, Nelly kept them all. Once on the beach and nearly we encountered several Tropidurus pleurians. Some were seen foraging on wet sand then running from to the cobblestone shelf beyond the sand - into which they quickly escaped when chased. I photographed and caught 2 male that took refuge in small piles of great trash in the sandy sparsely grassy field beyond the cobblestones. Nelly said that when she brought Paulo Vanzolini here several years ago there were much outcrops and T. pleurians was much more common. Walked back had a coke at a roadside bar, and took bus back to Ijima - one of those little blue ones w/ arms and legs dangling out windows, which was shorter than I was and in the aisle of which I stood for 1 hour!
