Greene, H. 1980 13 December Rented car and visited Hermann Nuñez at the Natural History Museum. Saw live Tachygnis peruviana, a slow moving, inoffensive snake. Examined the callopistes Mark caught - only one feeble attempt to bite and no "gizz lips" a la C. flavipunctatus. After map, took off to the hill near town. Fondo San Carlos de Aporquindo, Los Dominicos, 20 Km (air) E. Santiago, Santiago Prov., Chile This is open grassland w/ scattered shrubs (Baccharis, Muhlerbechic) and short Acacia trees, flanked by steep slopes of protional and some nice rock outcrops. A very hot day tho a little snow can be seen on the peaks of the nearby ridge. Photographed L. monticola on top of rock wall, >= 1.5m high, basking perpendicular to late afternoon sun. Dialemsus lemniscatus in yellow grass and on ground - very cryptic and wary - you see only a fleeting shadow and this little lizard is 1-3 m away and often still under the grass. I suspect it of lateral undulation and limb folding, but the movements are so fast and obscured by the grass that I couldn't be sure. Saw an adult Callopistes maculatus cross the road and then run
