Grease, H. 1970 November 12 (continued) from dirty lime to a nice powder line green. Also, it defecated w/in the last couple of days - wetball, seems unlikely it was hurtly when I found it. Also yesterday once when I checked the bottle it stuck w/out freezing a gape. ~1/45h I walked down the road to the NW of Ruhigha for ~1 km, until I met Jens and Jim, then returned for lunch ~1400 h. At 1220 h several Adolphus sp. esaped into dense underbrush between the road and adjacent SW facing rock face; it is sunny and warm, not hot. At 1223h caught an adult Adolphus in grass beside road that sought refuge under a small rock. Scanned roadside vegetation slowly, hoping for Otberis nutschei - said to be the commonest snake locally, although no one has seen it since we arrived. At 1330h met up w/ Jens and Jim, who have caught (w/ rubber band shots) ~5 more Adolphus and taken cloacal temperatures, and found two more communal nests. Walking back Jens shoots a hatchling (?) Adolphus at 1338 h., I am up on the sunny/shade bobbled rock face. "Site 5" was under flaking rock ~1.2 m up on rock face, a mass of 28 eggs in an area of ~20 cm high and 15 cm wide. There were 17 "old" eggs w/ slit shells and roots growing through them, in "clutches" (adherent groups) of 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, and 5 eggs. There were 11 "fresh" eggs in adherent "clutches" of 1 (14.6 x 10.9), 1 (14.6x 10.5 mm), 1 (16.8 x 10.8 mm), 4 (16.4 x 10.7, 17.5, 17.2 x 10.8 mm), and 4 eggs (16.5 x 9.6, /6.2, 15.7 x 8.9 mm). Thus a total of ~7 clutches @ 4 eggs/clutch. The
