Gullion 1949 Sphenomorphus coeruleus -1- Aug 22 French Camp, 3100 ft. Humboldt Co., Calif. - 1 yellow backed specimen shot from a log on the edge of a small wire-grass ( ) 3p.m. clearing on the edge of dense Tan Oak forest. The animal came out of a wire grass - broken fern- fallen Madrone leaf mess, ran onto the log where I shot it. While set up in full exposure to afternoon sun. - A couple of minutes later I got another, smaller and darker backed lizard out from under the same bush of Madrone. This time I caught it alive. Another one, quite large, was seen nearly, but could not be collected. Aug 24 - same locality- 1 with a regenerated tail taken in wire grass between 2 clumps of madrone, a second, darker one taken in wire-grass as it started for shelter under Tan Oak. Both in early morning, sun is just beginning to get into this clearing and the morning chill is beginning to dissipate, tho it is still cool. The first was in the sun, the second where sun had not yet reached it. Both were rather sluggish. A third darker one was missed as it scotched to shelter under a Tan Oak clump. - The stubby tailed animal # 80- has a plain orange-brown back, grey head and light gray underside, #81 the long-tailed
