-3-
Sept 10 Red Mtn., 5300 ft., 14 mi. S Hayfork, Trinity Co., Calif.-
in an open area of scrubby Brewer Oaks. The
sun has been on this area for perhaps 1/2 hour
and the temperature on top of the leaf litter
where this animal was foraging is 61 OF.
- South Dubahella Mtn., 5700 ft., 12 mi S Hayfork, Trinity Co,
California - 1 with a black and white banded
tail, with a light gray breast, a gray head
with black spots, and a black and yellow
mottled back was collected under a
Brewer Oak on the crest of the SW ridge
of South Dubahella Mtn at the 5700 ft elevation.
Ground is covered partially with Gerbonetus
prostratus and the Brewer Oak. This
animal apparently was just on the edge of
the Brewer Oak cover. The area is exposed
to sun from sunrise until perhaps 4 p.m.
The temperature under the 1/2 foot high oak is
now (1:45 p.m.) 77 OF.-A second, yellow-
brown lizard was taken much lower on
at 5500 ft.
the same ridge in needle litter under a
Brewer Oak around the base of a Jeffrey
Pine. This location should be shaded
about 1/2 the day, but would get the
full effect of afternoon sun. The temp.
where this animal was taken is 75 OF.
