Hendrickson 1950 Journal Nov. 19 Villavicencio, 1600 ft; Meta, Colombia, S.A. To Instituto Roberto Franco in A.M. Lee Dr. Stebbins notes for description of buildings, equipment, and work being done there. Vaccination and other medical service is carried on, as well as research work. We hunted around the grounds of the Institute and in a brush-and-grass-filled field N. of the Institute. Saw several Anoles and two skinks, but was unable to collect either. Dr. Stebbins collected both, with net and shotgun. Both these lizards jumped and climbed with great agility through dense tangles of brush and vines. Those I saw were all from the ground surface to 2' above it - usually in the plant tangles, rarely on the ground. I saw a pair of Ameiva viridis, the male following the female, working along on the ground in a dense thicket (#1565). I shot the female; in about 3 min., the male returned, found the female and began and seized her as if to attempt copulation. I shot spared the male (#1564). (see species accounts for temperatures)
