Nov. 14 Bogota, 8700-8800 ft. Cundinamarca, Colombia, S.A.
Look at it at my leisure - sometimes I
delayed 5 minutes and he said the animal
was still just as he first saw it.
I stationed him to watch one animal;
7 minutes after being uncovered he reported
that it had crawled out of sight under
surrounding rocks. The animals were
commonly found loosely coiled!

In one case I uncovered two large individuals,
one resting mostly on top of the other.
The soil temp. was 14.4°C. The rock
measured roughly 15" x 8" x 5".
Dec. 5 Dr. Stebbins and I collected 3 adults
and some immatures in the same
locality where they were collected
before. The adults seemed much
less common under the rocks than
they were before. (rain diminishing?)
