Nordricken 1950 Ameiva Nov. 1 1-5 km. N Villavieja, 1400 ft., Huila, Colombia, S.A. Took one (#1489) just N of Villavieja, in tall grass on the R.R. embankment. Its temp. was 37.2°C. Shade temp. then (12:00 M.) was 32°C. This animal two was one of a pair flushed at this point. They were within 12" of each other when first noted. Two other lone animals were seen on the return walk: one beside the R.R. tracks just S of the Quebrada Lajas bridge, the other about 1/8 mile below (5) the bridge near camp. Both were in tall grass. The (12"/18") last of the two apparently went down a hole, although I could not locate the hole. Nov. 2 Saw one Ameiva (glimpse) in foot-high grass on R.R. embankment about 200 yds. S of bridge near camp. It was alert and shy and I could not approach it with a snare. The shade temp. of the air was about 30°C. Nov. 3 Saw a small individual (about 4"-5" snout- tail length) in tall grass beside R.R. tracks just S of bridge near camp. Caught an immature (RCS # 4988) specimen in brush at camp.
