Cnemidophorus lemniscatus
Nov. 1 5 km. N. VillarrĂa, 1400 ft., Huila, Colombia, S.A.
them stop suddenly and - with the body
motionless - "flutter" one fore paw rapidly.
Neither the stimulus nor the effect of this
is apparent to me. Dr. Stollins has
suggested that it might "sting" insects.
Nov. 2 When fairly cold, the "hard flutter" is
slowed down to a rather slow "waving",
but consistently occurs, nevertheless.
Perico today snared a female with
a male gripping her by the back
skin in the lumbar region behind
the forelimbs. The male did not
release his grip, and he carried them
to camp and arrived (about 1 minute
later) with them still together,
them male hanging onto the snared
female with a "bulldog" grip.
