Leiocephalus
Nov. 14 Bogota, 8800ft., Cundinamarca, Colombia, S.A.
Took one moving rather sluggishly across
top of a bracken-and-brush-covered
rockpile. This was on a W-facing
slope in "full sun" at the base of a
10'-30' cliff. On a sunny day I imagine
this would be one of the warmest spots
on this hillside. The animal was missing
one hind foot; the stump looked fairly
well-healed. Possibly this infirmity
accounted to some extent for its
seeming sluggishness.
