Thorius is a very small salamander - the largest collected was ~4cm - and is dark brown with hints of a lighter brown dorsal stripe. C. chiroptera was similar in size to both Pseudoeurycea sp., but plain brown in color and no tail constriction. I did not observe these species very closely, and other differences certainly could be noted on further examination. Thorius was common and found under many of the large logs where the ground was moist - I collected ~16c myself. Also taken from this site were: 1 Barisia imbricata ♀ - possibly gravid an alligator lizard commonly found in bunchgrass pine in this area (T. Pappenfuss). It was found under bark. 3 Eumeces lynxae similar in appearance to E. skiltonianus, but with an extra stripe in the middle (5 total) -all were found under bark of standing stumps. 6. Sceloporus scaralis 10♂,2♀(1 gravid), 3 juv. -black "collar" on sides of neck only, greenish sides, browner dorsum. Bright blue belly patches (typical Sceloporus) and blue mottled throat. This species bears live yug. All were identified by Ted. All were collected. D. Good saw a blue-throated humming bird at this site also.
