6 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM VOL. 126 
Foop.—Insects and other invertebrates plus an appreciable amount 
of plant material. 
TEMPERATURE.—Probably a heliotherm (fig. 2). 
Anolis punctatus 
Hasrrat.—In the forest, found in “mata de terra firme” and older 
second growth; not in “varzea” though this lizard probably occurs 
there at least occasionally. It was not found in the open, on isolated 
trees, or in young second growth. 
Individuals were seen most commonly on the trunks and branches of 
moderate to large trees up to four meters. They probably also climb 
up into the branches and lower crown. One individual was seen once 
coming to the ground to catch something. 
ABUNDANCE.—This is a moderately abundant species; usually single 
individuals were found, occasionally a male and female were found on 
the same perch or adjacent perches. 
Foop.— Insects and other invertebrates. 
TemperaTure.—A nonheliotherm (fig. 2). No basking behavior was 
seen. 
Anolis fuscoauratus 
Hasrrat.—In the “mata de terra firme,” in old second growth and at 
least edge of “varzea,” and not in the open areas on isolated trees or 
bushes, nor in young second growth. 
Individuals were seen sometimes on tree trunks but somewhat more 
frequently on bushes and slender twigs close to the ground; they were 
found usually below two meters but occasionally as high as three or 
four, and also they were seen on the leaf litter on the ground. 
AsuNnDANCE.—Moderately common. Usually isolated individuals 
were found, but once a male and tiny juvenile were found on the same 
tree. There is some suggestion that they group themselves in loose col- 
onies with adjacent home ranges rather than distributing themselves 
evenly or randomly over the available habitat. 
Foov.—Insects and other invertebrates. 
Tremperatoure.—A nonheliotherm (fig. 2). No basking behavior was 
seen. 
TENDAE 
Cnemidophorus lemniscatus 
Hasrrat.—Found in open areas where the vegetation is so sparse 
that there is bare, unshaded ground exposed between tussocks of grass 
or bushes and not in the forest or even young second growth. The juve- 
niles seem to occur in the most open parts of the habitat.
