in search of insects. It was surprising how far one of these 

 little lizards could jump from one rock to another and how 

 quick its movements were in darting after ants or grass- 

 hoppers." The stomachs of four specimens contained (July 

 26), (1) ten wood-ants, one small brown June beetle, and 

 two geometrid larva; ; (2) twenty small sand-ants, and two 

 small fragments of green leaves ; (3) seven large winged 

 female wood-ants; (4) one small brown June beetle, one 

 small worker wood-ant, and five large winged female wood- 

 ants. 



Miss Atsatt states: "The adult lizards are found on 

 rocks, pine or cedar trunks or stumps. The juvenals were 

 found more often in the shade in dead grass. Around Ful- 

 ler's Mill they were not shy and were reported as even al- 

 lowing themeslves to be taken with the hand. At Santa 

 Rosa Peak, however, they were too lively to be noosed. The 

 ones observed in the valley by Hidden Lake were surpris- 

 ingly wild, even on a cold gray morning darting immediately 

 under the rocks."
