Distribution. Cnemido'phorus bacatus occurs on San 

 Pedro Nolasco Island, in the Gulf of California, Mexico. 



Habits. This beautiful lizard was not common. Most 

 of the specimens taken were found around the nests of a 

 colony of brown pelicans, where they were seen catching 

 flies and the numerous insects attracted by the dead fish 

 and refuse. A few were found among the fallen cacti in 

 the deep gullies which run down to the sea coast.
