LORQUINIA 
15 
fallen in the bottom of a ninety foot well at an altitude of about 3000 
feet in a range of mountains about 20 miles south of Yucca, Arizona. 
One Collared I^izard, Crotaphytus collaris, (Tay). Noosed with fish- 
line near watering trough beside road at an altitude of about 4000 feet 
in a range of mountains about 20 miles south of Yucca, Arizona. 
One Zebra-tailed I^izard, Callisaurus draconoides, (Blainville) . 
Noosed at an altitude of about 2000 feet in a range of mountains about 
20 miles south of Yucca, Arizona. 
One Desert Tortoise, Testudo agassizii, (Cooper). Caught in road 
in California about 10 miles west of Needles. 
One of each of the above species was all that was brought back by 
lyyttle because he spent most of the four days of the trip in driving or 
snatching a few hours sleep at night. Among the rocks on the Cali- 
fornia side of the Colorado river, opposite Topac, Arizona, Lyttle saw 
a Chuckawalla, Sauromalus ater, (Dumeril), but was not spry enough to 
capture the elusive reptile, which darted through hidden channels 
among the stones and escaped to parts unknown. One other Desert 
Tortoise seen on the trip was unintentionally run over and mashed by 
the automobile in a desert road. 
On the entire trip only one snake was seen. This individual, with 
typical desert rapidity, did not pause for even a brief introduction, but 
departed in such haste that his identity was not, established. ,
