One of the animals obtained by the Patterson party in July to August, 1972, had been taken on the outside wall of the doctor's house in Urumaco. Again, most specimens observed were among the branches of piles of dead plants buried in sand (at Rio Seco, one to a pile). In another area one specimen was seen lying motionless on a cobble in the full sunlight. Another in still another area was seen on open ground in full sunhght, \'ery cryptically colored and detected only by its motion. The November 1972 party found males widely spaced out on top of the pipe line that runs much of the length of the Isthmus of the Paraguana Peninsula. Some were displaying. Others had climbed to the top of posts, including fence posts. The re- mainder, taken by day, including all females and the one juven- ile, were on the ground in bare open spaces. None were seen.
