Small permanent stream in primary forest at site 1. Small streams such as this one were common in areas of primary forest at all sites. in loose soil, usually only in primary forest from 50-1000 m elevation. This species is apparently rare or absent in early second- growth forest. Stomach contents indicate that this species is a generalized insectivore, however, part of a skink tail (Mabuya or Sphenomorphus species) was found in one stomach. Specimens examined: 41725. LSUMZ 41719- Brachymeles schadenbergi oriental is.— This fossorial species was often caught in drift fences after long, steady rains. It is found under logs and in leaf litter and loose soil in primary and second-growth forests at elevations from 50-10(H) m (Brown and Alcala, 1980). A female collected July 5 had three developing embryos , , and mm in her oviduct. Brown and Alcala (1980) stated that this subspecies is ovoviviparous and usually has 2 or 3 young. This species is also a generalized insectivore. In addition, a lizard tail (probably Brachymeles species) was found in one specimen's stomach. Specimens examined: LSUMZ 41726- 41729. Lamprolepis smaragdina philippinica.— This was a very common arboreal species in cultivated areas and villages, and a single specimen was taken in a coconut plantation on Mount Talomo between 700 and 800 m elevation. In contrast to Brown and Alcala (1980) and Alcala (1986), I never observed this species in primary or second-growth forests. My study sites did not encompass.
