There are 244 captures of 19 lizards each with a minimum of 3 recaptures included in the fii^nre. convenient wav to estimate the approximate size of a home range from a few captiires. The minimum polygon method may give an indica- tion of the actual shape of the home range if there are a large number of recaptures. The area estimated by the minimum polygon method is probably less than the actual size of the home range area. It is likely that the actual home range, if it could be accurately determined, would have an area between that estimated by the recapture radius method as a maximum and that estimated by the minimum polygon method as a minimum. Furthennore, our data indicates that some lizards have larger or smaller home ranges than do others. This is perhaps an indication of the variations occurring in the terrain of the habitat, availability of food, or other factors such as individual variations in behavior. Turner, Jennrich, and Weintraub (1969) also concluded that the home range is intennediate between the minimum polygon as indicated by Tinkle, McGregor, and Dana (1962) and the recapture radius inethcxl as in- dicated by Jorgensen and Tanner (1963). F'ur- thermore, there is variation in the size and shape of home ranges. This variance is seemingly the.
