Caudal vertebra number 6 (A) and number 15 (B) of Anolis barkeri (both X 10), and number 6 (C) and 15 (D) of Anolis sminthus (both XI8). The remaining food items included arachnids, diplopods, isopods, and gastropods, none of which are considered to have been associated with the aquatic environment. They could all have fallen or been brought into the streams by rains or rising waters. A rapid rise in stream level was observed on several occasions on the Rio Quezalapam following heavy rains, increasing the depth of the stream one half to two meters and innundating much of the adjacent banks. If all food items listed as "undetermined" in Table 1 are ignored, the resulting total of 102 is found to be composed of 30 aquatics and 72 non-aquatics. The food of Anolis barkeri, therefore, is found to be composed of over 70% non-aquatic invertebrates, captured in an aquatic situation. It may be concluded that the lizards depend heavily upon the streams to bring a large portion of their prey to their feeding.
