Eana temporaria pretiosa B. & G. 



Sicamoos, B. C, and Field, B. C, in the Rocky Mountains — 

 numerous specimens. 



Sana virescens Kahn. 



A small specimen, having the general appearance of the sub- 

 species brachycephala Cope, but with the length of the head entering 

 the total less than three times. From the plains east of the Rocky 

 Mountains. 



Spea hammondii intermontana Cope. 



A single specimen from Vernon, B. C. The frontoparietal 

 fontanelle is closed, and the supraorbital borders are thickened, 

 so as to give the profile a distinct convexity. The discovery of 

 this species, so far north, greatly extends its range. 



REPTILIA. 



Pityophis sayi bellona B. & G. 



Vernon. 

 Eutaenia leptocephala B. & G. 



An interesting series of eight specimens was obtained by Mr. 

 Rhoads, five from Tacoma and three from Victoria, B. C. He did 

 not obtain it from any locality east of the latter point. In my paper 

 on the Characters and Variations of the Snakes of North America, 1 

 p. 660, 1 state that of the specimens in the National Museum, rather 

 less than half have two preocular plates, and one half have seven- 

 teen and the other half nineteen rows of scales. Of the eight speci- 

 mens brought by Mr. Rhoads, six have two, and two have three 

 preoculars ; one of the latter coming from Tacoma and one from 

 Victoria. Six have seventeen rows of scales, and two have nineteen, 

 both the latter from Tacoma. The distinctive characters of the 

 species are thus confirmed. The ground color in two of the Tacoma 

 specimens is black, and the others brown. All of the Victoria 

 specimens are brown, and two of them have a red dorsal stripe. 



Eutaenia sirtalis trilineata Cope, 1. sup. cit. 662-5. 



Four specimens, two from Tacoma, and one each from Hatzic 

 and Sicamoos, B. C. The last two specimens are typical E. s. 

 trilineata, but in the two from Tacoma the dorsal stripe marks only 

 a single row of scales, and the lateral is principally on one row, 

 and partly on another. It is not unlikely that the two subspecies
