developed and prominent. The rostral plate is very broad. The 

 lower jaw has no median symphyseal plate, the first infralabials of 

 the two sides meeting on the median line. 



No data were secured which would give any information regarding 

 the breeding habits of the species in the swamp. 



On December 22. 1914, Dr. Bradley found a small, shriveled 

 specimen of Anolis carolinensis in a pitcher plant. From a botanical 

 standpoint, it would be interesting to know whether this plant is 

 able to capture forms as large as this lizard. 



Incidently it may be noted that this was the only lizard seen by 

 Dr. Bradley on this trip, and it would appear that the lizards are 

 not commonly out at this season of the year. 



11. Sceloporus undulatus Latrielle. Figs. 1, 2. 



Aljundant throughout the higher and drier portion of the Okefinokee 

 and called by the natives "scaly hzard." Most common on the 

 sandy pine lands, where they seem to prefer the fallen timber, logs 

 a.nd stumps, and always to be found around fences and piles of cut 

 wood. Very active and, like many of the other lizards, difficult to 

 secure without the loss of some portion of the tail. 



The specimens taken proved to be fairly uniform in size, the 

 largest measuring 155 mm. in total length and the smallest 122 mm. 

 In the comparative measurements the figures show a pronounced 

 agreement. The length to vent is slightly less than one-half the 

 total length; the length of the fore leg almost exactly equal to the 

 distance from the anterior end of the head to the axilla; the hind 

 foot about one-half the length of the hind leg, and the width of the 

 head about equal to the length of the fore foot. 



The colors are somewhat variable. The dorsal surface is usually 

 grayish-black, sometimes a brilliant black. The undulating cross- 

 bands are often very faint or obsolete; when distinct they are gen- 

 erally 10 or 11 in number with the white markings prominent. The 

 ventral surface of the body is yellowish-white with numerous dark 

 spots in more or less regular rows. Down the median ventral line 

 these spots run together to form a longitudinal stripe, which in all of 

 the specimens from the swamp is quite prominent. Superimposed 

 on the spotted gray-white body color may be found patches of black 

 or blue, the latter usually on the throat and sides of the belly. Occa- 

 sionally the throat shows on each side a brilliant light l^lue. In a 

 few specimens the ventral surface of the head and belly appears 

 brilliant black. The breast and pelvic region is almost invariably 

 sordid yellow-white with the characteristic dark spots.
