ORDER II. SAUKIA THE LIZARDS. 



ELGARIA PRINCIPIS. (Baird and Grirard.) 

 Spotted Elgaria. 



I obtained specimens of this lizard at Walla-walla 

 and on the banks of the Chelukweyuk river. I found 

 it in both cases under stones, in turning them over to 

 hunt for beetles. Dr. Suckley records it as being found 

 west of the Cascade range, but I never met with it ; I 

 should not say that it was by any means an abundant 

 species. 



PHRYNOSOMA CORNUTUM. (Gray.) 



This species is much larger than Tapaya Douglassii, 

 and has a much more extensive geographic range. The 

 specimens I brought home were obtained on the open 

 sandy plains laying north of the Klamath lakes these 

 plains appear to be its limit north, beyond this Tapaya 

 Douglassii replaces it and also on the sunny hill sides 

 at Colville. Whether it is to be found along the coast 

 range, or west of the Cascade mountains, I am not sure ; 

 at any rate I never saw it there. Its colour very nearly 

 approximates the basaltic piles, in the cracks of which 

 it lives. 



TAPAYA DOUGLASSII. (Grirard.) 

 The Oregon Horned Toad. 



I never saw this singular looking lizard on the west 

 slope of the Cascades, but they abound on the sand
