HAB. Sonoran ami Central Eegions, Oregon, and Texas. 



Exceedingly abundant throughout regions visited. 



In addition to the specimens noted in the list, Professor Cope informs 

 me of a variety found in our collection much like the typical form in 

 squamation, but quite distinct in colors. The. sides are very dark, and the 

 dorsal region is yellowish in a broad band from the nape of the neck to the 

 rump. Professor Cope, in his 'report upon the reptiles collected by the 

 United States Geological Survey of Territories in Montana, page 46, gives 

 four distinct varieties of S. consobrimts, to which list this new variety 

 should be added.
