collected by Grayson. Townsend secured nine specimens 

 which are now in the National Museum. The California 

 Academy of Sciences has seventeen, taken by its expedition 

 to the Revilla Gigedo Islands in 1903. 



Clarion Island. 



Although smaller than Socorro and farther from the main- 

 land, Clarion Island is better supplied with reptiles than its 

 larger neighbor, since it possesses a snake as well as a Uta, 

 while Socorro has only a Uta.

This lizard was first collected by Mr. C. H. Townsend 

 who described it from five specimens. Mr. A. W. Anthony 

 also secured it, in 1897, and sent specimens to the National 

 Museum. The Academy has three taken by Mr. Beck.

Dr. Stejneger described this snake from thirteen specimens 

 sent to the National Museum by Mr. Anthony. The Acad- 

 emy has eight examples of the species. The scale-rows are

 from one hundred and eighty-seven to one hundred and 

 ninety-six and the urosteges from ninety-three to one hundred
