black spots. One shows traces of longitudinal dorsal bands 

 near the tail. 



Santa Catalina Island. 



One salamander, tw,o lizards, and a rattlesnake have been 

 taken on Santa Catalina. 



1. Batrachoseps attenuatus {Eschscholts). 



A single specimen collected at Avalon, Santa Catalina 

 Island, by Mr. A. M. Drake (Cal. Acad. Sci. No. 3726) 

 seems indistinguishable from the mainland species. It has 

 nineteen costal grooves, slender limbs, and narrow head. 

 The coloration is uniform slaty brown above, paler below. 

 Three specimens secured on this island by Mr. Fuchs differ 

 from this one only in the slightly paler coloration. 



2. Uta stansburiana Baird & Girard. 



Uta stansburiana Cope, Report, U. S. Nat. Mus. 1898 (1900), p. 311. 



This lizard has been recorded from Santa Catalina by 

 Professor Cope. Two specimens collected at Avalon by 

 Mr. J. I. Carlson are in the collection of the Academy (Nos. 

 4754 and 4755). They seem to be fairly typical U. stans- 

 buriana with moderately imbricate dorsals. The femoral 

 pores are thirteen or fourteen. 



« 3. Xantusia riversiana Cope. 



Xantusia riversiana Rivers, Am. Nat. v. 23, 1889, p. iioo; Van Denburgh, 

 Proc. Cal. Acad. Sci. 2d ser. v. 5, 1895, p. 534; Van Denburgh, 

 Occas. Papers, Cal. Acad. Sci. 5, 1897, P- 132- 



I have seen no specimens of this lizard from Santa 

 Catalina, but Mr. J. J. Rivers states that he has received 

 several from this island. 



4. Crotalus oregonus Holbrook. 



Crotalus lucifer Yarrow, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus. no. 24, 1882, p. 76; 

 Stejneger, Report, U. S. Nat. Mus. 1893 (1895), p. 447. 



Yarrow records a rattlesnake as having been taken by 

 Mr. P. Schumacher on Santa Catalina Island in 1876.
