Notes . 



Alligator mississippiensis Daudin. 



The alligator is still tolerably common in some portions of Refugio 

 County, notably on the Mission River several miles below the town of 

 Refugio and in some of the small lakes. T have the skull of a twelve-foot 

 specimen shot on Sous Creek. 



Holbrookia propinqua B. and G. 



There is a single specimen in the Baylor Museum, collected on a small 

 rocky cliff on the Arroyo Blanco, about six miles from the mission, by 

 James J. Carroll. 



Sceloporus consobrinus B. and G. 



I found this lively little fence lizard quite common on Mr. Barber's 

 place, about five miles from the mission, but did not see it anywhere else. 

 Most of my specimens were captured on rail-fences and around old logs in 

 the woods. Mr. Barber's wood-pile yielded me an adult pair. These 

 specimens were all very dull colored. 



Opheosaurus ventralis L. 



Mr. Mitchell informs me that both the lineated (western) and check- 

 ered (eastern) forms of the glass snake occur at Victoria. 



Cnemidophorus gularis B. and G. 



All of the lined swifts I collected in Refugio County are very typical 

 gularis, although I had expected to find sexlineatus the prevailing form. 

 Femoral pores, 16 to 19. 



Eumeces quinquelineatus L. 



I was surprised to learu from Mr. Mitchell that this lizard was common 

 in Victoria County. I saw but one specimen in Refugio. It was of the 

 "fasciatus" (young) type of coloration. 



Eumeces tetragrammus Baird. 



One typical specimen from near Refugio. 



Eutaenia sirtalis L. 



On the list furnished me by Mr. Mitchell, this snake is called Eutaenia 

 sirtalis sirtalis L. on the authority of Dr. Stejneger. Some of the speci- 

 mens submitted to me by Mr. Mitchell were fairly typical sirtalis, but two 

 half grown examples were very near the variety parietalis Say. I obtained 

 a large series of Eutaenias in Refugio County, hut did not succeed in col- 

 lecting any specimens of this variety. 



Tropidonotus clarkii B. and (i. 



A mutilated specimen of a longitudinally banded Tropidonotus found 

 near Copano Bay is referred to this species.
