degrees in the vomerine dentition, from extremely obtuse to quite 

 acute, and from widely separated to fairly close together. The color 

 varies from rather light or clear and with small, well-defined, widely 

 scattered spots to almost unicolor, in which spots have run together 

 somewhat, to very thickly well-defined, prominent large spots cover- 

 ing the whole upper surface. A larva from Roan Mountain, Tennes- 

 see, of uncertain determination, differs in the presence of a narrow 

 dark vertebral line. The example from Henderson County, North 

 Carolina, has a long tail and lacks the black spot on the head. The 

 specimen from Auburn, Alabama, in common with the type of 

 P. flavissimus, and the Henderson County specimen, all have the 

 series of teeth very closely approximated in the median line. Further, 

 they have very small scattered spots. The Alabama specimen has 

 the back covered by a dark ground-color, not caused by spots running 

 together. In this it thus differs from the dark color of the usual old 

 of ruber where the spots are very numerous and crowded together. 

 No specimen w^hich could be classed as S. montanus or S. schencki 

 are in the collection. From the descriptions schencki appears a 

 rather local race of ruber. S. montanus appears to be a different 

 matter. Our only approach to the dentition described for montanus 

 is found in the tj^pe of P. flavissimus and the two other specimens 

 last mentioned. No approach to the color of montanus has been 

 seen in our material. In this connection the junior author has 

 examined the types of montanus and schencki in Washington.
