against which their dark bodies formed a violent contrast. As a 

 matter of fact, when alive or recently killed, they were of a uniform 

 "dead" sooty black, without the slightest trace of the white collar 

 stripes. When picking- up these black lizards w ith the exceedingly 

 rough and prickly scale covering I did not doubt that I had before me 

 an undescribed species, remembering well that S. jarrovl! was origi- 

 nally characterized as having a very smooth pholidosis. Great was 

 my amazement, however, on retuj'ning to my quarters and unpacking 

 my booty to tind that these dull black animals had changed in the bag 

 to a very gorgeous blue with a broad black collar most distinctl}' set 

 off b}^ white margins. 1 sup]iose the l^lackness was due to the cool 

 temperature and that the brilliant colors are chiefly in evidence during 

 warm weather.

 was also collected there hy Mr. Price.'
