CROCODIIJAXS, LIZARDS, AND SNAKKS. 



1073 



Dr. Bo'ijamaii Shiuj) ' observed the pioce-ss of exuviatiou in the garter snako. 

 Two specimens were kept iu an aquaiinui. Wlieii observed one had Just crawled 

 out of the water aud then shrugged and shook itself. Finding a narrow place, 

 it pressed itself in so that the skin parted along the jaws. This was jjushed l>ack 

 behind the head. Then the snake crawled throiigh the oi)euiug, escaping fiom 

 tlie skin and leaving it tnrne<l inside out. The operation required less than a min- 

 ute. One of the skins was without rent or loss of a scale. This occurred on April 

 13. Some specimens that I kept for a while shed the skin about .June 1. In case the 

 snake can not have access to water the shedding of the skin is a more prolonged 

 operation.
