EUTiENIA SIRTALIS OBSCURA Cope. 



Eutamia nirtalls ohscnra Coi'E, Check-list N. Auier. Batr. Rept., 1875, j). 41. — Yar- 

 Kow, Reptiles U. S. CJeoj;-. Survey W. of 100th Mer., 1875, V, p. 546. 



A .specimen described by Baird and Girard nuder the bead of Unt(c- 

 nia sirtalifi, from Westport, ]S^e^Y Yorlc, is iiuiformly blackish between 



the longitudinal stripes, when 

 the epidermis is removed, and 

 brown when it is present, the 

 black spots being entirely 

 fused. The keels of the scales 

 are of a lighter brown. The 

 belly is grayish green, with 

 black spots near the ends of the 

 gastrosteges, extending from 

 the base, as in the typical i!/. s. 

 sirtalis. In this respect it dif- 

 fers from the E. s. trlvittata. 



In no other specimen have 

 the spots disappeared by 

 fusion, leaving the stripes intact, so perfectly as in this specimen. In 

 those individuals (Cat. No. 1019) from the Lac qui Parle, Minnesota, the 

 fusion is complete as to the superior row of spots, but the inferior may be 

 seen faintly outlined on stretching the skin, as in some of the dark forms 

 of E. s. jxirietalis. In a specimen in my private collection from Mitchells 

 Bay, Ontario (Dr. J. H. Garnier), the spots are nearly obliterated and can 

 not be defined anywhere, and the dorsal stripe is very obscure on the 

 posterior half the length ; belly normal.
