las and Waco. Very rare west of the Brazos valley in 

 the east-central section. The largest male Red-heads 

 that I have ever seen from any locality were sent me 

 from Lindale by Mr. H. E. Fowler. 



64. EUMECES GUTTULATUS Halloivel. White-spotted Skink. 



Western Texas from the Tanhandle south to the 

 Mexican boundary. Most abmdant in the mountain- 

 ous region south of the Pecos River. 



65. EUMECES OBSOLETUS Baird and jirard. Sonoran Skink. 



This handsome skink raiges over fully two- 

 thirds of the area of the Stae, but on account of its 

 secretive habits is but little Inown in localities where 

 it is common. It is a rathe* common animal in the 

 canyons and breaks of the r*anhandle, the southern 

 plains and trans-Pecos ccmties. Eastward, it is 

 found as far as McLenna County, and in the Rio 

 Grande valley almost to th^mouth of the river. Brown 

 records a specimen from feymour, Baylor County.

The type of B?d's Plestiodon inornattts, which 

 is said to be the s^^e as the present species, was col-

 locality is rathe^^f^definite, but the species evidently 

 does enter Texa ^ ^^le region south of Clark's bound- 

 ary, for I have specimen from New Mexico only a 

 short distancef*om the Texas line.
