A NEW LIZARD FROM GUAYMAS, MEXICO 



BY THOMAS BARBOUR 



In the years from 1906 to 1908 the well-known zoological col- 

 lector, Mr. Wilmot W. Brown, made an extended journey in 

 Lower California, during which he preserved a fair representa- 

 tion of reptiles. These were sent in 1912 to Miss Dickerson of 

 the American Museum of Natural History, at her request, for 

 study, and they recently have been returned to the Museum 

 of Comparative Zoology. As it now seems improbable that Miss 

 Dickerson will publish a report upon the material, I have no 

 hesitation in describing this new species, which Mr. Brown took 

 en route to Lower California, and which I previously had noted 

 as represented by other material in our collection. 



Holbrookia thermophila sp. nov. 



Type, cf, no. 14,281, M. C. Z., from San Jos^ de Guaymas, Sonora, 

 Mexico, collected in the spring of 1908 by W. W. Brown, and presented to 

 the Museum of Comparative Zoology by John E. Thayer, Esq. 



Paratypes: ten adults from San Jos6 de Guaymas, collected by Brown 

 with the type, and two very large specimens, now somewhat faded, col- 

 lected at Guaymas by Captain E. P. Stone in 1859 (M. C. Z., no. 640).
