L. hafcheri, as far as size is concerned, seems to hold an intermediate 

 position between L. lineomacitlatiis and L. kingii, being larger than the 

 former, but smaller than the latter. The type, which is an adult male, 

 with a reproduced tail, shows the following :

In this case, even more than in that of the other species, it is highly to 

 be regretted that not even a single specimen has a locality label attached 

 to it. The fact that the specimens of L. hafcheri were found in the jars 

 with L. khigii and L. lineoniaadahis, which we have good reasons for be- 

 lieving were collected north of the Rio Santa Cruz, makes it probable that 

 the new species also comes from the same part of Patagonia.

 Forty-five specimens of this species indicate that Hatcher was correct 

 in stating that it is common. It is probable, however, that it does not 

 extend much beyond the Santa Cruz River, if at all. As mentioned above, 

 Hatcher's reference to it as "common among basaltic rocks " probably 

 relates more particularly to the basaltic platform north of the Rio Chico, 

 where he collected in March, 1898. 



There is a number of quite young specimens in the lot. They agree 

 very well in character with the adults. In the same jar (No. 5) there was 

 also a number of young L. lineoniaculatus. Even the youngest of these
