rupted, forming a dorsal series of black spots, with corre- 

 sponding vertical bars upon the sides. The black markings 

 on the neck are reduced to six longitudinal series of more or 

 less obsolete spots. The posterior limbs are faintly reticu- 

 lated with black, and illuminated with numerous white spots 

 above and posteriorly. The inferior surfaces of the limbs 

 are deep flesh color, with a slightly purplish tinge. This 

 color appears, also, on the gular region, about the ears, 

 and on the lower surface of the tail. There is no black on 

 the lower surface of the tail. There are no large or distinct 

 markings on the gular region in the specimens from Santa 

 Margarita Island, Comondu, and Danzante Island. Those 

 from Magdalena and Carmen islands have black gular mark- 

 ings. The sides of the head and temporal regions are but 

 little marked with black. The ventral surface of the body 

 is bluish gray, more or less marked with black along the 

 edges of the plates. Younger individuals show four or six 

 longitudinal light dorsal lines with short irregular trans- 

 verse black spots between them. The reddish coloring ulti- 

 mately fades in alcohol to grayish yellow.

Remarks. — This lizard was originally described from 

 seven specimens from Santa Margarita Island, Lower Cali- 

 fornia. I have seen specimens from Magdalena Island and 

 from Comondu in the central portion of the peninsula of 

 Lower California. Specimens from Santa Rosalia and Mu- 

 lege, in the same region, recorded by Mocquard as Cnemido- 



^Santa Margarita. ^Comondu. 'Danzante. *Carmen.
