AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES. 69 
or less confluent to form more or less short vertical streaks, 
mostly convex forwards. Along sides of trunk and neck, upper 
series of spots longitudinally is distinctly made up of larger ones. 
Median line of tail below, belly, lower surfaces of limbs, throat, 
chin, snout and top of head above, immaculate. Upper surfaces 
of limbs covered with many small black spots. Iris slaty, pupil 
pale. Length 434 inches. This example secured in 1894, by 
F,. D. Cope, at Atlantic City. 
Also 2 smaller examples from White Pond in Warren County 
from Samuel N. Rhoads. This species is not so plentiful as the 
preceding. It is said not to be very active in its habits, occurring 
mostly in rocky ground, in fissures, and caves in cliffs. It is a 
species, perhaps more than any of our others to be associated 
with such places.
