This lizard, so characteristic of the pine-woods of New Jer- 
sey, was found commonly during Mr. Rehn’s excursions, and 
more or less regularly distributed. They were quite abundant. 
at Quaker Bridge. Mr. Rehn also reports several from near 
Clementon taken by Messrs. C. T. and G. M. Greene several 
years ago. Mr. Hartman of Palermo, Cape May County, reports 
that it is abundant in that locality. I have seen it near Medford. 
Dr. Abbott tells me that it was formerly found about Trenton, 
but has not been seen there for years, and is apparently rare.
