 tance from water. Commonly escapes by long leaps into 

 bushes or grass. Specimens and localities are as follows :

Gastrophrync caroUncnsis (Holbrookj. — Two adults were 

 taken at Henry, one under a log in wet, open woods, and the 

 other under a loose board near a very small pond in an open 

 field. 



Rhoades reports one adult from Raleigh. 



Sceloporns undulatus (Latreille). — The black lizard was 

 found to be very common near Henry on rail fences, trees,- 

 fallen logs, and stumps, in fields or openings in woods. In 

 escaping a pursuer it was in no case seen to run on the ground. 

 Twenty-seven specimens were taken. Professor Ruthven took 

 three at Camden and one at Jackson. In the National Museum 

 there is one specimen from Big Sandy, one from Maxey, and 

 three from Memphis. Rhoades reports it from Samburg and 

 Raleigh. 



Cnemidophorus sexlineatus (Linnej. — These lizards are 

 called "sand scrapers" by the people near Henry. They are 

 exceedingly common in sandy situations and are always found 

 on the ground. They are very swift and escape by rushing 

 into grass or brush. Over night some at least remain in holes 

 dug in the sand, from which they may easily be taken early 

 in the morning. The burrow is short and has two openings.
