Uta stansburiana Baird & Girard. Stansbury’s Small-scaled 
Swift. 
Reported at San Ildefonso by Yarrow and Cope. 
y 
Uta levis Stejneger. Olive Small-scaled Swift. 
Type locality is Tierra Amarilla. This appears to be Yarrow’s 
record * under the name Uta ornata Baird & Girard. Our Indian 
informants say that snakes swallow these lizards. They are harmless. 
eee wer = 
Sceloporus undulatus consobrinus (Baird & Girard). Yellow- 
banded Spiny-scaled Swift. 
Yarrow reported this species from Santa Fe and described Scelo- 
porus tristichus from Taos, the description being written by Cope 
apparently. Afterward Yarrow reported tristichus from Taos and 
consobrinus from both Taos and Santa Fe. Cope later repeated Yar- 
row’s records for both localities, but made both of them subspecies 
of undulatus’ Ditmars® ignores tristichus. Small lizards of this 
group are very abundant at El Rito de los Frijoles, darting in and 
out among the rocks and logs everywhere in the canyon. The only 
specimens we collected are assigned to consobrinus. 
Kowohry. 
Phrynosoma douglass hernandesi (Girard). Western Horned 
Lizard. 
Reported at Taos, Santa Fe, Abiquiu, and San Ildefonso by Yarrow 
and Cope.’?. We collected two specimens of horned lizard at El Rito 
de los Frijoles, and both are hernandest.. Our Indian informants 
declared that snakes swallow these lizards, swell up, burst, and the 
lizard comes out alive. This is not more fantastic than some of the 
popular notions of white people concerning animals. The name 
‘horned toad,” usually applied to this animal, should be dropped 
even from popular literature, as it belongs distinctly to the Reptilia 
and not to the Amphibia.

Lizard.
