Kajimay (<Span. calliman). 
Alligator. ‘ 
One of these animals was exhibited in a pool-room at Santa Fe. 
SNAKES 
a 
Heterodon nasicus nasicus (Baird & Girard). Western -Hog- 
nosed Snake. 
Recorded at Santa Clara, San Hdefonso, and Abiquiu by Yarrow,' 
and at Santa Fe by Cope.’ 
Y 
Zamenis constrictor flaviventris (Say). Blue Racer, Green Racer. 
Recorded from Tierra Amarilla by Yarrow under the name Z. c. 
vetustum in his report, and under the name flaviventris in his Check- 
List. Cope records a young specimen which is probably the same.’ 
Several snakes were seen at El Rito de los Frijoles early in August, 
1910, which were probably this species, but they escaped and none 
was seen, afterward except a young specimen taken August 25, 
beautifully marked, very much like the bull snake, quite unlike the 
adult. A San Ildefonso Indian informant called this young specimen 
ni'ypenu. (See p. 51.) Having no adult specimens we could not 
learn whether they would recognize the young and adult as the same 
kind or designate them by the same name, though the latter is highly 
improbable. 
jp adhd Pies 
Pityophis catenifer say (Schlegel). Bull Snake. 
It is probably this species which was recorded as P, sayi mexicanus 
Dum. & Bib., by Yarrow, at San Ildefonso.t| A bull snake was 
described to us at El Rito de los Frijoles by Judge Abbott in 
August, 1910, but he did not capture it for identification. 
2 
Thamnophis eques (Reuss). Brown Garter Snake. 
Cope recorded Hutxenia eques aurata Cope from San Ildefonso, 
and E. sirtalis dorsalis Baird & Girard from the same place. Yarrow 
recorded Eutxnia ornata Baird at Abiquiu and San Ildefonso. These, 
it appears, should all be referred to 7’. eques, which is recorded from 
San Ildefonso by Ruthven.?
