 tion of New Mexico Whiptail lizards, Cnemidophorus neomexicanus (Tei- 

 idae). SOUTHWESTERN NATURALIST 26(1): 72-74. 



The population exists in the vicinity of Conchas Lake, San Miguel 

 County, New Mexico. The habitat is described and morphological compari- 

 sons made with other populations of the species. It is concluded that 

 this population is the result of man-made introductions.

 Organ Mountains of New Mexico with notes on some ecological features of 

 the Chihuahuan Desert. HERPETOLOGICA 6(1): 1-10. 



A belt transect from the mountain crests to the valley floor was 

 censused (T22-23S and Rif-5E). The vegetation, soils and topography are 

 described. Cnemidophorus perplexus (probably = neomexicanus ), C. tes- 

 selatus and _C. tigris were collected and discussed.

 Mexican border. COPEIA 1951(4): 311-312. 



Cnemidophorus tigris at Afton and Kilbourne Hole, Dona Ana County, 

 New Mexico, confine themselves generally to the neutral colored islands 

 of sand and mesquite bush desert scattered through the lava fields. Li-

 tiles of the Jornada Experimental Range, New Mexico. COPEIA 1937(4): 

 216-222. 



A description of the range (vegetation, rainfall) and a brief sum- 

 mary of earlier herpetological surveys done in New Mexico are given. 

 Cnemidophorus perplexus (= inornatus ) and _C. tessellatus tessellatus 

 (= C. tigris marmoratus ) were collected and briefly discussed.

 nus OTemidoghorus) from the Colorado Plateau of Arizona, New Mexico, 

 Colorado, and Utah. BREVIORA 47: 1-7. 



The name Cnemidophorus velox is resurrected for this lizard. The 

 taxonomic history of this species and of others confused with it (i.e. 

 exsanguis , inornatus ) is discussed. A diagnosis is given. This species 

 typically occurs in woodland and coniferous forest. The type locality
