Distribution. — Carmen and Coronado islands, Gulf of 

 California, Mexico. 



Remarks.- — The Crested Lizard of Carmen Island is 

 very similar to that of the Cape Region of Lower California, 

 with which it agrees in the number of granules between the 



i and rostral plates, although the northern form occupies 

 the intervening territory. Its femoral pores average more 

 numerous than in D. d. lucasensis, agreeing in this respect 

 with D. d. dorsalis.
