It is evident that T. sirtalis concinmis is not confined to 

 the extreme northwest, but, on the contrary, occupies a strip 

 close to the coast south nearly or quite to San Francisco Bay. 

 In the extreme north T. sirtalis concinnus ranges east far 

 from the coast, for the specimens from northern Idaho are 

 of this dark race and it is very possibly may be that Cope's 

 type of trilineata from Fort Benton, Montana, also belongs 

 here. A little farther south, however, concinnus does not 

 range far from the ocean, as is shown by the specimens from 

 Klamath County, Oregon, and Modoc County, California, 

 which represent the race T. sirtalis injernalis.

 these characters are sufficiently constant to serve for the
