'"'I'ggo"''] PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. 155 



Til is s[tecimen is said to have been collected "in the upper part" of 

 Lower California. Another specimen is in the U. S. National Museum 

 (12639), and was collected by Mr. L. Belding at La Paz, near the 

 southern extremity of the peninsula. 



This specimen agrees with the type in all essential points. The scu- 

 tellatio7i is identical with the right side of the type (one subloreal only) 

 except that there are three anterior temporals, lower largest; gas- 

 terosteges 172; urosteges 27 pairs. The dimensions ^re: total length, 

 300™"' ; tail from anus, 28""" ; proportion of tail to total length = 1 : 10.7. 

 The coloration is also quite similar, the number of dorsal blotches being 

 twenty-nine.
