A LIST OF SOME REPTILES FROM SOUTHEASTERN 

 ARIZONA, WITH A DESCRIPTION OF A NEW 

 SPECIES OF CNEMIDOPHORUS. 



BY JOHN VAN DENBURGH, 



Curator of the Department of Herpetology. 



[With Plates xlix and 1.] 



The collection recorded in the present paper was made 

 by Mr. W. W. Price during the summer of 1893 and the 

 spring and summer of 1894. Although the collector de- 

 voted most of his time and attention to birds and mam- 

 mals, more than seven hundred specimens of reptiles were 

 secured at localities in Cochise, Pima and Graham Coun- 

 ties. These are now the property of Leland Stanford Jr. 

 University, and the numbers used in the following pages, 

 unless otherwise stated, refer to the registers of that insti- 

 tution. 



An account of the locations and physical characteristics 

 of the stations at which Mr. Price collected may be found 

 in the Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural His- 

 tory, Vol. VII, 1895, pp. 194-199. 



Terrapene ornata (Agassiz). 



The only box-tortoise in the collection (No. 1234) was 

 found at Fort Lowell, June 10, 1893. It appears to be 

 typical of this species in every respect. The postorbital 

 arch is very slender, and the quadrato- jugal entirely ab- 

 sent. In color, it is a dull yellow with a few irregular 

 spots and streaks of reddish brown. 



Mr. Price informs me that it is called the Land Turtle 

 in Arizona, and that it is not rare. I believe that this 

 specimen furnishes the first record of its occurrence so 

 far west.
