Canon, March 31, 1894. The name afifiroximans is used 

 because a majority of these specimens — although consid- 

 erable variation is shown — have broader snouts and wider 

 supralabial plates than are seen in true maculata. I have 

 not been able to see any difference between H. m. apfrrox- 

 imans and H. m. jlavilenta. 



Uta stansburiana Baird & Girard. 



This species is represented by seven specimens, all of 

 which were collected at Fort Lowell. They are well 

 within the known variations of this lizard. 



Uta ornata Baird & Girard. 



The name Uta ornata is used because the largest dor- 

 sal scales are larger and form more irregular series in 

 these specimens than in Uta symmetrica from Fort Yuma, 

 California. Usually the hind limb is not longer than the 

 distance from the posterior gular fold to the vent, but it 

 sometimes exceeds this distance. Most of the males have 

 throat -patches of blue, but some have patches of bright 

 olive -yellow. Others have a central throat- spot of blue 

 changing to green and then to yellow anteriorly and lat- 

 erally. 



One hundred and thirty specimens were secured in 

 Rucker Canon, in the Chiricahua Mountains, and near 

 Fort Lowell. 



Sceloporus clarkii Baird & Girard. 



This lizard must be very common at Fort Lowell, for 

 Mr. Price secured more than thirty specimens there and 

 in Rucker Canon in the Chiricahua Mountains. There 

 is no difficulty in distinguishing this form from S. magister, 

 which also was found at Fort Lowell, the characters pointed 

 out by Dr. Stejneger being quite sufficient, and the whole 

 coloration so different that each may be recognized at a 

 glance. S. clarkii never shows the broad dark brown
