Six specimens of Cnemidophorus maximus were collected by the 

 Albatross Expedition, two at Miraflores (A. M. N. H. Nos. 5542, 5570), 

 and four in the San Bernardo Mts. (5549, 5551, 5656, U. S. N. M. No. 

 64461). 



Two specimens in the Biological Survey collection come from Cape 

 San Lucas (U. S. N. M. No. 37688) and Espiritu Santo Island (37691). 



It is possible that the C. grahami and C. sexlineatus recorded by 

 Mocquard (1899, p. 315) from Santa Rosalia and Mulege belong here.

Cnemidophorus disparilis Dickerson 



Cnemidophorus disparilis Dickerson, 1919, p. 473. ' 

 Range. — Tiburon Island, Gulf of California. 



This species was based on three specimens in the Albatross collection, 

 one (the type) from Tiburon Island, and two juvenile specimens with no 

 further data than "Lower California." The association of these two 

 specimens with the type appears to be unjustifiable, as comparison of one 

 of them with the types of C. catalinensis Van Denburgh and Slevin 

 proves them to be indistinguishable (Van Denburgh, in correspondence).
