REPTILES 



6 7 



rounded, separated by granules in the rows; in ten to twelve, usually 

 ten longitudinal series. Mental large, two to four times the size of 

 the first infralabial ; submentals two. 



This species is very close to P. galapagoensis, from which it differs 

 chiefly in the fewer and smaller dorsal tubercles, which are not juxta- 

 posed but separated by granules. The submentals are always two. 

 These differences hold good in a series of twenty-one specimens from 

 Charles, Hood and Gardner Islands. The specimens average lighter 

 colored than the Albemarle form. More material may show this 

 form to be only a subspecies of P. galapagoensis . 



This species occurs commonly at Black Beach, Charles Island. 

 Found beneath rocks near the coast. Much less common on Hood 

 and Gardner.
