gular shields. There are five light longitudinal stripes on the back and sides. 

 The central one bifurcates on the head, and the resultants meet the laterodorsal 

 bands at the anterior margin of the eye. 



LEIOLEPISMA LATERALE (Say). 



SAY, Long's exped. Rocky Mts., 1823, 2, p. 324.

Careful comparison of a specimen taken by Mr. Zappey at Washan, western 

 Szechwan, at 6,000 feet altitude, and another which the writer obtained, col- 

 lected by Mr. John Graham at Yiinnanfu at the same altitude, with North 

 American examples, has forced the same conclusion previously reached by 

 Boulenger and Stejneger as to the identity of specimens from both continents. 

 Among a number of examples in the collection of the M. C. Z. from Florida, 

 Texas, and Arkansas, individuals may be picked out which can not be separated 

 from the two Chinese examples mentioned. Thus L. reevesii (Gray) becomes a 

 synonym of L. laterale (Say). 



This most remarkable distribution embraces the southeastern United 

 States west to the Rockies, and including Mexico (Jalapa, example in British 

 Museum), as well as almost all of southern and central China and the Riu Kiu 

 Islands.

A specimen from Chungking, Szechwan, which I have compared with ex- 

 amples in the collection of the U. S. N. M. from other localities, does not differ 

 appreciably from specimens from Honan and Formosa, nor yet from Japanese 

 examples, so that it adds evidence in support of Stejneger (Proc. U. S. N. M. 

 1910, 38, p. 114).
