Deducting the Arkansas species found in eastern 
Texas (71) leaves 106 species. After carefully reviewing 
the work of recent collectors in eastern and northeastern 
Texas, we feel safe in saying that the greater per cent 
of future additions to the Arkansas list may be expected 
to come from the Austroriparian fauna of Louisiana and 
the Ozarkian fauna of southwestern Missouri rather 
than from the central of western Oklahoma and the 
Sonoran of Texas. Such forms as Cnemidophorus 
gularis, Sceloporus consobrinus and Thamnophis eques 
are merely outrunners from the Sonoran, whose rela- 
tionships are not yet fully understood. Probably few 
true Sonoran species range east of the 98th meridian of 
longitude in Texas.

1. DiemMyctyLus viRIDESCENS Rafinesque. Newt or Red 
Eft. 
Southern Missouri, eastern Oklahoma, northern Lou- 
isiana, and northeastern Texas. No definite localities 
for Arkansas, but it probably inhabits the entire State. 
Family DresMoGNATHIDAE. 
2. DESMOGNATHUS BRIMLEYORUM Stejn. Brimley’s Sala- 
mander. 
This species is abundant in the type locality, Hot 
Springs (Combs and Hurter) and at Little Rock (Hur- 
ter). At Little Rock Hurter placed examples of this 
species and Spelerpes multiplicatus Cope in the same 
bucket just as he captured them. On returning to his 
room, he discovered that the Spelerpes had all been de- 
voured by the hungry Desmognathus.
