?- 



Uta levis Stejneger. Olive Small-scaled Swift. 

 Type locality is Tierra Amarilla.^ This appears to be Yarrow's 

 record ^ under the name Uta ornata Baird & Girard. Our Indian 

 informants say that snakes swallow these lizards. They are harmless. 



Scelopoms undulatus consohrinus (Bau'd & Girard). Yellow- 

 banded Spiny-scaled Swift. 

 Yarrow reported this species from Santa Fe and described Scelo- 

 poms tristichus from Taos, the description being written by Cope 

 apparently. Afterward Yarrow reported tristichus from Taos and 

 consohrinus from both Taos and Santa Fe. Cope later repeated Yar- 

 row's records for both localities, but made both of them subspecies 

 of undulatus.^ Ditmars ^ ignores tristichus. Small lizards of this 

 group are very abundant at El Rito de los Frijoles, darting in and 

 out among the rocks and logs everywhere m the canyon. The only 

 specimens we collected are assigned to consohrinus.

Phrynosoma douglassii Tiernandesi (Girard). Western Horned 

 Lizard. 

 Reported at Taos, Santa Fe, Abiquiu, and San lldefonso by Yarrow 

 and Cope.^ We collected two specimens of horned lizard at El Rito 

 de los Frijoles, and both are hernandesi. Our Indian informants 

 declared that snakes swallow these lizards, swell up, burst, and the 

 lizard comes out alive. This is not more fantastic than some of the 

 popular notions of white people concerning animals. The name 

 ''horned toad," usually applied to this animal, should be dropped 

 even from popular literature, as it belongs distinctly to the Reptilia 

 and not to the Amphibia. 



Kouohiy. 



Phrynosoma douglassii ornatissimum (Girard). Ornate Horned 

 Lizard.
