ground. On several occasions they were observed eating ants 

 which they had captured crawling up the tree trunks. 



A specimen (C. A. S. No. 46536) was colored in life as 

 follows : Throat patch lemon ; belly indigo blue, lightly spotted 

 on sides with very light blue; back dark gray to brown with 

 transverse bars of black, divided along the dorsal line by rows 

 of small grayish scales. 



The femoral pores in fifty specimens vary from nine to four- 

 teen; being 9 eleven times, 10 thirty-nine times, 11 thirty- 

 seven times, 12 nine times, 13 three times, and 14 once. 



.28. Uta microscutata Van Denburgh 



This very small-scaled Uta evidently is abundant about San 

 Xavier, for Dr. Eisen collected fifty-three specimens of it there, 

 in June, 1899. (Nos. 3782-3784, 3786-3790, 3792, 3794-3801, 

 3803, 3805, 3806, 3808-3814, 3816-3821, 3823, 3825-3828, 

 3830-3839, 3841-3843, 3845-3847). 



29. Uta stansburiana elegans (Yarrow) 



Five specimens (Nos. 3793, 3802, 3804, 3807, 3822) were 

 collected by Dr. Eisen at San Xavier. 



This lizard, which generally is common in desert areas, was 

 not found so in the Cape Region, and strange to say, was taken 

 only at the sea-coast. None was seen in any of the interior 

 country. All the specimens taken were found in brushy areas 

 back of the beaches. It was collected at the following localities : 

 La Paz, Buena Vista, San Jose del Cabo, and Todos Santos. 



The femoral pores in seventy-two thighs of specimens from 

 the Cape Region vary from twelve to seventeen; being 12 four 

 times, 13 sixteen times, 14 twenty- four times, 15 twenty-one 

 times, 16 five times, and 17 twice. 



This lizard was found also at Ensenada, where Nos. 8541, 

 8555-8560, 8603-8616, and 8642-8644, were secured. 



32. Sceloporus occidentalis biseriatus (Hallowell) 



This lizard is abundant at Ensenada, where numerous speci- 

 mens were secured. (Nos. 8538, 8542, 8543, 8574, 8601, 

 8602, 8625, 8626).
