gular shields. There are five light longitudinal stripes on the back and sides, 
The central one bifurecates on the head, and the resultants meet the laterodorsal 
bands at the anterior margin of the eye.

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. 8S. 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).
