HERPETOLOGY OF LOWER CALIFORNIA. 83 



tions are all based upon alcoholic specimens. The colors 

 have been determined by reference to Ridgway's "Nom- 

 enclature of Colors." Measurements are given in milli- 

 meters, unless otherwise stated. Only references to a 

 species as it occurs in Lower California are included in 

 the synonymies, except that the original description is 

 cited in all cases. Whenever a citation has not been ver- 

 ified by actual reference to the original article, it has been 

 given in quotation marks. When the article contains 

 no original information about the species as it occurs in 

 Lower California, the citation has been put in paren- 

 thesis. Most of the localities mentioned may be found 

 on the map of Lower California, published in the second 

 volume of the second series of these Proceedings. 



I am indebted to Dr. Leonhard Stejneger for the re- 

 identification of many of the specimens listed by Dr. Yar- 

 row, and for the loan of specimens of Sceloporus conso- 

 brinus.

 shore.
