State Agricultural College; and to his cousin, Mr. W. H. 
Burt, formerly of the Kansas University Museum, who 
kindly assisted in a similar way while the writer was 
studying the lizards preserved there. 
The writer feels very grateful to Dr. Robert K. Na- 
bours of the Kansas State Agricultural College for his 
continual encouragement and co-operation during the 
time occupied by this study, and also for furnishing 
facilities in making exchanges. 
A large number of persons have contributed specimens 
of lizards to Kansas museums, but the list is too large 
and incomplete to be reproduced here. There are a num- 
ber of persons who have been very kind in sending the 
writer both specimens and data, and to these he is ex- 
tremely grateful. Among these, aside from those who 
have already been mentioned, are F. F. Crevecoeur, H. J. 
Harnly, Ivan R. Burket, A. J. Cheatum, L. M. Clausen, 
Frank W. Jobes, H. H. Schwardt, Harry G. Walker, 
Stephen T. Egan, A. P. Williams, T. E. White, Leonard 
Montgomery, Gerald G. Grout, W. J. Robinson, Robert 
Kingman, William R. Thompson, ‘Kathlene Margaret 
Thompson, Verl Fink, Paul White, A. R. Miller, and
