The Lizards of Kansas 57 
small; all scale rows on body longitudinal; legs rather 
poorly developed. 
Back with seven or more brownish, almost obsolete 
stripes; vertebral stripe widest; dark bands bordering 
pale stripes; some of the light stripes very narrow, and 
others wider, more prominent; dorsal ground color dis- 
tinct grayish brown to olivaceous; abdomen grayish; 
under parts of extremities, head and tail, all lighter; 
tan to whitish; differential coloration evident in dorsal 
scales of larger specimens. 
A many-lined skink from Greeley, Colorado, has been 
measured. It has a partly regenerated tail, so only an 
incomplete set of data can be given from it. The body 
is 55 mm. in length, and the head width is 7 mm. The 
width of head expressed as percentage of body length is 
12.7. Pratt (1923) listed the tail as ‘‘Three-halves length 
of body,’’ a measurement that gives a tail percentage of 
60.0. : 
Discussion of Kansas Reports—The writer has never 
seen a Kansas lizard of this species, so takes this op- 
portunity to present the records upon which he has ad- 
mitted it to the state faunal list. In a letter dated Sep- 
tember 9, 1926, Dr. L. Stejneger wrote that ‘‘In 1915 
and 1916 Mr. V. H. Housholder sent me some Kansas 
skinks for identification. One from Labette County, I 
identified as E. epipleurotus, which I now consider as 
identical with E. multivirgatus. Another from Ander- 
son County I identified as E. leptogrammus. This I also 
consider a synonym of E. multivirgatus.’’ Although the 
writer has been unable to find these specimens in the 
present collection of the Kansas University Museum, he 
feels little hesitancy in listing E. multiwirgatus as a Kan- 
8as species with the above identifications as the basis. 
The work of Cope (1900, p. 655) listed a specimen of
