Note. — De Kay in Nat. Hist. State of N. Y., 1S42, pt. iii, 55, gives C. durissus, 

 Linn., as a synonym, marked with an interrogation point. 



nAB. — Central and Souoran Regions, entering Texan District of the Austro- 

 riparian. 



This species is upon the western plains and mountains the most numer- 

 ous of the Crotalidm. It exhibits in a marked degree the mimicry of color- 

 ation so often seen in reptiles, varying from deep-brown to bright-gray. 

 Specimen P 3 is a variety with the muzzle scutella much like C. scidulatus, 

 Kenn.; No. 2 resembles it also, but in a less marked degree.
