LACERTILIA— IGUANIDAE— PHRYNOSOMA PLATYRH1NUM. 577 



Genus PHRYNOSOMA, Wiegmann. 



The collection of Horned Lizards, vulgarly known as "Horned Toads", 

 is very numerous, embracing nearly every species as yet chronicled from 

 the regions visited. Of the Phrynosoma, according to Prof. Charles Girard, 

 we may assume that six distinct species exist, for the diagnostic characters 

 of which vide Stansbury's Report of Expedition to the Great Salt Lake, page 

 359 ; but Professor Cope, in his new check-list, has proposed certain modi- 

 fications of Girard's diagnoses, and the following list shows the number of 

 species he at present admits ; 



Phrynosoma moclestum, Girard. 



Phrynosoma platyrhinum, Girard. 



Phrynosoma maccallii, Hallow. 



Phrynosoma regale, GlRARD. 



Phrynosoma plan iceps, IJ allow. 



Phrynosoma cornutum, Harlan. 



Phrynosoma hcrnandczii, Girard. 



Phrynosoma douglasii, Bell, subspecies ornatissimum, Girard.
