136 LYGOSOMA LATERALIS. 



General Remarks. This animal was first described bv Sav, in Lonji's 

 expedition to the Rocky Mountains. 



Though dehghting in dark and shady forests, I have never yet observed the 

 Lygosoma laterahs to ascend trees, either in searcli of food, or in its attempts to 

 escape when pursued.
