jjg CONCLUSION. 



Coluber jlavigaster, Say, Long's Exped. to Rocky Mount., vol. i. p. 185. 



Characters. Above olivaceous; beneath yellow; lower jaw beneath white; scales 

 destitute of a carina. Total length, three feet eleven inches; tail, eleven inches; 

 abdominal plates, one hundred and seventy-six; caudal scales, eighty-four. 

 Inhabits Missouri. 



Conclusion. I have now described and figured all the reptiles, with one or two 

 exceptions, that I am at this moment willing to admit into our Herpetology, as 

 existing within the limits prescribed for this work. That a great many more will 

 be found when the vast country west of the Mississippi shall be explored, there 

 cannot be the least doubt, but their description must be left to other and abler 

 hands. 



THE END.
