19. Eumeces leptogrammus. 
 Plestiodon leptogrammus, Baird, Proc. Ac. Philad. 1858, p. 256. 
Eumeces leptogrammus, Cope, Check-list N. Am. Rept. p. 45. 
epipleurotus, Cope, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus. no. 17, p. 40. 
A small postnasal ; anterior loreal in contact with the fronto- 
nasal, 24 rows of scales. Limbs nearly meeting when applied to 
the side. Above with five pale lines separated by black bands; the 
median light line not bifurcating. 
From snout to vent 70 millim. 
Judging from Cope’s notes, it appears to me highly probable that 
E. epipleurotus is the adult of Z. leptogrammus.
