REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS OF TEXAS 21 



Jacinto Counties. Mr. H. E. Fowler sent me several 

 from Lindale, Smith County, and the National Mu- 

 seum has it from Anderson County. 



47. SCELOPOKUS CONSOBRINUS Baird and Girard. Marcy's 



Lizard. 



With the exception of the eastern timber belt, this 

 lizard is found all over Texas. Among extreme lo- 

 calities from which specimens have been reported 

 are the following: Gainesville, Cooke County (Na- 

 tional Museum collection) ; Bosque Hills, McLennan 

 County (Strecker); Refugio, Refugio County 

 (Strecker) ; Santa Rosa, Cameron County (Bailey) ; 

 Paladuro Canyon, Armstrong County (Strecker) ; 

 Yoakum County (Baylor University collection), and 

 El Paso (Baylor collection). In many counties this 

 species is distributed very locally. Specimens from 

 Bexar and Comal Counties display very bright col- 

 ors, while those found in the Panhandle and on the 

 plains are dull colored. El Paso specimens usually 

 have a gray-green ground color on the dorsal sur- 

 faces and the stripes are very distinct. In different 

 localities, the light lines vary from pure white to 

 buff, deep yellow and green. 



48. ScELOPORUS MERRIAMI Stejneger. Merriam's Lizard. 



This species is known from only a few localities in 

 Western Texas, from the Pecos River Canyon, 55 

 miles northwest of Comstock, Val Verde County, 

 south to the mouth of the Pecos River and west along 

 the Rio Grande River to Boquillas, near the Big 

 Bend, 



49. SCELOPORUS DISPAK Baird and Girard. 



Slender Scaly Lizard. 

 In "The Biological Survey of Texas," Bailey re- 

 cords five specimens collected by William Lloyd at 

 Lomita Ranch, six miles north of Hidalgo, Hidalgo 

 County. Cope placed Sceloporus dispar in the syn- 

 onymy of Wiegmann's Sceloporus microlepidotus, but 

 it is probably distinct.
