of that stream. I collected it in several localities in 

 Brewster and JefF Davis Counties and consider it a 

 much commoner animal than tessellatus, although 

 the Biological Survey party obtained more specimens 

 of that species. 



61. CNEMrooPHORUS GRAHAMll Baird and Girard. Gra- 

 ham's Tiger Lizard. 

 Western Texas from the Panhandle south through 

 the plains to the Mexican boundary. Our lim- 

 ited knowledge of the range of this rare species, 

 the handsomest of all Texas lizards, indicates that it 

 is very local in its distribution. It was originally 

 described in the early fifties from two specimens col- 

 lected "between El Paso and San Antonio" by one 

 of the Government expeditions. In 1880, Cope re- 

 cocrded two collected in Tule Canyon, Swisher Coun- 

 ty, in the southern Panhandle district. In 1903, Ar- 

 thur Erwin Brown mentioned a specimen in his list of 

 the reptiles of Pecos. In 1910, 1 found it not uncom- 

 mon in the canyons and breaks in Armstrong County 

 and collected a series of 23 specimens. Unlike the 

 young of tessellatus, which are striped, the young of 

 this species have the color pattern of the adult. In 

 many of its habits, grahamii reminds one of an 

 iguanian lizard.
