las and Waco. Very rare west of the Brazos valley in 

 the east-central section. The largest male Red-heads 

 that I have ever seen from any locality were sent me 

 from Lindale by Mr. H. E. Fowler. 



64. EuMECES GUTTULATUS HalloueU. White-spotted SMnk. 



Western Texas from the Panhandle south to the 

 ^Mexican boundary. Most abundant in the mountain- 

 ous region south of the Pecos River. 



65. EuMECES OBSOLETUS Baird and Girard. Sonoran SMnk. 



This handsome sMnk ranges over fully two- 

 thirds of the area of the State, but on account of its 

 secretive habits is but little known in localities where 

 it is common. It is a rather common animal in the 

 canyons and breaks of the Panhandle, the southern 

 plains and trans-Pecos counties. ^Eastward, it is 

 found as far as McLennan County, and in the Rio 

 Grande valley almost to the mouth of the river. Brown 

 records a specimen from Seymour, Baylor County. 



66. EUMECES LEPTOGRAMMUS Baird. Havden's Skrnk. 



Northern boundary between Texas and New 

 Mexico, a single example collected by J. H. Clark. 

 (National Museum collection.) This specimen was 

 the type of Cope's Eumeces epipleurotus. The range 

 of this species is usually given as "the Central Region 

 — Nebraska to Northern Texas," but to judge from 

 the above single record, it must be exceedingly rare 

 in the southern portion of this territory. 



67. EUMECES MULTiviEGATUS HaUotveU. I>*Iany-lined SMnk. 



The tj-pe of Baird's Plestiodon inornatus, which 

 is said to be the same as the present species, was col- 

 lected on the Rio Pecos by Captain John Pope. The 

 locality is rather indefinite, but the species evidently 

 does enter Texas in tne region south of Clark's bound- 

 ary, for I have a specimen from New Mexico only a 

 short distance from the Texas line.
