6. A horned lizard {Phrynosoma orbiculare), from Mexico, 
contributed in June by Miss Stewart, added another to the 
long series of these lizards which have been shown in the 
collection. 
7. In April several specimens of Uta elegans, one of the 
small lizards of the Pacific coast, were received from Mr. F. 
R. Whiteside, having been collected near Los Angeles, Cal , 
and a subsequent collection from the same locality con- 
tained some Skilton's skinks (Eumeces sJciltonianus). 
8. On April 15th a tree boa {Xiphosoma canina) was re- 
ceived from the West Indies. 
9. In August a small collection of snakes was received 
from Trinidad in exchange. Among them were the thick- 
necked tree boa {Epicrates cenchria) and the carinated tree 
snake {Herpetodryas carinatus). 
10. A small boa received on September 1st from an un- 
known locality proved to be the emperor boa {Boa im- 
perator). 
11. On the 27th of the same month another boa was pur- 
chased, said to have come from the island of St. Kitts, West 
Indies, which appears to be Boa diviniloquax, a species 
rarely met with. 
12. Among a collection of snakes from Lake Kerr, Florida, 
made by Mr. N. P. Fry early in the summer, was one be- 
longing to the colubrine group, which it was not possible to 
refer to any previously defined genus. It was described by 
me, under the name of Stilosoma extenuata, in the Proceed- 
ings of the Academ}^ of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, 
1890, page 199. The Society has received many reptiles 
from this locality during the past three years, and as that 
portion of Florida is fairly well-known zoologically, the spe- 
cies must be of great rarity. 
13. A small snake, known as the crowned tantilla {Tan- 
tilla coronata), was also received from Florida. 
14. The California form of king snake {Ophibolus getulus 
hoylii) was presented in May by Mr. Whiteside from Pasa- 
dena, and was accompanied by Hammond's garter snake 
{Eutsenia hammondi).
