May, 1907.] Collection of Batrachians and Reptiles. 
i55 
young specimens. C. espentii, according to Cope, is “confined 
to certain islands of the eastern coast of Central America,” but 
this collection would make it appear that the species occurs 
commonly on the mainland. The specimens were collected as 
follows: 
No. 43. Gualan, Guatemala, January 25, 1905. 
No. 41. Gualan, Guatemala, January 25, 1905. 
No. 49. Los Amates, Guatemala, February 25, 1905.

No. 57. Gualan, Guatemala, January 13, 1905. 
( b ) Cnemidophorus deppii is represented in this collection by 
13 specimens, 9 adults and 4 young. This species is restricted to 
Central America, and is closely allied to C. guttatus. In some 
of these specimens the anal scales are not entirely continuous 
with the abdominal scales as described by Cope, in four spec¬ 
imens there are some small scales between the larger abdominals 
and anals. Seven specimens have three pre-anal plates and six 
specimens have only two per-anals. The length varies from 3f 
inches to 9J inches; the average length of the adults is 7f inches, 
all above that length are males.
