Rept., 1875, j). 41.—Yar- Kow, Reptiles U. S. CJeoj;-. Survey W. of 100th Mer., 1875, V, p. 546. A .specimen described by Baird and Girard nuder the bead of Unt(c- nia sirtalifi, from Westport, )S^e^Y Yorlc, is iiuiformly blackish between the longitudinal stripes, when the epidermis is removed, and brown when it is present, the black spots being entirely fused. The keels of the scales are of a lighter brown. The belly is grayish green, with black spots near the ends of the gastrosteges, extending from the base, as in the typical i!/. s. sirtalis. In this respect it dif- fers from the E. s. trlvittata. In no other specimen have the spots disappeared by fusion, leaving the stripes intact, so perfectly as in this specimen. In those individuals (Cat. No. 1019) from the Lac qui Parle, Minnesota, the fusion is complete as to the superior row of spots, but the inferior may be seen faintly outlined on stretching the skin, as in some of the dark forms of E. s. jxirietalis. In a specimen in my private collection from Mitchells Bay, Ontario (Dr. J. H. Garnier), the spots are nearly obliterated and can not be defined anywhere, and the dorsal stripe is very obscure on the posterior half the length; belly normal.
