Santa Barbara Island.

I believe no reptiles or amphibians have been recorded from this island. I have seen only the following species:

1. Xantusia riversiana Cope.

Mr. Joseph Grinnell has sent me four Xantusias from Santa Barbara Island. They are smaller than the specimens I have seen from the other islands, but seem to differ in no other respect. The largest is 64 mm. from snout to vent. All are dark drab above with small, discrete black spots. One shows traces of longitudinal dorsal bands near the tail.
