The register of the United States National Museum states that two specimens of this lizard (No. 8619) were collected by Dr. O. Loew, on Santa Cruz Island in June, 1875. These lizards are still in the National collection and are of considerable interest since they, and two from Ana Capa Island, are the only ones I have seen which approach the San Benito Island Uta (described below) in the character of their dorsal lepidosis. That these specimens actually were collected by Dr. Loew on Santa Cruz Island is, I think, open to little doubt, since he, with Mr. H. W. Henshaw and Dr. J. T. Rothrock, visited this island in June, 1875.[6]
A series of eight specimens collected on Santa Cruz Island, February 7, 1889, by Mr. C. H. Townsend of the U. S. Fish Commission, (U. S. Nat. Mus. Nos. 15909-15917) are all of the ordinary Uta stansburiana type with imbricate dorsals and mucronate caudals. Four others, taken by Mr. Joseph Grinnell at Friar's Harbor, Santa Cruz Island, are also of the usual type. These have femoral pores 13-14, 15-15, 12-13, and 15-15.
3. Sceloporus biseriatus becki Van Denburgh.
Mr. Joseph Grinnell has kindly sent me five specimens of the Sceloporus of Santa Cruz Island, three of which he has given to the Academy. All five show the characteristic coloration of S. becki. Three have the supraoculars in contact with the frontoparietals on both sides of the head, one has these scales in contact on one side but separated on the other, and the fifth specimen has granules intervening on both sides.
4. Gerrhonotus scincicauda Skilton.

Gerrhonotus multicarinatus Cope, Report, U. S. Nat. Mus. 1898 (1900), p. 525.
Yarrow and Cope record two specimens (U. S. Nat. Mus. No. 8626) collected on Santa Cruz Island by Mr. H. W. Henshaw in June, 1875. One of these is still in the National Museum, where I examined it some years ago.
