. Annual report of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution. Smithsonian Institution; Smithsonian Institution. Archives; Discoveries in science. Fig. 63. SCELOPORUS GRACIOSUS BAIKD AND GiRARD. X 2. Oregon. Collection of E. T>. Cope. on the back are but little wider than those on the belly, certainly not one and a half times as wide. They are acute, conspicuously keeled, and mucronate behind, but with only slight indication of lateral notches, and that only close to the median point. The belly scales are very rarely notched, generally angular, but sometimes a little truncate. Those on the inside of the tibia and between the anal region are smooth. There are about fifteen femoral pores. The ground color of this species is brownish; olivaceous above, with two conspicuous yellowish stripes on each side, the two inclosing a rather darker stripe, and the lower with a narrow interrupted dusky line below- it. On each side are two series of U-shaped or crescentic dusky blotches, one between the light stripes, tlie other above the upper one. They are separated on the back by a plain grayish line, equal to the width of two (sometimes three) scales. They really begin.
