Two specimens were taken on San Clemente Island by C. H. Townsend in
1889. Mr. A. W. Anthony and Dr. E. A. Mearns also found the species
there and sent specimens to the National Museum.
I have examined those collected by Mr. Townsend and Mr. Anthony and
six specimens sent me by Mr. Joseph Grinnell, of which three are now
in the collection of the Academy, and am unable to distinguish the
island lizards from the form originally described by Baird and Girard.
The femoral pores in three specimens are eleven, twelve, and fourteen.

This lizard was found on San Clemente by Mr. C. H. Townsend. I have
examined several specimens in the collections of the University of
California and the California Academy of Sciences without finding
differences between them and specimens from San Nicolas and Santa
Barbara Islands.
LOS CORONADOS.
I believe that only one reptile from Los Coronados is represented in
collections, but I am informed that several other kinds, including
_Gerrhonotus_ and _Hypsiglena_, occur on these islands[7].
[Footnote 7: Since this was written I have been informed by Dr. F.
Baker, of San Diego, that he has taken the following reptiles on these
islands:--
North Coronado:
_Gerrhonotus scincicauda_ [_ignavus?_], July 3, 1898,
_Eumeces skiltonianus_, July 3, 1898.
South Coronado:
_Uta stansburiana_, July 3, 1898,
_Gerrhonotus scincicauda_ [_ignavus?_], July 3, 1898,
_Cnemidophorus stejnegeri_, July 3, 1898,
_Hypsiglena ochrorhynchus_, August 13, 1898,
_Crotalus_ [_oregonus_], August 13, 1898.

secured on Los Coronados. Dr. Stejneger has shown that this specimen,
which is still in the National Museum, is a Pacific Rattlesnake.
