THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SCIENCE BULLETIN Vol. XXII. 1 April 15. 1935 [No. 7. Descriptions of New Species of Lizards from Mexico of the Genus Uta, with Notes on Other Mexican Species HOBART M. SMITH, Department of Zoology, University of Kansas Abstract: The study is based upon Mexican specimens in the collections of Edward H. Taylor, David H. Dunkle and Hobart M. Smith. The species discussed are I'ta stansburiana stejnegeri, U. bicarinata, U. tuberculata, U. ornata ornata and A*, ornata lateralis. Via taylori and U. caerulea are de-scribed as new. THE following notes and descriptions are based upon specimens belonging to the genus Uta in three collections of reptiles and amphibians from Mexico — one secured during the summer of 1932 by Dr. Edward H. Taylor and myself, the others during the sum-mer of 1934, one by David H. Dunkle and myself, the other by Taylor. Specimens in the first collection are designated by EHT and HMS; in the second by DHD and HMS; in the third by^EHT. I wish to here express my appreciation for the aid received, in the collection and study of this material, from Dr. Edward H. Taylor. Mr. David H. Dunkle. Mr. C. D. Bunker and Dr. H. H. Lane. I am indebted in particular to Doctor Taylor for the privilege of studying and describing a portion of his personal Mexican col-lection. Thanks are also clue to Dr. G. K. Noble, who kindly com-pared a specimen of Uta tuberculata with the type; and to Mr. J. C. Bay of John Crerar Library for his kindness in loaning necessary reference books. The study has been aided by a grant from the University of Kansas graduate research fund. (1.57) 11—7186
