THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SCIENCE BULLETIN Vol. XXII. 1 April 15, 1935 [No. 6. Miscellaneous Notes on Mexican Lizards HOBART M. SMITH, Department of Zoology, University of Kansas Abstract: The study is based upon the material secured in Mexico in the collections of Edward H. Taylor, David H. Dunkle and Hobart M. Smith. Notes are given on Hemidactylus turcicus, Iguana rhinolopha, Ctenosaura pectinata, C. acanthura, C. similis, C. hemilopha, Basiliscus vittatus, Crota-phytus collaris collaris, C. wislizcnii, Phrynosoma • cornutum, P. modestum, Ameiva undulata undulata, Heloderma horridum and Anelytropsis papillosus. Phyllodactylus lanei and P. homolepidurus are described as new. THE following notes are based upon the specimens of certain miscellaneous genera of lizards contained in three collections from Mexico: One secured during the summer of 1932 by Dr. Edward H. Taylor and myself, another during the summer of 1934 by Air. David H. Dunkle and myself, and the other during the sum-mer of 1934 by Doctor Taylor (specimens in these collections in-dicated by EHT and HMS, DHD and HMS, and EHT, re-spectively). I wish here to 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 further indebted to Mr. L. M. Klauber, who has loaned specimens of Phyllodactylus from the United States and Baja California; to Dr. Leonhard Stejneger, who has given notes from the log of Meyen's "Reise urn die Erde" relative to the type locality of Meyen's Phyllodactylus tuberculosus ; to Dr. J. W. Bailey, who has kindly examined and offered his opinion concerning the identity of some of the Ctenosaurs; and to Mr. J. C. Bay, of John Crerar Library, for his kindness in loaning necessary reference works. The study has been aided by a grant from the University of Kansas graduate research fund. (119)
