Two Races of Elgaria kingii Gray

Abstract

J. A. TIHEN, Harper, Kansas Recent examination of specimens of Elgaria kingii* from New Mexico, Arizona and Chihuahua has led to the conclusion that two subspecies are recognizable. The following notes are based on a total of sixty-five specimens from the following collections: Carnegie Museum, Cornell University, American Museum of Natural History, Museum of Comparative Zoology, University of Kansas, University of Rochester, United States National Museum, and the collection of Dr. Edward H. Taylor. I am deeply indebted to the persons in charge of these various collections for making the material available to me for study.
