This work (Bulletin No. 32) is the forty-second of a series of papers intended to illustrate the collections of natural history and ethnology belonging to the United States, and constituting the National Museum, of which the Smithsonian Institution was placed in charge by the act of Congress of August 10, 1846. It has been prepared at the request of the Institution, and printed by authority of the honorable Secretary of the Interior. The publications of the National Museum consist of two series—the Bulletins, of which this is No. 32, in continuous series, and the Proceed- ings, of which the ninth volume is now in press. The volumes of Proceedings are printed, signature by signature, each issue having its own date, and a small edition of each signature is dis- tributed to libraries promptly after its publication. From time to time the publications of the Museum which have been issued separately are combined together and issued as volumes of the Miscellaneous Collections. These are struck off from the stereotype plates from which the first edition was printed, and in this form are distributed by the Smithsonian Institution to libraries and scientific societies throughout the world. Volume 13 of these collections includes _ Bulletins 1 to 10, inclusive; volume 19, volumes 1 and 2 of the Proceed- ings; volume 22, volumes 3 and 4 of the Proceedings; and volume 23, Bulletins 11 to 15, inclusive. Full lists of the publications of the Museum may be found in the cur- rent catalogues of the publications of the Smithsonian Institution. Papers intended for publication in the Proceedings and Bulletins of the National Museum are referred to the Committee on Publications, composed as follows: T. H. Bean, A. Howard Clark (editor), Otis T. Mason, Leonhard Stejneger, Frederick W. True, and Lester F. Ward. SPENCER F. BAIRD, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution.

WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, 1887, hs ie aoe we hid aie hp. es LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. PHILADELPHIA, January 16, 1886. DEAR Sir: In the following pages you will find a systematic and synonymic catalogue of the species of Batrachia and Reptilia described up to this date as inhabiting Central America and Mexico. It is very largely based on the specimens contained in the Museum of the Smith- ' sonian Institution. ‘To each species is added a list of the localities at which it has been discovered, together with the name of the discoverer, or, in the absence of that, with the name of the author who is responsi- ble for the correctness of the locality. In the great majority of cases I have seen the species, and am responsi- ble for their validity, but I have admitted a number on the authority of other authors. For aid in the identification and in other respects, I am indebted to the magnificent report on reptiles and amphibians by Du- méril and Bocourt in the series published by the Mission Scientifique au Mexique et dans ’Amerique Centrale, and to the work of Giinther in the Biologia Centrali-Americana, of which four numbers have ap- peared up to this date. The receipt, at the last moment, of the Cata- logue of the Lizards in the British Museum, by Boulenger, has enabled me to make a number of additions, but not to quote it as fully as I should like. No attempt has been made to arrange the species in accordance with their geographical distribution, as the facts collected to this end are not yet sufficiently numerous. The total number of genera represented in this catalogue is 197, and of species 705. These are divided between 135 Batrachia and 570 Rep- tilia. For further details, see end of catalogue. I am your obedient servant, E. D. COPE. Professor 8S. F. BAIRD, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution.

Guatemala, Salvin; Vera Paz, Bocourt ; Tehuantepec, Sumichrast. * Dr. Giinther, after examination of several specimens of this species, comes to the conelusion that the Claudius severus is not different, and that the genus Stauremys of Gray must be united with Stau- rotypus. As Dr. Giinther finds Gray’s definitions of both his species and genus to be only applicable to certain individuals, or to be unreliable, his conclusions are accepted in this catalogue, and the sup- posed forms united. Another observation of Giinther in the same work (Biologia Centrali-Americana), requires no- tice. Heremarks that he does not find the characters of the genus Claudius sufficiently distinc- from Stanrotypus. As I at one time, without full investigation, placed the Stawrotypus salvint in Claudius, I have given some support to such a view. On examination of the plastron of the two species, I now find that they not only belong to different genera, but to different families and different suborders. Staurotypus is clidostern, with the plastron and carapace firmly united by close suture. In this division it enters the Cinosternidw, having no mesosternal bone. On the other hand, Claudius is one of the Chelydridx, the plastron having only contact with the carapace by free digitations (Dac- tylosterna), and there is a large mesosternal bone. Its near ally is Chelydra. 24 BULLETIN 32, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. DACTYLOSTERNA. CHELYDRIDZ. Claudius Cope. Proc. Acad. Phila., 1865, p. 187, 1872, p. 24, pars; Bocourt, Miss. Sci.

The arrangement adopted in this catalogue is in general that of my system pub- lished in 1864,* but I have subordinated the divisions somewhat differently. This consists chiefly in distributing the divisions of the group I then proposed under the name of Pleurodonta, and regarding them as of equal rank with the other three pri- mary suborders—Acrodonta, Nyctisaura, and Opheosauri. This distribution estab- lishes five additional suborders, and two new ones are added, the Geccovarani and the Anguisauri. The former of these is based on characters brought out by Mr. Bou- lenger in his essay on the classification of the Lacertilia;+ the latter is made neces- sary by a different estimation of the characters I described in the memoir above men- *Proc. Acad. Phila., 1864, p. 224. tAnn. Mag. Nat. Hist., 1884, p. 117. BATRACHIANS AND REPTILES, CENTRAL AMERICA AND MEXICO. 25 tioned. The number of suborders is thus eleven, and the families they embrace num- ber twenty-two. For the characters of five of these families I am indebted largely to Mr. Boulenger. As elsewhere, the orders and families of Lacertilia cannot be arranged in a linear series. There are three lines whose terminal groups are the Chameleontide, the Gecconidie, and the Scincidie, respectively, and between these most of the families can be arranged. The suborders and families are as follows: I.—Proétic not produced beyond arched body; dentition acrodont; olfactory lobes not underarched; two suspensoria; No clavicle nor mesosternuin; no columella; tongue papillose, extremity sheathed.

The former is supposed by Bocourt, O’Shaugnessy, and Boulenger to be the species named A. biporcatus by Wiegmann in the Herpetologia Mexicana many years previ- ously. I have on the other hand regarded the large common species of Eastern Mexico as the true A. biporcatus; but M. Bocourt regards it as undescribed, and names it A. petersit. Now Wieg- mann’s collections were, so far as I am aware, madein Mexico, and it is scarcely likely that this large species escaped him. On the other hand the A. vittigerus is a Central and South American species, much less conspicuous, and does not occur in Mexico. It is highly probable that Prof. Wiegmann had not seen it at the time of the writing of the Herpetologia Mexicana (1834). There is nothing in Wiegmann’s description which disagrees with the Mexican species, or especially indicates the A. vittigerus. Itlooks as though some exchange of labels had taken place in the transmission of the specimens from Berlin to Paris. 32 BULLETIN 32, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. ANOLIS PENTAPRION Cope, Proc. Acad.

These are the longer body and shorter limbs, the pres- ence of a large single preocuiar plate instead of two, and the uniform coloration. I add that the inter- parietal plate is longer and narrower, and in one specimen now before me the anterior two internasals are both in front of the nasal plate instead of one being above it. In this specimen there is no anterior’ interfrontonasal. BATRACHIANS AND REPTILES, CENTRAL AMERICA AND MEXICO. 41 GERRHONOTUS RHOMBIFER Peters, Monatsber, Akad. Wiss.

In the following pages I present synoptical diagnoses of the genera of the Ophidia arranged in key form. These are placed under subfamily heads which are not, with the exception of the Homalopsinz, defined. It is not certain, therefore, that their contents are in all cases properly limited or distributed. It remains a desideratum to discover the characters of the natural divisions of the Colubride, if any there be. The characters presented by Duméril and Bibron, and by Giinther, are important but insufficient. For the definition of the genera distinct characters exist, although the subject is one of much difficulty. The object of definition being, as I imagine, pre- cision and the consequent increased facility of determination, I have employed all structural characters whatever, and only neglected them where it is evident that they are inconstant within the limits of a species. I find of the greatest importance the grooved or non-grooved characters of the posterior teeth, and the absence or number of the scale-pits. The division or non-division of the anal scutum is also of much importance, although in a very few genera (e. g., Xenodon) it is not constant. Relying, as the system always must, on exact characters, I have not allowed consid- erations of ‘‘ physiognomy ” to change a result where it conflicts with structure, which is, however, rarely the case. The tendency of some authors to neglect characters and to depend on “ physiognomy ” destroys precision and explains nothing, besides ren- dering identification of species most laborious, resting as it must in that case on purely empirical methods. I also do not use as generic characters the number of rows of scales, or of labial scuta, or the size of the eye, believing that these are only available in the distinction of species. In a few instances I have not been able to examine the skeletons of genera of doubtful position, so that their reference to a family division may yet have to be altered, Ihave, however, studied the fine series in the museums of Paris and Washing- BATRACHIANS AND REPTILES, CENTRAL AMERICA AND MEXICO. +9 ton, besides a considerable number in my own collection. For the characters of many genera which I have not seen I have had to rely on the descriptions of others; especially of Drs. Peters and Giinther. EPANODONTA, TYPHLOPID. I.

In four specimens from Colima it is so separated in three, and in two from Vera Cruz it is so separated on both sides in one, and in the other, on one side of the head and not on the other. In a specimen from Greytown, Nica- ragua, referred in the Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society, 1877, p. 19, to the B. ortontt itis separated by two rows, and there are fifteen scales between the eyes instead of the usual number, eleven. I believe all these individuals to belong to one species, which is, as stated by Sumichrast, generally distributed in Mexico. The numbers of scuta and scales in several specimens is as follows: Greytown, scales, 69 rows; gasteosteges, 242; ? Tehuantepec, sc. 69; g. 249, mosteges, 58; Colima (four specimens), sc. 71-3-4; gasteosteges (one specimen), 242; mosteges, 58; Cordova, Vera Cruz, sc. 73; Mirador, Vera Cruz, sc. 65; g. 238; u. 53. There are then three well-cefined species of Boa: the B. constrictor, B. imperator, and B. diviniloguax. The B. ortonii must be referred to the B. imperator, and the B. mexicana has not yet been sati:factorily separated from the B, diviniloguax. The B. aques continues to be represented by the type specimen only. 66 BULLETIN 32, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. Xiphosoma Wagler. Nat. Syst. Amphib., 1830, p. 167; Dum. et Bibr., vii.

It is allied to the ZL, epistema D. & B., but has better claim to be regarded asa species than that form. The head and nape are black above and below, except a band of yellow from lip to lip crossing the middle of the occipital plates. The body is red, and is marked by forty-one broadly oval black spots placed trans- versely and separated by narrow interspaces of two and three scales length. The red spots are not light-bordered, and the red scales have no markings. The belly is unspotted. The tail is of lighter color than the body, and is marked by seven blaek rings.
