RW Store 1942 Thamnophis ordinoides 1. Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. February 11, 1942 A specimen of this species (MVZ. #37118) collected by Red Store at the San Joaquin Experimental Range, O Neals, Madera Co., Calif. although within the range of Couclii as defined by Fitch appears closer to gigas. 10 infralabials, 172 gastrosteges, and 23 scale rows. The specimen is an immature one (sex ?) The dorsal stripe is almost gone. It was put under couclii on the basis of range but the intergrades mentioned by Fitch should be reworked. It seems likely that gigas extends farther eastward than he says.
