Excerpt from Differential Characteristics of Southwestern Rattlesnakes Allied to Crotalus Atrox I have been much aided by new material not available to previous workers. Of preserved material, several museums have recently made important acquisitions; particularly, the University of California and the California Academy of Sciences have lately increased their collections from both the northern and southern sections of Lower California. Important Lower California material is to be found in the United States National Museum, the Field Museum of Natural History, the American Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cambridge. My own collection has lately been augmented, through the kindly assistance of Mr. C. C. Lamb of the University of California.

Reptilian scales may seem simple to the naked eye, but under a microscope they are very complex with multiple patterns across their surface that are much like a human fingerprint. These patterns have been shown to be species specific but there has been no way to quantify these differences. A new technique has been found using the confocal microscope that allows a measurement of the roughness of a surface. The roughness of the scales of Crotalus atrox were measured and compared with factors such as sex, age, clade, and various environmental variables to help determine if this technique may be useful to taxonomists in determining species, or if it is simply a measure that is dependent on the environment. Crotalus atrox was chosen for this study because it is a very widespread species spanning across the southwestern United States and encompassing many different biomes. The results found that the roughness of a scale decreased as the snake aged, and was significantly different between the two clades, with the Eastern clade being much rougher. When these factors were controlled in the analysis of the environmental factors, it was found that a higher temperature seasonality and a higher maximum temperature in the warmest month both caused an increase in scale roughness.
