Dave I agree, nice lookers there Chuck!

I just got home from a visit to Joecops place.

All of the L.t.t.'s that he has from Montgomery Co.

seem to have a Temporalis influence. I would be very

interested to see some groups from Anne Arundel, Howard,

and Prince George Counties. Ted Thompson has some L.t.t.(?)

from Baltimore Co. that are just insane. They are almost hypo

and very similar to Temporalis. Temporalis are known to be found in Charles, though few records exist, Calvert, St. Marys, and Cecil Counties, so I wouldn't doubt that their genes, I'll leave their origins up to debate in another post, would flow into the L.t.t. of surrounding counties. Mark Hardie showed me

a preserved L.t.t. that he had, it was given to him while taking it's last breath. It was from Frederick Co. and was hypo melanistic, i.e., pink, with a solid white belly, and a collar. Sad to say the least! There are some very interesting things going on with the Maryland Triangulum. I personally believe that there is some integration going on, aside from the ludicrous idea of the Elapsoides X Triangulum integration. The smoking male that Joe gave me, with the Coastal like neck collar, and red saddles, has the typical L.t.t. sides of broken bands, unlike a Temporalis. Hmmmmmm. If anybody has photos of Triangulum from the above locales, please do share.
