Anolis sagrae D. & B. Tarpum Bay. 

 Ungualia maculata D. & B. Tarpum Bay. 



' ' This species is common throughout the Bahamas visited by our 

 party, but the U. cana was found only on Great Inagua. The species 

 have similar habits. They are found during the day coiled up 

 under stones in the dryest, hottest places with such incompatible 

 company as centipedes, scorpions, and tarantulas, for they are very 

 mild tempered little snakes." 



Crooked Island. 

 Anolis principalis brunneus subsp. nov. Plate X, fig. 3. 



This form is allied to A. principalis. It has the same shaped 

 head, and the same squamation of the body, with similar proportions 

 of limbs. It falls outside the usual range of variation of A. princi- 

 palis in some points of squamation of the head, and in the color. 

 Thus the supraorbital rows of scales are continued forward, to be- 

 tween the nostrils, not reaching the canthus rostralis, and are in con- 

 tact throughout, except an occasional separation by a single scale. 

 Thus there are but 4-5 rows across the front instead of 7-8 in prin- 

 cipalis. There are but three loreal rows, the middle one consisting 

 of but one or two scales, while there are 5-7 in the A. principalis. 

 The six or seven supraocular plates are of subequal size and are 

 obscurely keeled, and are in immediate contact with the supraorbi- 

 tals ; in A. principalis they are of unequal size and are separated 

 from the supraorbitals by a series of small scales. On the inferior 

 side of the second and third phalanges of the fourth digit of the 

 posterior foot there are 18, 20 lamella?, in the A. principalis there 

 are 24. 



The color is different from that of any stage or variety of the A. 

 principalis. Above -and on the sides leather-brown. On each side 

 two dark brown stripes, the superior the wider, and sending cross 

 processes towards the middle line of the back. Posteriorly it is 

 broken up into a series of dark brown spots which become wider, and 

 finally unite in crossbars on the tail. Below light yellowish, the 

 throat indistinctly lined with darker.
