174 PROCEEDINGS OP THE ACADEMY OP 



high ; canthus rostralis straight, steep ; muzzle swollen between nostrils ; no 

 facial ridges, but a well marked, broad concavity. Eyes large ; palpebrae 

 projecting upwards, with a supraorbital disc of three rows of keeled scales, 

 which are longer than broad. Seven rows of loreals ; superciliaries six or se- 

 ven, separated by one row of scales of nearly equal size ; four rows between 

 continuation of superciliary rows, but all of nearly equal size, broad as long, 

 some keeled; eight scales across middle of muzzle; on end of muzzle 

 smaller. Two rows of scales (suboculars divided) between orbit and superior 

 labials. Labials 11. Symphyseal posteriorly convex in outlines, infralabial 

 small, subequal, keeled. Occiput small, surrounded by numerous flat 

 scales. Abdominal scales smaller than those of front, obtusely keeled. La- 

 terals and dorsals granular, minute, gradually a little larger dorsally, but- 

 less than two median rows, which extend from nape to on tail, which are 

 keeled and smaller than the abdominal. Exterior scales of extremities 

 larger, keeled. Digital dilatations not broad. Hind limb extended, reaches to 

 middle of lores. Tail slightly compressed ; scales at base smaller, flat, 

 keeled; two meridian rows larger. End of muzzle to ear \" \ ,ff ; ear to 

 vent 2" 9'''; vent to end of tail 6"; anterior extremity 1" V"; posterior to heel 

 1" 9"; hind foot \" \\" f . 



Above brown, outer edges of the two median dorsal rows much darker ; 

 a cross band on tibia ; below yellowish brown, rather closely shaded with 

 reddish brown, especially posterially and on extremities. A dark shade in front 

 of each inguinal region. 



One sp. 9- Vera Cruz. 



*** Tail cylindrical, without crest, or covered above with equal scales : ventralt 



smooth. 

 Anolis impetigosus. 



Muzzle elongate acuminate, depressed, rugte obsolete ; concavity shallow, 

 elongate rhombic ; nostrils terminal ; canthus rostralis not prominent. Scales 

 of front large, smooth, polygonal, as long as broad, anteriorly a middle series 

 separated by smaller ones from those of the canthus rostralis. Two large 

 broad plates between canthus rostralis and end of superciliary series. Latter 

 in contact medially, separated from the small occipital, which is surrounded by 

 flat subhexagonal scales, where they can be seen. Two bony ridges, converging 

 from the posterior part of the superciliaries, meet on the median line, and 

 project a short mucro, which is a little behind above the auricular opening. 

 Between these, as far as the narrow frontal region, the head is roughened by 

 minute exostoses. Supraorbital disc small, in contact with the supercilia- 

 ries, composed of three large inner and one small outer scales. Loreal rows 

 two ; auricular opening little more than half ocular. Abdominal scales 

 larger than dorsal, considerably larger than those of the front. Dorsal, late- 

 ral and longest extremital equal, smooth, flat, not regularly arranged ; epi- 

 dermis minute, scales of tail smaller than dorsal, except four median inferior 

 rows, which are keeled and nearly as large as those of front. Symphyseals 

 longer than broad, slightly divaricating posteriorly. Eight inferior labials 

 bounded below by one row of infralabials anteriorly, and two rows posteri- 

 orly ; the former larger than the labials, longitudinal. Gular fan large. 

 Extremities short ; tail a little longer than head and body, terminally com- 

 pressed. End of muzzle to ear 1 // 3 /// ; ear to vent 3 // 10 /// ; tail 6 // . Ante- 

 rior limb 1" 5'"; posterior 2" 3"'. 



Above and laterally very pale brown, with numerous short, darker, longi- 

 tudinally arranged streaks ; tail with a reddish tint. Below pale yellow ; 

 gular fan with many large black spots.
