tending to the middle or in front of the orhit ; second finger longer than fifth. 

 The latter is large ; tympanic orifice moderate. Nineteen teeth in the supe- 

 rior maxillary bone. Goitre very small. Abdominal scales imbricate sub- 

 acute, keeled ; lateral scales minute ; dorsal scales larger, less than the 

 ventral, fiat, keeled, in about twenty rows. Anterior brachial, antebrachial 

 and femoral, superior brachial and tibial, and inferior femoral and tibial 

 scales keeled. Occipital plate not in contact with the superciliaries. The 

 latter are rather large, five or six in number, in contact medially. Facial 

 rugae low, divergent. Frontal depression obpyriform, containing rather large, 

 flat, smooth scales ; scales of the muzzle smaller, carinate. Palpebrals nume- 

 rous, keeled. Canthus rostralis short, acute. Five rows loreal scales ; supe- 

 rior labials eight, inferior seven ; infralabials small. Length of head and 

 body 1 in. 4 lin. ; of tail 5 in. 6 lin. 



Light yellowish brown, median dorsal region and tail reddish brown, crossed 

 by some irregular blackish markings. A longitudinal light lateral band, 

 bounded above and below by a brown one. A brown band from eye to axilla, 

 one above it rising to the nape, one from superciliary region nearly joining 

 one from the opposite side behind the occiput. A band between the eyes and 

 one on the muzzle ; lips varied. A crossed-band on the tibia and femur 

 formed of two united triangles. Beneath golden with a coppery tint.

This species is much like A. 1 e m u r i n u s in form, but has the larger dor- 

 sal rows more numerous, and a different coloration. From A. chrysolepis 

 it differs in the more numerous series of larger dorsal scales. 



Anolis (Gastrotropis) r a du 1 i n u s. 



Size small, head not short. Tail cylindrical or slightly compressed, median 

 row of scales a little larger. Ventral scales ovate, keeled ; lateral scales mi- 

 nute ; the dorsal scales larger, fiat, keeled, becoming larger medially, where 

 two series are abruptly larger. Occipital distinct, isolated ; superciliaries 

 five, separated by three or four rows of minute scales. Facial ruga? weak, 

 enclosing a shallow concavity, which is covered with minute, keeled scales. 

 Those outside the rugse and on the muzzle are larger, keeled. Canthus ros- 

 tralis acute, nearly straight, soon obliterated. Nostrils terminal, lateral. 

 Six or seven rows of loreal scales ; labials nine nine ; infralabials small. 

 Auricular orifice rather large, vertical. Goitre large. Digital dilatations very 

 narrow. Anterior extremity reaching groin ; the posterior to beyond the 

 orbit. Length of head to tympanum 6 lin.; from tympanum to vent 1 in. 3 

 lin.; of tail 3 in. 6 lin. 



Above golden brown, with eight or ten narrow, chevron-shaped cross-lines, 

 the angles directed posteriorly. A lateral series of small white spots, most 

 distinct anteriorly, beneath which is a light longitudinal band, obsolete pos- 

 teriorly. A narrow brown band between the eyes ; extremities banded. Be- 

 neath brownish white. The 9 i s bronze brown, the dorsal line sometimes 

 darker. 



Habitat. Truando region, New Grenada. Lt. Michler Exped. coll. Mus. 

 Academy and Smithsonian (Nos. 4327, 4328.) 



In the minuteness of the interrugal scales this species resembles limi- 

 frons, poecilopus and fraseri. From the first the keeled ventral 

 plates and other peculiarities separate it ; in the second, the frontal and 

 loreal scales are smaller and the large dorsal scales more numerous. The 

 large occipital and coloration will separate it from fraseri. Sallaei, 

 coo peri and cupreus resemble it in form, but all have larger frontal 

 and muzzle plates; in sallaei the large dorsal rows of scales are more 

 numerous.
