well the return of one Gustave Sabille from the Bahamas. I had met the 

 man in Nassau and if I remember correctly returned with him once upon 

 u Ward Liner from the islands. He was a professional gatherer of living 

 birds and animals and went to the Bahamas to catch young flamingos. 

 On this occasion he returned to the Zoological Park with many birds of 

 various sorts and a few reptiles, among them one which I took at first to 

 be an old world Tarentola. He assured me that he got it in the Southern 

 Bahamas. I concluded finally that as he had been over, I think to Nipe 

 Bay, in Cuba, that it really probably represented T. cubana, then very 

 little known. The specimen finally came into my possession but now I 

 can not find it, and I think T threw it away fearing confusion if I kept it 

 with so much question regarding the locality. Naturally I have always 

 been half expecting that perhaps I myself or some one else might after all 

 find Tarentola in the Bahamas. I find one now in Mr. C. J. Maynard's 

 1915 collection from U Cay, in Allen's Harbor, near Highborn Cays in 

 the Northern part of the Exuma chain. After a very careful comparison 

 with a large series of Cuban specimens of the same size I have come to 

 the conclusion that this specimen though slightly aberrant in a few 

 characters is really true Tarentola cubana, which is by this note added to 

 the Bahaman fauna.
