canthal and frontal ridges; rostral low, narrower than the mentals; eight 

 or nine scales in a series between the nostrils; supraocular semicircles 

 partly in contact and parti j' separated by one or two minute scales; occip- 

 ital rather larger than ear opening, separated from the supraocular semi- 

 circles by two or three extremely irregular series of polygonal flat scales 

 some of which are larger and some about equal in size to the dorsal 

 granules ; supraorbital disc composed of eight or nine enlarged flat poly- 

 gonal and very slightly tubercular scales surrounded by several rows of 

 granules ; one large and two very small scales between the superciliaries 

 and the supraocular semicircle bordering the supraocular granules anter- 

 iorly; canthus rostralis sharp, consisting of five elongate shields ; supra- 

 ciliary ridge consisting of one very long and narrow anterior shield 

 followed by a double series of smaller scales which separates the supra- 

 ocular granules from those covering the lateral orbital region ; loreal rows 

 five, the lower row with raised lower edges, many of the others slightly 

 rugose and often separated from one another (especially the posterior 

 loreals) by minute granules; three posterior scales only, of subocular 

 semicircle, keeled ; all scales of this semicircle except the anterior one in 

 contact with the supralabials ; nine or ten supralabials, the suture between 

 the seventh and eighth being under the center of the eye; temporals 

 small, fiat and rounded, with two distinct enlarged supratemporal series; 

 dorsals rather coarsely granular, strongly keeled, a well defined median 

 double series of larger ones; ventrals, rather large, imbricate, rounded 

 behind, perfectly smooth, those of the throat smaller, more elongate, a 

 few on the gular pouch very slightly keeled ; fore limbs above with 

 sharply keeled scales, those on the upper arm slightly smaller, those on 

 the lower arm about equal in size to the ventrals ; anterior face of femur 

 and underside of tibia quite similarly covered, the scales on the former 

 gradually decreasing on the underside, the upper side of both being 

 covered with scales slightly larger than the dorsals ; scales on fingers and 

 toes sharply carinate ; digital expansion very wide, about 27 lamellae 

 under phalanges ii and iii of fourth toe ; tail moderate in length, strongly 

 compressed ; the caudal verticels distinctly indicated by vertical series of 

 more enlarged scales, those between being slightly smaller and more 

 pointed in about six vertical series, irregular and all strongly imbricate 

 and heavily keeled ; the scales along the upper edge of the tail raised and 

 spinous, forming a serrated ridge enlarged teeth of which correspond to 

 the posterior end of each verticel, three spines, two small and one large 

 correspond to each verticel; dewlap small, the anterior edge thickened; 

 a series of four enlarged fiat postanal scales. 



Color in spirits uniform brown above, thickly dotted and vermiculated 

 with darker ; all lower surfaces smoky. Color of dewlap in life unrecorded 

 but apparently smoky like the other ventral surfaces. 



This lizard is a heavy, rather clumsily built Anolis, with a rather broad 

 blunt snout and swollen jowls. The tail is but slightly longer than head 

 and body. The fingers and toes are long and sprawling and the digital 

 expansions very noteworthy. A single young specimen which Mr. Noble 

 also preserved shows the characters of the adult and is marked in just
