SPECIES ERRONEOUSLY RECORDED. 



Many species either through a misplaced label, in the museum or in the 

 field, have been recorded from localities which know them not. Errors arise 

 also from mistaking a species which has been accidentally or purposely 

 introduced for a native form. Cf. Gundlach's account of Hemidadylus mabouia 

 (Erp. Cub., 1880, p. 55). 



1. Cayman sclerops (Schneider). 



While this alhgator is really South American, it has been recorded from 

 Cuba by Gray (Ann. mag. nat. hist., 1840, 5, p. 115). 



2. Testudo denticulata Linne. 



This species, usually known by the name of Testudo tabulata Walbaum, has 

 been often carried about aUve and hence has been recorded from many of the. 

 Antilles, from Cuba and Porto Rico among others. It is confined to the South 

 American mainland.
