136 THE HERPETOLOGY OF CUBA. 



trils; oval depression paved with about six flat polygonal scales; head-scales 

 generally flat or slightly inigose; about five scales in a row between the nostrils; 

 supraocular semicircles separated by one row of flat scales; occipital larger 

 than ear opening, just in contact with the semicircles; supraocular disc com- 

 posed of two or three large scales and a few smaller ones, separated from the 

 semicircles by a single row of very small scales; canthus rostraUs distinct and 

 prolonged from under nostrils to just over anterior border of eye, of about 

 seven long scales; no superciUary ridge; loreal rows, three; subocular semi- 

 circles indistmct, being really only the backward continuation of the lower 

 loreal row; about nine smooth supralabials, the eighth being about under the 

 centre of the eye; temporals small and flat, the central group smallest, a very 

 faintly indicated supratemporal line; scales of back, sides, and bellj^ all smooth, 

 small and almost uniform, the ventrals having a tendency to imbricate; scales 

 of anterior aspect of lower ami and hind Umb enlarged, flat and strongly im- 

 bricating; body elongate and rather depressed; no nuchal nor dorsal fold; 

 limbs short, the adpressed hind hmb reaches the shoulder; about twenty 

 lamellae under phalanges II and III of the fourth toe; tail rather long, almost 

 round, with weakly indicated verticils for the greater part of its length, these 

 separated by about six vertical series of keeled scales, the limiting row distinctly 

 enlarged; postanal scales considerably enlarged. 



Colour (in Ufe) : — (Specimen from Guane) light yellomsh or grayish often 

 with Ught lateral bands and with sUghtly darker dorsal rhombic markings, 

 throat flecked with darker; whole upper surface often covered with anasta- 

 mosing wavy Unes; lower part white; dewlap skin peach-blow pink, the scales 

 white and the edge ashy gray. 



Dimensions: — Total length (an adult from the Island of Pines) 114 nun. 



Tip of snout to vent 43 mm. 



Vent to tip of tail 71 mm. 



Width of head 6 mm. 



Fore leg 13.5 mm. 



Hind leg 23 nma. 



Though this species was very inadequately described, it is distinct and 

 seems to be the western Cuban representatives of Anolis isolepis, as A. lucius 

 is of A. argenteolus. Thanks to Mr. H. W. Fowler, Hallowell's type has been 

 examined and photographed. Since the type came from Cienfuegos an adult 

 male from the Jatibonico range, Santa Clara Province, was chosen for descrip-
