142 THE HERPETOLOGY OF CUBA. 



with A. lucius. It is not improbable that the remarks which he makes regard- 

 ing the cUfference between males and females in that species really indicate 

 that he had both forms. He rarely gives more than "Cuba" for the locaUty 

 of any of his Cuban specimens, and the specimen of Anolis cyanojAeurus which. 

 he so kindly loaned bore this information only. Very probably lack of data, 

 poor preservation, and the very small number of specimens available in the 

 British Museum from Cuba, account for his confusion of these and other local 

 species.

Top of head with two well-bowed ridges, not closely converging anteriorly, 

 at a point about halfway between eye and nostril the ridges separated by four 

 scales; head-scales either keeled or strongly rugose; about six scales in a row 

 between the nostrils; supraocular semicircles separated by one row of keeled 

 scales; occipital rather small, in a depressed area, about half the size of ear 

 opening; separated from the semicircles by three or four small but strongly 

 keeled scales; supraocular discs well defined composed of five or six large and 

 a number of lesser scales, some almost flat, some weakly keeled, discs separated 

 from the semicircles by a row of small scales; canthus rostraUs distinct, com- 

 posed of about three very elongate scales, two long scales overlapping form a 

 supercihary ridge reaching to about the middle of the eye; loreal rows, four; 

 the lower loreal row is enlarged and passes backward below the eye in contact 

 with the supralabials, so that there is no true subocular semicircle; about five 

 large smooth supralal)ials, the fourth under the eye; temporals keeled, those of 

 the central temporal area very small, almost granular ; a faintly indicated supra- 

 temporal Une; scales of back and sides keeled, about eight middorsal rows 

 enlarged, more strongly keeled and more imbricating; ventrals larger than the 

 largest dorsals, imbricating and strongly keeled, the keels continuous; scales 

 of anterior aspects of fore and hind limbs slightly larger than the ventrals, 

 strongly keeled and imbricating; body stout, rather compressed; a very faint
