SYSTEMATIC ACCOUNT OF THE SPECIES. 151 



separate the supraocular granules from those surrounding the eye; loreal rows, 

 five; subocular seirdcircles of strongly keeled scales broadly in contact with 

 the supralabials ; six or seven smooth supralabials, suture between fourth and 

 fifth under the centre of the eye; temporals very finely granular in the centre 

 with a very feebly indicated supratemporal Une; about eight dorsal rows of 

 scales distinctly enlarged, of these the median four rows with a moderately 

 well-developed keel, two median rows sUghtly imbricate, others juxtaposed; 

 rest of back and sides covered with minute granules; ventral scales as large 

 as or a Uttle larger than the largest middorsals, shghtly imbricate and feebly 

 but e\idently keeled; scales of forehmbs imbricate either uni- or pluricarinate, 

 on hind Umbs all imbricate scales with two or three keels ; scales on upper surface 

 of digits pluricarinate ; digits of hind limbs very long and slender, the expansion 

 very feebly developed; about twenty-seven lamellae under phalanges II and 

 III of fourth toe; tail very long, much more than twice as long as head and 

 body, shghtly compressed at the base, covered with subequal keeled scales, 

 with scarcely any indication whatever of verticils, with but the very faintest 

 indication of a serrated edge above; postanal plates very sUghtly developed ( 9 ?).

So far on none of our excursions have we ever been able to find this fine 

 Uttle Anohs, hence we know of it only from the literature. Cope described 

 it (Proc. Acad. nat. sci. Phila., 1861, p. 211) from the famous Cafetal "Monte 

 Verde" in the Sierra de Yatei'as of Guantanamo. The types were secured by 

 Charles Wright and were catalogued 5,737 in the Smithsonian collection; they 

 have apparently been lost. Gundlach found specimens, some of which he sent 

 to Peters and one of these was figured by Bocourt (Miss. sci. Mex., pi. 16, fig. 

 29). It is interesting to compare a facsimile of his figure with one of Mr. 

 Fischer's excellent drawings, the latter made from one of three specimens which 

 Peters sent in exchange to the British Museum. For the opportunity of ex-
