SYSTEMATIC ACCOUNT OF THE SPECIES. 153 



Just as this paper was ready for the press the junior author succeeded iu 

 findmg this beautiful little species at La Alcachofa in the Sierra de Yateras, near 

 Guantanamo; the very region whence the type came and doubtless near one 

 of Gundlach's localities, for he found it near Cimarrones and "in the eastern 

 part of the island." 



The species is very lovely, the style of colouration very fine. The sharply 

 defined dorsal zone is russet with or without narrow cross-markings; the sides 

 grass-green, the belly clear white as also the lip margins. The dewlap seems 

 inconspicuous and ashen gray. 



The long fine tail, the slender form and many details of squamation recall 

 sharply A . semilineatus of Haiti and San Doixdngo.

 in a row between the nostrils; supraocular semicircles not strongly marked, 

 separated by one row of small scales; occipital irregularly oval, slightly larger 

 than ear opening, separated from the semicircles by several rows of scales; 

 supraocular discs large, irregular, composed of about six or seven enlarged, many 

 keeled scales, in contact with the semicircles or separated by one row of very 

 small scales; canthus rostralis composed of about five scales, not prominent, 

 supracihary ridge very indistinct; loreal rows, five; subocular semicircles 

 distinct, composed of several large keeled scales, widely in contact with supra-
