One specimen of this species was found among the dead fishes on 

 the shore, early in March. I have seen two large living speci- 

 mens in the New York Aquarium, brought from Bermuda by Prof. 

 C. E. Bristol and party, in 1899. 



REPTILES.

A single specimen of this small lizard was recently found in a jar 

 containing a mixed lot of marine invertebrates collected by Mr. G. 

 Brown Goode, at Bermuda, in 1876. 



The only label was " Bermuda," in Mr. Goode's handwriting. As 

 the specimens in the jar had never been assorted and all the other 

 things were common Bermudian species, Ave must infer that the 

 locality label is correct. But since there is no special note in 

 respect to the lizard, it is quite possible that Mr. Goode knew that it 

 had been carried to Bermuda, in captivity. It is possible, however, 

 that he did not distinguish it from the young of the common Ber- 

 muda species and for that reason made no special note of it. No 

 other example has occurred, so far as I know, but that proves very 

 little, for no systematic search for reptiles has been made by any 

 one in Bermuda. 



Mr. Samuel Garman has compared this specimen with those taken 

 in the southern United States and Cuba, and finds no differences 

 whatever. 



It is quite possible that it has recently been introduced into Ber- 

 muda, either accidentally or intentionally, and that it has become 

 locally naturalized there, in small numbers, like several foreign 

 birds. This lizard was first mentioned by me in the Amer. Journ. 

 Sci., xi, p. 330, April, 1901.
