From San Jose. Dr. Yan Patten. 



This is a large species, being about equal to the A. edwardsii of 

 Jamaica. It is one of the most elegantly colored among the 

 species of a beautiful genus. 



Its affinities, as alread}'^ pointed out, are to the A. squamulatus, 

 Peters, which is very near the A. laticejys of Berthold. 



ANOLIS MICEOTUS, Cope, sp. nov. 



Auricular opening not larger than nares. Scales generally 

 larger ; four rows between orbits ; two rows of large ones above 

 orbits ; seven rows between rows of canthus rostralis at middle 

 of muzzle ; three loreal rows at middle ; three large smooth infra- 

 labial rows. Scales of tail and foreleg three or four keeled. 



Brown, with cross-bands of large paler ocelli crossing the sides 

 behind the axilla, at middle, and at crura. Eye and a broad band 

 to shoulder, dark brown. 



Description. — Scales of back, sides, and belly equal and smooth. 

 Tail compressed at base, distally cylindric, covered with equal 

 scales. Front without ridges, but with well-marked concavity ; 

 all the scales covering it equal and smooth. Occipital or parietal 

 region concave, with high latero-posterior bounding ridges, which 

 do not unite, but leave a notch between them (in one specimen). 

 Occipital region covered with small scales. Zygomatic arch pro- 

 mine^it, canthus rostralis not tubercular. Fan well developed. 

 First two infralabial scales longer than the others. Limbs short, 

 stout, anterior not reaching groin, posterior extending to angle 

 of lower jaw. Dilatations well developed.
