Cope.] ^4:4 [Nov. 17, 



This species is allied to the A. bransfordil Cope, which has been foiiiul 

 so far in Nicaragua only. The A. branRfordii was described from a speci- 

 men about half the size of the type of A. lonr/ipes, but of very similar 

 proportions. In various details of structure they are similar, but in the 

 A. bransfordii the scales of ihe head and belly are smooth, and the latter 

 are longer than the dorsal scales. The latter are quite small, which can- 

 not be said of those of the A. longipes. Finallj^ the coloration is very dif- 

 ferent. The affinities of A. longipes to A. capito Pet. are not distant. In 

 the latter species the head is still shorter and wider, and it is covered above 

 and on the sides with larger and fewer scales, which are without keels.

Anolis trochilus Cope. 



Palmar, 319 ; Sierpe, 383, 384 ; loc? 291. No. 384 is a male with very 

 large fan. There is a trace of carination on the median dorsal scales, and 

 the tail is compressed, and the median superior row of scales form a 

 rather prominent serrate outline.

Rhadin^a ignita Cope. 



Boruca, No. 348. This specimen differs from the type in having onlv 

 one preocular plate, and in having the angle of the third superior labial 

 plate enter the orbit. The first-mentioned character was variable in the 

 specimens which served as types. In coloration the dots on the gastros- 

 teges are confined to the anterior sixth of the body, and the belly is yel- 

 low and not red. There are 117 gastrosteges, while in the type there arc 

 128. Bocourt has shown the great variability in the number of gastros- 

 teges in this genus. I suspect, however, that the specimen sent by Mr. 

 Cherrie represents a local race.

Scales lanciform, in seventeen longitudinal rows, all keeled except the 

 first, the second feebly. Head elongate ; eyes large, their horizontal di- 

 ameter equal the space from their anterior border to the posterior border
