SPHAERODACTYLUS ELEGANS MacLeay. 



In 1834 MacLeay named a Cuban gecko SpTiaeriodactylus elegans.^ 

 It was revived for the present species by Reinhardt and Liitken 

 m 1863. 



Palmer and Riley collected this species at Pinar del Rio, Febru- 

 ary 23, at Mariel, June 10, and in Habana July 28, 1900. They 

 also obtained a specimen at Nueva Gerona, on the Isle of Pines, on 

 July 11. 



SPHAERODACTYLUS CINEREUS MacLeay. 



Figa. 30 to 34. 

 This species was also first briefly characterized by Mr. MacLeay ^ 

 as SpTiaeriodactylus dnereus from Cuban specimens without more 

 definite locality. Cocteau's employment of the name did not take 

 place mitil late in 1837, probably in December, when it appeared in 

 the second "livraison" of de la Sagra's Histoire Physique, Politique
