some extent, inasmuch as the specimen which was held captive for 

 a little while occasionally rolled the tip of the tail up under him 

 much after the fashion of a true chameleon. The specimen before 

 it was caught was of a nearly uniform rich dark brown. 



ANGUS LUCIUS DamSrU and Bibron. 



Three specimens were collected by Palmer and Riley at Matanzas 

 on February 14, 1900. 



ANOLIS ARGENTEOLUS Cope. 



Figs. 49 to 51. 



Four specimens collected by myself on April 22, 1914, near Santiago 

 in the eastern part of the island, shortly after Mr. Palmer obtained 



the Matanzas specimens of A. 

 lucius, afforded a chance for 

 direct comparison of these two 

 species which Boulenger had 

 united.^ The differences are 

 many and the separation fully 

 justified, as already set forth by 

 Doctor Barbour.2 



A specimen (No. 26777 U.S. 

 N.M., collector's No. 9071) col- 

 lected by myseK was colored as 

 follows : Ground color above pale 

 ecru-drab with faint dusky mark- 

 ings and a series of white spots, 

 ill defined but more or less margined with dusky down the median line 

 of the back; tail cross-banded witli pale dusky; supralabials and sub- 

 ocular white; underside white, waxy, almost translucent, the throat 

 with narrow gray divergent lines which disappear on the neck ; dewlap 

 whitish with series of rather close-set white scales; tongue white. 

 Several smaller individuals, with scarcely a dewlap, resemble the 

 specimen described, but the whole belly is decidedly primrose-yellow, 

 not white as the rest of the under surface. Found principally on 

 trunks of trees with pale-colored bark. 



Additional specimens were collected by Palmer in 1902 at El Cobre 

 and San Luis. 



ANOLIS SAGREI Dutneril and Bibron. 



Figs. 52 to 54. 



Large series of this common species were secured by all the parties.

 los Banos ; Santiago de Cuba ; El Guamd, Pinar del Rio ; Quemadas ; 

 Matanzas; Pinar del Rio; Guanajay; Caimito; Mariel; Cabanas;
