ward from the anterior borders of the supraorbital semicircles, which 

 are so characteristic of both porcatus fnd brunneus. We therefore 

 must conclude that coelestinus and chloro-cyanus are more closely 

 related to each other than either is to the remaining members of the 

 group.

 Description of the type. — U.S.N.M. No. 59210, an adult male from 

 Petionville, Haiti, collected on Apr. 1, 1917, by J. B. Henderson and 

 Dr. Paul Bartsch. Head elongate, its greatest width contained twice 

 in distance from ear to tip of snout; nostrils lateral, their distance 

 from tip of snout equaling one-sixteenth of head length; top of head 

 with two very low, diverging frontal ridges, reaching nearly to nos- 

 trils and enclosing an elongate depression; head scales without keels, 

 except the seven or eight enlarged supraoculars having blunt keels; 

 rostral rather large, its superior border curved; six or seven narrow 

 scales in a row between nostrils; supraorbital semicircles composed 

 of five large scales diminishing in size posteriorly, separated from each 

 other in the median line by a single row of small scales and from 

 supraoculars by one row of very small scales; occipital considerably 

 smaller than ear opening, separated from supraorbital semicircles by 

 about four rows of scales; six elongate scales on can thus rostralis; 

 superciliary ridge consisting of one extremely long shield and some 

 granules; loreal rows six or seven; scales of suborbital semicircles 

 bluntly keeled, broadly in contact with supralabials ; six supralabials 

 to a point below center of eye; seven lower labials; one pair of mental 

 shields, wider than the rostral; temporal granules about the size of 

 laterals; a well-marked series of small scales forming the supratem- 

 poral line; a distinct dermal fold from occiput to tail, covered by 

 four or five rows of enlarged granular scales, with the median row 

 keeled; the remaining dorsal scales granular; the laterals extremely 

 minute; granules on nuchal region between occiput and shoulders 

 coarse, nearly as large as the largest dorsals; ventral scales moder- 

 ately large, flat, transversely oblong or pentagonal; scales on throat 

 and breast smaller and slightly keeled; forelegs with small keeled 

 scales above; anterior scales of femur enlarged, keeled, gradually 

 diminishing posteriorly and below; scales covering hands and feet 

 above multicarinate; digital expansion wide, 35 lamellae under fourth 

 toe and 17 under fourth finger; tail long, very slightly compressed,
