the second and third phalanges of the fourth toe, 28 under the entire 

 toe; tail short, compressed, with well-marked verticils of somewhat 

 enlarged rectangular scales, those between being pointed and smaller, 

 in about six vertical, somewhat irregular series, all imbricate and 

 keeled, surmounted by a strongly serrate edge of enlarged triangular 

 scales, three to every verticil, the last one slightly the largest; dewlap 

 naked, with many close-set series of rather small, smooth scales, edge 

 thickened and set with larger scales; postanal scales pronounced; a 

 skin fold on the neck, less distinct on the back. 



Dimensions: Tip of snout to vent, 48 mm.; tail incomplete; snout 

 to posterior ear, 17 mm.; snout to center of eye, 9 mm.; orbit to tip

 rons across the back between neck and end of bod} 7 ; lower parts 

 lighter, the ventral scales and the dewlap powdered with very minute 

 gray dots. 



Variations. — Regarding its variations, I find that the postoccipital 

 scales may be larger or smaller, according to the individual, and in 

 this respect there is scarcely a valid difference between the Gonave 

 Island lizard and that on the Hispaniolan mainland. The distance 

 from the anterior edge of the orbit to the tip of the snout in the former 

 is on an average about one-sixth greater than the distance between 

 the two orbits measured from the edge of the canthus directly above 

 them, while in the latter the two dimensions are practically equal, 

 this giving a rather elongate and more pointed appearance to the 

 snout of the Gonave Island lizard, while the Hispaniolan form exhibits
