THE HERPETOLOGY OF HISPANIOLA 



177 



Relationships. — The closest relative of Anolis chloro-cyanus is A. 

 coelestinus, which lives in the western portion of Hispaniola. Their 

 mutual affinities have been dealt with under the discussion of coelesti* 

 nus. 



Specimens examined. — As listed in table 30.

Description. — An adult male, U.S.N.M. No. 59180, from Port-au- 

 Prince, Haiti, collected on April 6, 1917, by J. B. Henderson and Br. 

 Paul Bartsch. Head elongate, depressed, with rather weakly devel- 

 oped ridges appearing on the snout anterior to the frontal region and 

 with a shallow concavity behind these ridges; head scales diversified 

 in size, the very small ones being found on the median area of the 

 snout, with larger ones approaching the canthus, all of them without 

 keels but some slightly rugose; rostral very low, equal to the mentals 

 in width; five scales between the supranasals; no regular series of 

 scales on the anterior part of the snout; supraorbital semicircles com- 

 posed of rather irregularly shaped large scales becoming smaller pos- 

 teriorly, separated from each other by two rows of small scales and
