THE HERPETOLOGY OF HISPANIOLA

All the reproduced parts of the tails are dusky brown beneath, while 

 the original portion of the tail is light below. Thus the tails are dark 

 in irregular proportions, depending on where the severance came. 



The specimen with the longest tail, No. 76705, has this member one 

 and two-fifths the length of head and body. It is probable that the 

 tail is not much more than this even in a perfect state.

Description of the type. — U.S.N.M. No. 72600, collected on Morne 

 Cabaio, Massif de la Selle, Haiti, on April 10, 1927, by Dr. A. Wetmore, 

 at an altitude of 7,500 feet above sea level. Head not distinct from 

 neck, short, its width equaling the distance from the end of the snout 

 to the posterior border of the interparietal; rostral rhomboidal, much 

 wider than high, not touching the nasal, in contact with the first 

 supralabial and followed by a pair of supranasals broadly in contact; 

 a pair of frontonasals a little larger than the supranasals; prefrontal 

 undivided, pentagonal in shape but much wider than long, very
