THE HERPETOLOGY OF HISPANIOLA 295 



The same coloration prevails in this specimen, with a similar absence 

 of any tendency toward white stripes bordering the dark lateral 

 stripes. 



One additional specimen of this species, F.M.N.H. No. 10916, taken 

 on Gonave Island by S. T. Danforth on July 16, 1927, has 17 and 18 

 femoral pores, 5 lower labials to a point below the center of the eye, and 

 the preanal plates as in the type. The third supraocular is in close 

 contact with the prefrontal, without any intervening granules. The 

 brachials and antebrachials are practically continuous on the left side, 

 but not continuous on the right, although the scales between them are 

 fairly large. The coloration is like that of the type. The head and 

 body measure 72 mm.; arm, 24 mm.; leg, 49 mm.; snout to posterior 

 border of ear, 19 mm; tail broken.

Original description. — "Diagnosis.- — -Eight rows of ventral plates; 

 caudal scales oblique, distinctly keeled above, smooth on sides and 

 bottom of tail; nostril anterior to the nasal suture; three large supra- 

 oculars, the first not in contact with loreal; a black dorso-lateral band 

 beginning behind the eyes, widening greatly on the body and con- 

 tinuing on the tail; no light spots except on anterior surface of femur; 

 40 lamellae under the fourth toe; 25 scales in the fifteenth verticil of 

 the tail. 



"Type. — An adult, M.C.Z. 37567, from Saona Island, Dominican 

 Republic, collected on April 8, 1934, by the Utowana Expedition. 



"Description of the type. — Profile of head flat on top, curved only at 

 the very end of the snout; nostril anterior to the nasal suture; rostral 

 forming a right angle behind ; anterior nasals broadly in contact behind 

 the rostral; frontonasal as long as wide, narrowly in contact with 

 the large loreal; prefrontals broadly in contact; frontal in contact 

 with three supraoculars on each side; three large supraoculars, the 

 anterior one not touching the loreal; a very minute scale behind the 

 third supraocular; frontoparietals in close contact with the third 

 supraocular; seven superciliaries, the three anterior ones on the left 

 side in contact with the first supraocular, the two anterior on the right; 

 the remaining superciliaries separated from the posterior supraoculars
