A rather wide ranging form. Cuban and Bahaman individuals seem to be 

 indistinguishable. Known from Cuba, Great Bahama, Great Abaco, Stranger 

 Cay, New Providence, Andros, Cat, and Crooked Islands. 



In Cuba, as in the Bahamas, this is a species characteristic of the zone of 

 vegetation bordering the ocean beach. It is very common, living in burrows in 

 the masonry of the walls of Morro Castle and Cabafias Fortress at Havana, and 

 at the Morro of Santiago de Cuba, as well as at the forts on the foreshore near 

 Matanzas. 



Leiocephalus virescens Stejneger. 

 Stejnegbb, Proc. U. S. nat. mus,, 1900, 23, p. 471. Rosen, Lundsuniv. arsskrift, 1911, 7, no. Fi, p. 35. 



A local race confined to Green Cay, south of New Providence Island, de- 

 rived from L. carinatus. 



Leiocephalus varius Garman. 



Garman, Prop. .Vnior. phil. soc, 1887, 24, p. 274. 



The types of this species are in the collection, well preserved (M. C. Z., 

 No. 6,023). It is confined to Grand Cayman. On Cayman Brae Garman 

 recorded L. carinatus, but these specimens are not quite typical of that species. 

 No member of the genus has been taken on Little Cayman. 



Leiocephalus loxogrammus Cope. 

 Cope, Proo. U. S. nat. mus., 1887, 10, p. 437. 



The type of this species came from Rum Cay, collected by the naturalists 



of the U. S. F. C. S. Albatross. It was later taken at the same island by May- 



nard and recorded by Garman. (Bull. Essex inst., 1888, 20, p. 13). More 



recently still Stejneger has reported it from Watling's Island. It is not known 



elsewhere, but may be looked for upon others of the Bahamas as yet herpeto- 



logically unexplored. 



Leiocephalus vittatus (Hallowell).

In 1909 I found this species very abundantly about Camaguey (Puerto 

 Principe) Cuba, and a series was obtained there. The Museum had other
