Another of the rare species confined to Cuba, and of which I have never been 

 able to find a specimen.

Apparently a rare species; it was not represented in the Museum until on 

 our trip in 1912 when we secured a specimen at Madruga and one near Cienfue- 

 gos. In 1913 we got a fine series in the Sierra Maestra forests near Los Negros 

 in the jurisdiction of Jiguani and a few specimens at Monte Libano near Guan- 

 tanamo. The British museum did not possess a specimen at the time the second 

 volume of the Catalogue of lizards was written. Gundlach (Erpet. Cubana, 

 1880, p. 49) also remarks that he has found but few examples of this species 

 during his years of collecting. He adds that its range is not confined to any one 

 part of the island and that it is a woodland species. 



It is confined to Cuba.

I have identified with this very imperfectly described species a large sei-ies 

 of lizards some of which I caught at Los Negros, Baire, San Luis, Monte Libano, 

 Pozo Prieto and other stations in the Province of Oriente, and many other 

 specimens which Mr. C. T. Ramsden has sent me for study from a number of 

 points about Cuantanamo. I had at first named the adult males as a new spe- 

 cies but the large material which I have studied now con\inces me that all are 

 referable to this species, first described from Cienfuegos and so poorly charac- 

 terized that Boulenger was unable to guess at its validity or even to place it in 

 the British museum Catalogue of lizards. When the first young examples were 

 received from Mr. Ramsden I thought that possibly I had to deal with A. 

 cyanopleurus, a species which I have never seen but this species has keeled 

 ventral s(;ales and the figure of the head given by Bocourt (Miss. sci. Mex. 

 Reptil. pi. 1(), fig. 29) indicates a very different species. The greatly enlarged 

 scales on the ventral aspect of the tail and other characters agree well with 

 Hallowell's diagnosis. The colors fall into the range which Gundlach described 

 from two living specimens (Erpet. Cubana, 1880, p. 45).
