The latter synonymous form was described as a subspecies, and was founded 

 by Garman upon color differences, which he states were evident in comparison 

 with specimens of A. trinitatis Reinhardt & Liitken. The color was said to be 

 "intermediate between that of the light-grayish varities, from Trinidad and 

 Petit Martinique [A. gentilis] and the brownish from Barbadoes," [A. extremus]. 

 It is described as being "olive or bluish; the legs show more of the lilac color." 

 According to Allen's careful and extensive field notes, made from the Uving 

 specimens, they are described as being invariably light grayish in life, and as 

 being found entii-ely confined to the shore formation of vegetation. They are 

 almost always found on the bark of the cocoloba and manchioneel trees; indeed, 

 Allen found them nowhere else, and never took one in the interior of the island. 

 Allen reports that the belly is grayish in life, the upper side often spotted, and 

 the gular appendage pale gray, or perhaps better, greenish gray. He was re- 

 quested especially to investigate this latter character, as the pouch color is a very 

 valuable diagnostic feature. Until comparison can be made directly with the 

 allied forms in their Uving state, it is impossible to separate specimens from 

 Trinidad, Grenada, and Petit Martinique. 



Boulenger (Cat. hzards Brit, mus., 1885, 2, p. 31) considers A. trinitatis a 

 synonym of A. alligator so-called. A comparison of numbers of specimens from 

 Trinidad and Martinique shows that this is not justified, and the species should 

 stand alone as quite distinct from A. extremus from Barbados, on tlie one hand, 

 and from J., cepedii from Martinique, on the other. On zoogeographical grounds 

 this course is reasonable, since the fauna of Trinidad, Grenada, and the Grena- 

 dines is more homogeneous than is the fauna of Grenada and Barbados, or 

 Grenada and St. Lucia or Martinique. 



Anolis grahamii Gray. 

 Gray, Cat. lizards Brit, nius., 184,5, p. 247. B.^rbour, Bull. M. C. Z., 1910, 52, p. 296. 



A Jamaican lizard easily confused with the following, but perfectly distinct. 

 It occurs only in eastern Jamaica, so far as my collecting shows. The specimens 

 which I recorded having taken at Mandeville were really from Mooretown.
