REPTILIA. 275 



We found it at Soledad, near Cienfuegos and in the forest about Madruga, south 

 of Matanzas. We also have it from Matanzas itself collected in 1912 by V. J. 

 Rodriguez and brought to the Museum by Dr. C. de la Torre. It is also not 

 rare in the heavy forests of the foothills of the Sierra Maestra and in 1913 we 

 found it in the woods. near Pozo Prieto, back of Los Negros, Jurisdiction of 

 Jiguani, and also at Cabo Cruz. It is confined to Cuba.

Boulenger, in the Zoological record for 1887, was the first to place Carman's 

 species from St. Bartholomew in the synonymy of Cope's species from Anguilla. 

 This I can confirm definitely, as I have compared a topotype from Anguilla 

 (M. C. Z., No. 6,157) with the type series of thirty-five specimens which F. 

 Lagois collected on St. Bartholomew and described by Carman (M. C. Z., No. 

 6,165). A comparison of the text of Cope's and Carman's descriptions, or 

 of Boulenger's description of Cope's species, will show that they are all obviously 

 describing the same form. It is strange that Carman should not have noticed 

 this, since he had this same Anguilla specimen for comparison, but separated 

 by many pages in his list from the description of A. virgatus. In the jar with 

 Carman's types I find a label which identifies them with Dsiudin's Anolis lineatus. 

 According to Boulenger this species has keeled ventral scales, which A . gingivinus 

 has not. Another label suggests that this species may be A. alliaceus Cope, also 

 from "Anguilla Rock near Trinidad." Cope, however, described that species 

 from specimens having no locality, and Gunther places A. alliaceus as identical 

 with specimens from Dominica. 



In 1869, Cope (Proc. Ajner. phil. soc, 11, p. 159) recorded this species from 

 the island of St. Martins. 



In 1871 Cope noticed it from St. Eustatius, saying also, "This species was 

 described by me from specimens in the British Museum said to be from ' Anguilla 

 Rock, near Trinidad.' It appears from Dr. van Rijgerma's investigations, 

 (Proc. Acad. nat. sci. Phila., 1871, p. 220) that the island of Anguilla, far north of 

 Trinidad, was meant."

This species was first described from specimens without any data as to 

 locality. Gunther declares that specimens from Dominica are indistinguishable
