10 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol.66 



LEIOCEPHALUS PERSONATUS Cope 



Nine specimens (U.S.N.M., Nos. 65770-65773, 65775-65779) col- 

 lected during February, 1923 at Jovero. 



CELESTUS SEPSOIDES (Gray) 



Three specimens (U.S.N.M., Nos. 65784-65786) from Samana and 

 Laguna collected in March, 1923. These very rare skinks are a wel- 

 come addition to the collection in the National Museum. 



CELESTUS COSTATUS (Cope) 



One specimen (U.S.N.M., No. 60622), from 8 miles southwest of 

 Jeremie, collected on December 9, 1917; one (No. 60623) from Moron 

 taken December 20, 1917; two (Nos. 61931-61932) from Laguna, 

 near Samana, taken March 10 and March 7, 1917; three (Nos. 62361, 

 62363-62364) from Sanchez captured August 11 and 12, 1919; one 

 (No. 65780) from Las Cafiitas taken February 23, 1923; two (Nos. 

 55056-55057) from Santo Domingo taken in 1916; one (No. 59435) 

 from Rivier Bar, north Haiti, collected February 21, 1917. This last 

 specimen is badly mutilated about the head, so that the relation in 

 the size of the interparietal and parietals can scarcely be distin- 

 guished. It seems, however, that the interparietal is smaller than the 

 parietals, and this would exclude it from Cope's C. rugosus^ the type 

 of which is here in the National Museum. The Rivier Bar specimen 

 has very heavily keeled scales, but as the lizard is a very large one, 

 the largest in our collection, the keels are probably due to its size 

 and age. 



AMEIVA TAENIURA Cope 



Four specimens (U.S.N.M., Nos. 55052-5) from Santo Domingo 

 collected in 1916; one (No. 65018) from Laguna, Samana Peninsula, 

 taken in May, 1922. 



AMEIVA CHRYSOLAEMA Cope 



One specimen (U.S.N.M., No. 59925) from Moustique Bay col- 

 lected May 3, 1917; one (No. 60618) from Lake Assnei taken March 

 10, 1918; one (No. 60619) from Trou Caiman taken March 11, 

 1918; one (No. 59434) from Tortuga Island captured January 31, 

 1917. The specimen from Tortuga is slightly different from the 

 Haitian examples, as it has only three supraoculars instead of four. 

 Between the frontoparietals and the third supraocular of the Tor- 

 tuga specimen there are small scales distinctly larger than the 

 granules which are found in the other specimens. Without ad- 

 ditional material to prove that these differences are constant, I do 

 not think it advisable to describe a new species from Tortuga Island.
