THE HERPETOLOGY OF HISPANIOLA 



177 



Relationships. — The closest relative of Anolis chloro-cyanus is A. 

 coelestinus, which lives in the western portion of Hispaniola. Their 

 mutual aflinities have been dealt with under the discussion of coelesti^ 

 nus.

Description. — An adult male, U.S.N.M. No. 59180, from Port-au- 

 Prince, Haiti, collected on April 6, 1917, by J. B. Henderson and Dr. 

 Paul Bartsch. Head elongate, depressed, with rather wealdy devel- 

 oped ridges appearing on the snout anterior to the frontal region and 

 with a shallow concavity behind these ridges; head scales diversified 

 m size, the very small ones being found on the median area of the 

 snout, with larger ones approaching the canthus, all of them without 

 keels but some slightly rugose; rostral very low, equal to the mentals 

 m width; five scales between the supranasals; no regular series of 

 scales on the anterior part of the snout; supraorbital semicircles com- 

 posed of rather irregularly shaped large scales becoming smaller pos- 

 teriorly, separated from each other by two rows of small scales and
