parts of limbs (in adult male) ; no dark axillary spots ; top of head and 

 loreal region dull drab with a powdering of minute gray dots. 



"Paratypes.— Four other adults, U.S.N.M. 75910-13, and two 

 young ones, U.S.N.M, 75914-5, were collected at the same place and 

 time as the type specimen. Four fine half-grown individuals, now 

 M.C.Z. 37535-8, were taken at Jacmel, the type locality, by M. 

 Andre Audant. An example from the Artibonite Valley, Haiti, 

 U.S.N.M. 75916, collected by J. S. C. Boswell, also appears to belong 

 to this subspecies although it may represent an intergrading form. 



^'Relationships. — Because of the pecuharly swollen nose, this 

 subspecies strongly suggests its close neighbor Leiocephalus per- 

 sonatus personatus, which likewise has a highly convex profile in the 

 adult male. But this subspecies is even more suggestive of the 

 one found on Beata Island, Leiocephalus personatus beatanus, for both 

 have essentially the same coloration — wide dark and light stripes on 

 the body without crossbands in the adult, and with the spots on the 

 chin arranged regularly in transverse rows which continue on the 

 sides of the head. The hindlegs and tail of the Beata lizard are 

 suffused with a brilliant cadmium orange or cinnamon, while these 

 regions of the Jacmel lizard are similarly but less vividly colored with 

 gamboge. The coloring everywhere is brighter in the Beata lizard, 

 and the dark crossbars in that race occur not only on the tlu-oat but 

 well back onto the chest also, unlike the condition in aureus.^'

''Original description. — Diagnosis. — Color pattern somewhat simi- 

 lar to that of L. p. mentalis but less definite; 20-24 lamellae on the 

 fourth toe; adpressed hindleg of the adult reaches between ear and 

 shoulder, very rarely in front of ear ; 57 to 64 very spinose dorsal scales 

 between occiput and beginning of tail; occipital scale usually much 

 reduced in size and pushed forward so that the inner parietals are in 

 nearly complete contact with each other. 



"Description oj the type. — U.S.N.M. No. 74054, an adult male from 

 Cap-Hai'tien, Haiti, taken by A. J. Poole from March 3 to 6, 1928. 

 Head shields enlarged, ridged excepting those bordering the rostral; 

 three scales (an internasal and 2 prefrontals) between the rostral and 

 the supraorbital ring; posterior prefrontals much the larger; nasals 

 in contact with rostral; internasals somewhat elongate, in contact 

 narrowly with each other behind the rostral; internasals, prefrontals 

 and anterior parts of the frontals embracing a median series of 

 three contiguous scales; prefrontals separated from the canthals
