" The original type series included two, a male and a female, in the Brit. Mus. Nat. Hist., from CobSn, 

 Guatemala; one, U.S.N.M. No. 12206, from Arriba, Costa Rica, and one, U.S.N.M. No. 6117, now lost, from 

 Jalapa, Veracruz. Dunn (Proc. New England Zool. Club, vol. 12, 1930, p. 18), in discussing A. irUermedius 

 of Central America, mentions "the type of nannodes, U.S.N.M. No. 12206. Costa Rica," stating that it is the 

 same as intermedins. We regard this action as constituting a restriction of the name to mtermedius and 

 rendering U.S.N.M. No. 12206 the lectotype of nannodes. The Mexican specimen obviously represents 

 laeviventris, while the Guatemalan species represented by the Coban specimens remains uimamed. Stuart 

 (Misc. Publ. Mus. Zool. Univ. Michigan, No. 69, 1948, p. 50) restricts the name nannodes to the Guatemalan 

 species, inasmuch as a name is available for each of the other two species (now laeviventris of Mexico, inter- 

 medins of Costa Rica) represented in the cotypes. This procedure certainly is the most desirable, but in 

 view of the fact that Dunn previously restricted the name to the Costa Rican species, Stuart's course can- 

 not, apparently, be maintained. The name Anolis sluarti Smith , new name, is proposed for the Guatemalan 

 species represented by the two cotypes of nannodes in the British Museum of Natural History, from Cobta, 

 Alta Verapaz. For a description of the types, see Boulenger, Cat. Liz. Brit. Mus., vol. 2, 1885, p. 78. 



The Anolis nannodes (auct.) from numerous localities in Mexico is the species laeviventris. — H. M. S. 



<' In various papers (first in Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 1866, p. 123) Cope records this species 

 from Yucatan and from "Tehuantepec"; Duges (La Naturaleza, ser. 2, vol. 2, 1896, p. 479) records it from 

 Taugancicuaro (Michoacan), Guadalajara (Jalisco), and Cerro de los Amoles (state?); Mocquard (Bull. 

 Soc. Philom. Paris, ser. 9, vol. 1, 1899, pp. 155-156) records it from Guadalajara, Jalisco; and Peters (Monatsb. 

 Berl. Acad., 1869, p. 874) records it from Matamoros, Puebla. We believe all these records refer to other 

 species with smooth ventrals. We are unable at this time to place them accurately. 



" Bocourt possessed for his description the type of schiedii and a series of specimens from CobSn, Guate- 

 mala; all the latter are, however, apparently referable to A. cobanensis Stuart. 



<' Cope's record (U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 32, 1887, p. 31) for Jalapa, Veracruz, is highly questionable.
