It will be noticed that the animal described and figured l)y me differs 

 greatly from Peters's original description of Anolis gundlachi The 

 discrepancies are so many and so great that at first J felt quite con- 

 fident of having a new species. My doubts were dispelled, however, 

 when I took my specimens over to Berlin and compared them directly 

 with Peters's types, with which they are identical. 



The present species in many respects resembles A. cristatellus^ 

 which also has a caudal fin and a brownish ground color. It is easily 

 told apart, however, by the more numerous scale rows between the 

 supraorliital semicircles and between the latter and the occii)ital.

 two slightly diverging frontal ridges; forehead hollow; all the head 

 scales keeled or wrinkled; rostral very low, narrower than the men- 

 tals; about eight scales in a series between the nostrils, those nearest 

 the latter distinctly elongated; three to four series of scales separating
