REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1902. 



JIah/tat. — Like Leiuiadojjhis exlyiia.s, the present species does not 

 reach Porto Rico jjroper, hut is confined to the islands of St. Thomas 

 and St. John, Vieques, and Culebra. It is absent in St. Croix, where 

 it is replaced l>y Ahojjhis .sanctlcmcis (Cope), and in Porto Rico proper, 

 where the corresponding species is A. portoricensis. 



Prof. S. Garinan records specimens of ^. antillensls in the Museum 

 of Comparative Anatom}^, Cambridge, as coming from Haiti. This 

 is the only report from this island, I believe, and I can not be but very 

 skeptical as to the correctness of the locality, in regard to which I 

 refer to similar remarks under Anoll>i stratulus and A. pulchellus, 

 pages Qh4i and Q%4i. 



Mr. Riise, who collected for the nuiseum in Copenhagen about forty 

 years ago, obtained specimens of tliis spec-ies from Vieques. Neither 

 Dr. Richmond, myself, Mr. A. B. Baker, nor any of the other mem- 

 bers of the FiMimrh expedition met with it in that island, where it 

 must now be rather scarce. On Culebra, however, the snakes are yet 

 fairly couunon, and several specimens were collected there by Mr. 

 Bajser.
