Ameiva rush Iieinh. Little, 1862. 



Porto Rico specimens appear to be a little lighter in 

 color, more red on the back and head, and have the "whit- 

 ish frecklings on the hinder part of the body and the base 

 of the tail, as also the dark spots along the flank, less nu- 

 merous and distinct than those from St. Thomas. The 

 latter have the colors a trille darker, more olive, and the 

 white specks and the black spots less faded. 



Amkiva lineolata D. & B., 1839. 



The series exhibits a gradation from the keeled to the 

 smooth caudal scales. A very dark throat marks the lar- 

 gest specimen.
