"Although this Key is only seven miles distant from 

 Cayman Brae it has one species of Anolis which does not 

 occur at all on the other island, the green species which 

 is here abundant. It varies from a beautiful grass green 

 to brown. The common Anolis of Cayman Brae is also 

 abundant." 



Anolis luteosignifer sp. n. 



Cyclura nubila Gray, 1831. 



Hyla septentrionalis Tsch., Blgr. 



"The Hyla is very abundant but never occurs on Cay- 

 man Bj-ac. Although it has been carried there by the peo- 

 ple it will not live there."

"Two species of crocodile have been taken on this island 

 and one on Cayman Brae. I saw but a portion of one 

 specimen. The natives assured me the species were sim-
