specimens, interspersed with a darker hue, the whole being overlaid 

 with a fine dark reticulation. The underparts are olive-drab, and 

 there are several longitudinal series of dark dots beginning on the 

 labials and chin, and leading backwards to the sides of the neck. The 

 number of subdigital lamellae on the third and fourth phalanges of the 

 fourth toe vary from 19 to 25 in number. The supraorbitals are always 

 in contact. The supraocular plates may be large or small, keeled or 

 smooth. When large there are live or six. When small there may be 

 as many as 11, of which 2 or 3 are conspicuously greater than the rest. 

 The largest male, no. 81269, is 70 mm in length from snout to begin- 

 ning of tail. 



One example of Anolis Icucophaeus Garman, now U.S.N.M. no. 

 81245, was collected on August 5, 1930, on Little Inagua Island. It is 

 a half-grown male and cannot be distinguished from those on the 

 larger neighboring island. 



ANOLIS LEUCOPHAEUS ALBIPALPEBRALIS (Barbour) 



Anolis albipaipcbralis Barbour, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, vol. 29, p. 215, 1916. 

 From the Turks Island Group on July 31 and August i, 1930, came 

 a series of lizards, belonging to a species which Dr. Thomas Barbour 

 described as Anolis albipalpebralis in 1916, but which he recently 

 synonymized with leucophaeus, — ^U.S.N.M. no. 81285-9 from Long 

 Cay ; nos. 81290-8 (topotypes) from Grand Turks Island ; nos. 81299- 

 301 from Salt Cay; and no. 81302 from Cotton Cay of the Salt Cay 

 group. None of the adults are as heavily spotted with black as are the 

 adults from Great Inagua. The largest male, no. 81285, measures 

 74 mm from snout to beginning of tail. The skin and scales of the 

 dewlap are olive-yellow posteriorly, becoming olive-gray anteriorly, 

 where a small patch of the fan scales on either side is heavily dotted 

 with slate color. The center of the throat and the malar region are 

 ochraceous buff. The remainder of the ventral surface is olive-buff. 

 The top of the head is light clay color and the upper surface of back, 

 Hmbs, and tail are drab-gray, with a few indistinct sepia vermiculations 

 on the nuchal region and behind the axilla. Some of the young and 

 half-grown lizards show a distinct longitudinal striping of the back, 

 consisting of a pale middorsal area and a double line of sepia on each 

 side. Some show a light lateral stripe, which puts an abrupt termination 

 to the clay color characteristic of the upper surfaces of the young 

 lizards. Sometimes there are widely spaced sc[uare sepia spots down 

 this middorsal light area, about six of them between occiput and tail, 

 a suggestion of which we sometimes find in the young leucophaeus 

 from Great Inagua.
