NO. 7 HERPETOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS — COCHRAN I9 



The same subspecies appears again in the Caicos group, where the 

 following localities are represented by lizards obtained from July 24 

 to August 4, 1930: U.S.N.M. nos. 81413-4 from French Cay; nos. 

 81415-28 from South Caicos; no. 81429 from Fort George Cay; nos. 

 81430-1 from Step Guano Cave on Cape Comete on East Caicos; no. 

 81432 from Pine Cay; 81433-7 from West Caicos; and nos. 81438-42 

 from Lorimer Creek on Grand Caicos. The largest male, no. 81419, 

 measures 63 mm from snout to beginning of tail. The coloration of 

 these Caicos lizards agrees with that of the neighboring Turks Island 

 form, both being much paler than many of the Mariguana lizards, and 

 much less spotted than the typical Inaguan form. 



ANOLIS LEUCOPHAEUS MARIGUANAE Cochran 



Anolis leiicopliacns marignanae Cochran, Journ. Washington Acad. Sci., vol. 21, 

 no. 3, p. 40, Feb. 4, 193 1. 



Diagnosis. — Similar in form to Anolis Icucophacus leucopliaeus 

 (Garman), but dififering from it in coloration. Ground color drab- 

 gray above, lavender-gray beneath, often with a wide clove-brown 

 lateral band which originates on the loreal region, passes through the 

 eye and above the ear, and widens above the shoulder, continuing onto 

 the base of the tail and gradually fading out; a light area usually 

 bounding its lower border ; a second dark lateral stripe beginning on 

 the malar region just behind the mental, continuing back beneath the 

 ear and merging in front of the shoulder with the upper lateral stripe 

 in some cases, in other cases widening and suffusing the entire side of 

 the throat and upper arm region with a dusky mottling ; skin of gular 

 fan lavender-gray, the scales white or olive-yellow. The young have 

 dark latero-ventral reticulations, and the throat usually has a series 

 of dark longitudinal lines. In adult males the tail fin is large and its 

 upper edge is indistinctly mottled with dark in the region of the rays. 

 Limbs sometimes unmarked, sometimes with wide, irregular dark bars. 

 Scales on limbs a little smaller than in leucophaeus proper ; scales of 

 tail a little larger. 



Type. — U.S.N.M. no. 81346, an adult male from Mariguana Cay, 

 July 18, 1930. 



Description of the type. — Top of head with two curving frontal 

 ridges which enclose a shallow median depression ; head scales very 

 unequal in size, the small ones flat, the larger ones with a very in- 

 distinct ridge or keel ; rostral low, much narrower than the mentals ; 

 four scales in a series between the nostrils ; a median row of four 

 or five transversely elongate scales on the prefrontal region, the
