U.S. N.M. nos. 791 1 1-2 from Petit Miistique Island, Grenadines, 

 August 18, 1929; nos. 79147-9 from Frigate Island, Grenadines, 

 August 22, 1929; nos. 79194-5 from IMineral Springs, northeast 

 Grenada, August 27, 1929. In their " Revision of the Lizards of the 

 Genus Ameiva " in 191 5, Barbour and Noble say regarding this species 

 that " it is probable that it also occurs in some of the Grenadines ". 

 This prediction is justified by the first two records given above. 

 Comparative measurements and scale counts of all these specimens, 

 including three additional Grenada specimens in the national collection, 

 have been made as follows : 



The two adults from Petit Mustique Island show a pattern of 

 relatively large pale dorsal spots surrounded by a heavy black reticu- 

 lation, while the adults from Frigate Islands have the pale spots some- 

 what smaller and more sparsely scattered, and the black pigment is 

 reduced to a narrow rim around the light spots and to some small 

 patches between them and along the middle of the liack. 



Although the number of transverse rows of ventrals was given as 

 14 by Garman, and this count was later repeated by Barbour and Noble,
