334 BATRACHIANS AND LAND REPTILES 



a color in life different from red/" From my own personal experience with 

 the Anoles in Porto Eico I am inclined to attach great weight to the color of 

 the dewlap, and I foimd it constant even in very closely allied species. I shall 

 therefore follow Garman in calling the northern Bahama specimens A. ordina- 

 tus, those from Cuba A. sagrei and those from Tnrks Islands Anolis sp. ? 



Anolis leucoph^us Garman. 

 Anolis leiicophwus Garman, 1888, Bull. Essex Inst., vol. xx, p. 9. 



Cope's A. cinnamomeus is six years younger than A. Icncopliceus of Gar- 

 man, who informs me of their identity. He writes that he is in donbt whether 

 A. 7noorei Cope is really distinct. 



Cyclura cyclura (Cnvier).

jSTo uncertainty exists concerning the status and relationships of the spe- 

 cies Cyclura hceolopha Cope, C. carlnaia Harlan, and C. rileyi Stejneger, re- 

 spectively from Andros, Turks Islands and Watlings; they are easily distin- 

 guished inter se and from the species inhabiting the adjoining larger Antilles 

 Cope's reference of an iguana from Cat Island to the typical species Cyclura 

 cyclura, or C. nuhila as he calls it," is therefore highly dubious, but as the 

 specimen upon which the record is made appears to be lost,'' I am at present 

 unable to settle the question. 



Leiocephalus carinatus Gray.

When describing L. virescens, the only other Bahama specimens of this 

 group accessible to me were a few without definite locality collected by Bryant. 

 Since then I have examined true L. carinatus from Andros, collected by 

 Mr. Riley during the Expedition of the Geographical Society of Baltimore, and 

 a specimen from Cat Island. It follows that L. vircsccns is a local form from 



'"Mr. Riley in his field notes speaks of a "black" Anolis "with an orange- 

 colored throat frequcHting old fences and bushes along the road and the more 

 open woods." This is probably A. ordinatus Cope.

'^ In the record book of the Division of Reptiles, U. S. Nat. Mus., a specimen 

 from Cat Island is entered under No. 14576 as Cyclura nuhila. The specimen sa 

 tagged is not a Cyclura, however, but Leiocephalus carinatus Gray.
