82 BARBOUR — REPTILES FROM OLD PROVIDENCE [^oJ^Vlf ' 



Isabel, with an anchorage. The island supports a small popu- 

 lation engaged very largely in turtling, and it is visited by 

 schooners from Key West several times a year. These little 

 vessels go to the island for cargoes of green turtles which are 

 then kept in the Key West * crawls,' whence they are shipped 

 North or are slaughtered for the cannery. 



Old Providence was visited in 1884 (April 4-9) by the U. S. 

 Fisheries steamer Albatross, and the naturalists aboard made 

 the small collection here recorded. 



Iguanidae 



Ctenosaura sp. 



A single young Ctenosaura was obtained, which certainly is 

 closely related to C completa Bocourt. It is, however, not im- 

 probably distinct and undescribed. The genus Ctenosaura, how- 

 ever, is in a quite chaotic condition, but it cannot be revised to 

 meet the modern requirements of the discriminating systema- 

 tist until the types of the early authors can be examined; and 

 in this case the types are widely scattered in various European 

 Museums. 



Teiidae 



Cnemidophonis lemniscatus (Daudin) 



A single example agrees well with examples from Curagoa and 

 from Margarita Island, and with others from the Spanish Main. 



Cnemidophonis espeuti (Boulenger) 



Three typical specimens apparently offer the second occasion 

 for this name to appear in the literature. Boulenger 's type was 

 a single specimen, a female, from this same island (Cat. Liz. 

 B. M., 2, 1885, p. 362). The species has not been found else- 

 where. One of these specimens is now in the Museum of Com- 

 parative Zoology.
