It will be noticed that the animal described and figured by me differs 

 greatly from Peters's original description of Anolis gundlachi. The 

 discrepancies are so many- and so great that at first I felt quite con- 

 fident of having a new species. My doubts were dispelled, however, 

 when I took iny specimens over to Berlin and compared them directly 

 with Peters's types, with which they are identical. 



The present species in many respects resembles A. cristatellus, 

 which also has a caudal fin and a brownish ground color. It is easily 

 told apart, however, by the more numerous scale rows between the 

 supraorbital semicircles and between the latter and the occipital.

 scales keeled or wrinkled; rostral very low, narrower than the men- 

 tals; about eight scales in a series between the nostrils, those nearest 

 the latter distinctly elongated; three to four series of scales separating
