tion of tubercles. It is a curious and noteworthy fact that the young of this 
species and of the Camaleon or Chipojo Verde (Anolis equestris) are very rarely 
seen and a naturalist may secure many adults without seeing a single immature 
example. This is certainly true with the Venus Lizard of Jamaica (Anolis 
garmani) which has frequently been observed and collected by one of the authors 
(Barbour). In so far as we are aware the young of the related species in Haiti 
and Porto Rico (Anolis ricordii and A. cuviert respectively) are entirely un- 
known.

Head long and depressed similar to but slightly wider than in Anolis por- 
catus; top of head covered with flat, rather uniform, small scales; frontal ridges 
very weakly developed, barely discernible; supraocular semicircles with second 
seale from anterior end very large, separated by two rows of flat scales; occi- 
pital in a depression, small, scarcely one sixth as large as ear opening; supra- 
ocular discs well defined, composed of about eight rather large and a few smaller 
scales, separated from the semicircles by two rows of scales; canthus rostralis 
not especially prominent composed of one large scale near the eye and then a 
double row of very small scales extending to Just below the nostril; a superciliary 
ridge of two or three very long scales; loreal rows, about eight; subocular 
semicircles represented by but about three scales in contact with the supra- 
labials; eight supralabials, the seventh under the centre of eye; temporals 
small, round and flat, uniform in size; no supratemporal line; dorsal scales 
slightly larger than laterals, the two middorsal rows largest; ventrals larger, 
squarish, in regular rows, slightly imbricate; scales of anterior aspect of fore 
and hind limbs slightly enlarged, imbricate but not keeled; body rather elongate, 
depressed; no nuchal nor dorsal fold; limbs long, hind limbs very long; the 
adpressed hind limb reaches almost to the nostril; about thirty lamellae under 
phalanges II and III of the fourth toe; tail rather long, round, with verticils 
feebly indicated at about eleven scale intervals; postanal scales not enlarged; 
a transverse gular fold.
