136 THE HERPETOLOGY OF CUBA. 
trils; oval depression paved with about six flat polygonal scales; head-scales 
generally flat or slightly rugose; about five scales in a row between the nostrils; 
supraocular semicircles separated by one row of flat scales; occipital larger 
than ear opening, just in contact with the semicircles; supraocular disc com- 
posed of two or three large scales and a few smaller ones, separated from the 
semicircles by a single row of very small scales; canthus rostralis distinct and 
prolonged from under nostrils to just over anterior border of eye, of about 
seven long scales; no superciliary ridge; loreal rows, three; subocular semi- 
circles indistinct, being really only the backward continuation of the lower 
loreal row; about nine smooth supralabials, the eighth being about under the 
centre of the eye; temporals small and flat, the central group smallest, a very 
faintly indicated supratemporal line; scales of back, sides, and belly all smooth, 
small and almost uniform, the ventrals having a tendency to imbricate; scales 
of anterior aspect of lower arm and hind limb enlarged, flat and strongly im- 
bricating; body elongate and rather depressed; no nuchal nor dorsal fold; 
limbs short, the adpressed hind limb reaches the shoulder; about twenty 
lamellae under phalanges II and III of the fourth toe; tail rather long, almost 
round, with weakly indicated verticils for the greater part of its length, these 
separated by about six vertical series of keeled scales, the hmiting row distinctly 
enlarged; postanal scales considerably enlarged. 
Colour (in life): — (Specimen from Guane) light yellowish or grayish often 
with light lateral bands and with slightly darker dorsal rhombic markings, 
throat flecked with darker; whole upper surface often covered with anasta- 
mosing wavy lines; lower part white; dewlap skin peach-blow pink, the scales 
white and the edge ashy gray. 
Dimensions: — Total length (an adult from the Island of Pines) 114 mm. 
Tip of snout to vent ; 43 mm. 
Vent to tip of tail 71 mm. 
Width of head 6 mm. 
Fore leg 13.5 mm. 
Hind leg 23 mm. 
Though this species was very inadequately described, it is distinct and 
seems to be the western Cuban representatives of Anolis isolepis, as A. lucius 
is of A. argenteolus. Thanks to Mr. H. W. Fowler, Hallowell’s type has been 
examined and photographed. Since the type came from Cienfuegos an adult 
male from the Jatibonico range, Santa Clara Province, was chosen for descrip-
