148 THE HERPETOLOGY OF CUBA. 
more or less circular and very slightly depressed area paved with three flat 
polygonal scales; ridges not indicated on the snout; head-scales all flat; about 
four scales in a row between the nostrils; supraocular semicircles (as in loystana) 
composed of large scales broadly in contact their entire distance along the 
median line; occipital large, about twice as large as ear opening, separated from 
the supraocular semicircles by two rows of pavement-like polygonal scales; 
supraocular dise consisting of an anterior large scale, two smaller scales and a 
fourth very small scale, all the four so fitting one another as to compose an oval 
pattern (in other specimens the oval disc may be composed of only two scales) ; 
dise separated from semicircle by one or two rows of scales; canthus rostralis 
consisting of about four slightly elongate scales, canthus prolonged backward 
to a point above centre of eye. Loreal rows, two or three; seven smooth supra- 
labials, suture between sixth and seventh under the centre of the eye; temporals 
mostly flat but smallest and slightly tubercular in the centre of the temporal 
area. Supratemporal line indicated by a row of flat Juxtaposed scales; no en- 
larged dorsals, back and sides covered with minute brown or oblong flat or 
slightly tubercular scales, homogenous in character; ventrals larger, slightly 
imbricate and perfectly smooth; scales of the anterior aspect of fore and hind 
limb enlarged, smooth and imbricating; limbs short, digits shorter than usual 
in the genus; the hind limb being adpressed forward reaches about the ear 
opening; digital expansions moderately developed, about twenty lamellae 
under phalanges II and III of fourth toe; tail rather long and slender, much 
more than twice as long as head and body, slightly compressed at the base, 
covered with keeled and imbricating scales with verticils at intervals of about 
six or seven scales; two well-developed postanal plates. 
Colour (aleoholic specimen): — Body grayish of rather a light tone, mottled 
and spotted with darker; dewlap pinkish shading to orange at the margin; a 
dark postoccipital spot and a dark band between the eyes. 
Dimensions: — Total length 121 mm. 
Tip of snout to vent 36 mm. 
Vent to tip of tail 85 mm. 
Tip of snout to ear 12.5 mm. 
Width of head 8 mm. 
Fore leg 14 mm. 
Hind leg 25 mm. 
Generally speaking the colouration of this species is composed of longi- 
tudinal light and dark stripes along the body and one light lateral band at least
