No one except Gundlach himself has ever taken this species. We have 
searched for it in vain. Gundlach remarks that he found it only in “monte,” 
as a certain sort of lowland forest is called in Cuba, in the jurisdictions of Ma- 
tanzas and Cardenas. He adds that the species is rare. We believe the only 
specimen preserved in America is the imperfect one, in the Museo Gundlach 
of the Institute de Segunda Ensefianza in Havana. It is a strange looking 
wraith of a lizard, so slender that it resembles a fine twig as closely as the well- 
known walking sticks (phasmids) do. In 1918 we again examined the type as 
carefully, as possible, at a distance of perhaps sixteen or eighteen inches, for 
the case is kept permanently sealed at Gundlach’s most earnest request. We 
conclude that the species may probably be a synonym of Anolis alutaceus, but 
had best be kept separate until the types can be reéxamined.

Plate 4, fig. 1; Plate 6, fig. 6; Plate 8, fig. 1-3. 
Diagnosis: — A small slender greenish Anolis, having long low almost 
parallel frontal ridges, a few rows of enlarged scales in a light streak along the 
middle of the back, and a very long tail without distinct verticils.

Top of head with two nearly parallel and closely approximated frontal 
ridges, which are not greatly developed and border a shallow frontal trough; 
head-seales very feebly to rather distinctly keeled; about eight scales in a row 
between the nostrils; supraoculars semicircles separated by one or two scales; 
occipital large but somewhat smaller than ear opening, separated from the 
supraocular semicircles by but two rows of scales; supraocular disc consisting 
of three or four greatly enlarged irregularly shaped polygonal scales and several 
smaller ones, separated from the semicircles by a row of still smaller scales; 
canthus rostralis consisting of about five or six narrow elongate scales, con- 
tinued posteriorly, these form a superciliary ridge of elongate scales which
