SYSTEMATIC ACCOUNT OF THE SPECIES. 159 
rows are well enlarged and perfectly evident; on the upper edge of the fin three 
saw-tooth scales separate the uppermost scale of two limiting rows; postanal 
seales slightly enlarged. 
Colour (in aleohol): — Brown, dark above, light beneath; on each side of 
the thoracic region two very dark blotches surrounded by more or less confluent 
small white spots. The dewlap appears to have been pink. 
This interesting novelty was discovered by Dr. Carlos de la Torre of the 
University of Havana during the cruise of the Tomas Barrera while collect- 
ing molluses at Cabo San Antonio, the western extremity of Cuba, as the guest 
of John B. Henderson, Esq., of Washington. Three specimens were secured, in 
asmall wooded area near the Ensenada de Cajon on the north coast of the Cape. 
All three specimens are in exact agreement with regard to the peculiar coloura- 
tion. From this fact it is very probable that as with certain other colour-char- 
acters in species of Anolis these dark spots surrounded with white dots repre- 
sent a permanent colour-pattern, while the ground colour of the rest of the 
body may vary a great deal.

Top of head with two short, rather indistinct, widely bowed ridges, where 
farthest apart separated by three or four series of faintly keeled or rugose scales; 
head-scales weakly keeled or rugose; about nine scales in a row between the 
nostrils; supraocular semicircles separated by two rows of keeled scales; occi-
