162 THE HERPETOLOGY OF CUBA. 
ciliaries and the supraorbital semicircles bounding the area of the supraorbital 
granules anteriorly; canthus rostralis sharp, consisting of five or six elongate 
shields which are continuous with the superciliaries; loreal rows five or six; 
subocular semicircles in contact with supralabials; supralabials six, the suture 
between the fifth and sixth under the centre of the eye; temporals excessively 
minute, granular, no enlarged series forming a supratemporal line; dorsal and 
lateral scales minute, granular, none on the middorsal line enlarged; ventral 
scales medium in size, flat, imbricate, without trace of keel; scales of throat 
and chest also smooth; fore limbs above with small, imbricate, very feebly 
keeled scales, smaller than the ventrals; femur and tibia with similar but 
slightly larger and smooth or very feebly keeled scales; fingers and toes above 
not distinctly carinate; digital expansion narrow, above fifteen lamellae under 
phalanges II and III of fourth toe; tail (broken in type); long in U.S. N. M. 
”? 
26,731, compressed, without a ‘‘fin,” divided into irregular segments of about 
five keeled scales each, the limiting row of each segment slightly enlarged); 
in type, dewlap rather large, with smooth scales, anterior edge slightly thick- 
ened; postanal scales not enlarged. 
Colour (in life): — Mottled gray-brown, of more or less a “salt and pepper” 
appearance. Dewlap white, with a large rich red-brown spot at its base, sur- 
rounded by the white; the scales of the brown area white like the rest, the skin 
only coloured. Belly whitish but throat with longitudinal dark lines. 
There is marked variation in the degree of carination of the head-shields; 
U. S. N. M. 26,931 has them almost smooth, yet we do not believe that this 
specimen represents a different species. The species seems to be one which is 
found almost wholly along the edges of woods on the trunks of trees and in 
shrubbery. It was observed frequently in March 1915 in the Valley of Luis 
Lazo (Barbour) though a few only were secured, a circumstance undoubtedly 
due to a necessarily hasty ending of a collecting trip owing to the illness of 
Mr. W. 8. Brooks. 
We recognized the species at once in life as one completely unknown to 
us and one which we have not seen elsewhere during many journeys throughout 
Cuba. We do not believe that this species is rare but it is probably one which 
is usually mistaken for A. sagrei. It should be looked for among any of the 
limestone ranges of Pinar del Rio Province.
