 closely resembles, by the greater size of the two verte- 

 bral rows.

These notes are taken from forty-six specimens secured 

 on St. Kitts. The species is usually confounded with sev- 

 eral others to which it is somewhat closely allied. It is 

 distinguished by the size of its granules, the four to five 

 loreal series, the broad smooth plates in front of the thigh, 

 the meeting of the opposite supraorbital series on the 

 forehead, in seven specimens of each eight, and by the 

 coloration. 



The color is blue or green, grayish to broAvnish ; white 

 beneath. Posteriorly, on the flanks and on the tail, usually 

 there are present a number of small spots of black, irregu- 

 larly scattered but often forming a rounded bunch in front 

 of the thiffh on the side ot the abdomen. Above the 

 axilla there is most often a rounded black spot. Rarely 

 it is continued forward as a band to the angle of the mouth. 

 From the upper labials there is a light band crossing the 

 upper half of the ear to end on the flank above the shoulder.
