262 SPHAERODACTYLUS. 
Dimensions:— Total length 58 mm. 
Tip of snout to vent 32 mm. 
Vent to tip of tail 26 mm. 
Greatest width of head 5 mm. 
Tip of snout to ear 7.5 mm. 
Fore limb 8 mm. 
Hind limb 11 mm. 
Remarks:— This fine species is known from a single specimen in the Gundlach 
collection in Havana, from one taken by Mr. Barnum Brown at the Sierra de 
Jatibonico and the series of six which I took under stones in dense woods in the 
Sierra de San Juan de los Perros. Gundlach remarks upon three specimens taken 
at La Fermina near Bemba (now Jovellanos); two of these may have been sent 
to Peters and may still be in Berlin.

Type-locality:— Martinique? They almost certainly came from Guade- 
loupe. (Cf. Barbour, loc. cit.) 
Type:— Collected by M. Plée, a contributor to the Paris Museum, whose 
material has been the source of endless confusion. Plée evidently shipped his 
material from Martinique with apparently no warning that it had been collected 
from a host of different localities. 
Distribution:— Confined to Guadeloupe Island. 
Diagnosis:— Rather large, with large keeled imbricate dorsals about seven 
or eight equalling distance from tip of snout to centre of eye; a middorsal zone 
of much smaller scales, scales of top of snout and vertex very homogeneous in 
size; four scales about equal in size bordering rostral posteriorly; ventrals 
weakly keeled. 
Description:— M. C. Z. 10,633, one of a series of about one hundred collected 
by G. K. Noble in Guadeloupe, in 1914. 
Snout neither conspicuously long nor pointed; the eye about midway be- 
tween tip of snout and ear; rostral large, with median cleft; nostril between 
rostral, first supralabial, a small supranasal and two other small scales; supra-
