JUNE 4, 1923 COCHRAN: NEW ANOLIS FROM HAITI 225 
Graminastrum macusaniense Krause, Beihefte Bot. Centralbl. 32: 348. 1914. 
This name is based on Vilfa macusaniensis Steudel. The generic name 
used had not previously been published. There is no generic description. 
In the U. 8. National Herbarium there are two specimens, one a part of 
the type of D. minimum (Weberbauer 5451) kindly sent by Dr. Pilger, the 
other a specimen of Lechler’s 1836, contributed from the Vienna Herbarium 
by Dr. Zahlbruckner. 
ZOOLOGY.—A new Anolis from Haiti. Doris M. Cocuran, U. 8. 
National Museum. (Communicated by Dr. L. STEINEGER.) 
In a collection of reptiles made in Haiti by the late J. B. Henderson 
and Dr. Paul Bartsch during their expedition of 1917, there is a 
specimen of a very handsome Anolis, which seems to represent a species 
as yet undescribed. 
Anolis hendersoni, new species 
Diagnosis.—Dorsal scales granular, the 4 or 5 median rows slightly en- 
larged; length of tibia much less than distance between tip of snout and ear; 
ventrals smooth; tail slightly compressed, nearly three times the length 
of head and body. 
Type.—Adult male, U. S. N. M. No. 59210; Petionville, Haiti; J. B. 
Henderson and Dr. Paul Bartsch, collectors; April 1, 1917. 
Description.—Head elongate, its greatest width contained twice in dis- 
tance from ear to tip of snout; nostrils lateral, their distance from tip of 
snout equalling one-sixteenth of head-length; top of head with two very 
low, diverging frontal ridges, reaching nearly to nostrils and enclosing an 
elongate depression; head-scales without keels, except the 7 or 8 enlarged 
supraoculars, which have blunt keels; rostral rather large, its superior 
border curved; 6 or 7 narrow scales in a row between nostrils; supraorbital 
semicircles composed of 5 large scales diminishing in size posteriorly, separated 
from each other in the median line by a single row of small scales, and from 
supraoculars by one row of very small scales; occipital considerably smaller 
than ear-opening, separated from supraorbital semicircles by about 4 rows 
of scales; 6 elongate scales on canthus rostralis; superciliary ridge consisting 
of one extremely long shield and some granules; loreal rows 6 or 7; scales of 
suborbital semicircles bluntly keeled, broadly in contact with supralabials; 
6 supralabials to a point below center of eye; 7 lower labials; one pair of 
mental shields, wider than the rostral; temporal granules about the size of 
laterals; a well-marked series of small scales forming the supratemporal line; 
a distinct dermal fold from occiput to tail, covered by 4 or 5 rows of enlarged 
granular scales, with the median row keeled; the remaining dorsal scales 
granular; the laterals extremely minute; granules on nuchal region between 
occiput and shoulders coarse, nearly as large as the largest dorsals; ventral 
scales moderately large, flat, transversely oblong or pentagonal; scales on 
throat and breast smaller and slightly keeled; fore legs with small keeled 
scales above; anterior scales of femur enlarged, keeled, gradually diminishing 
posteriorly and below; scales covering hands and feet above multicarinate; 
digital expansion wide, 35 lamellae under fourth toe and 17 under fourth 
finger; tail long, very slightly compressed, without verticils or serrated edge;
