] BARBOUR — HERPETOLOGICAL NOTES 13 



are all large, with coloration more like the larger specimens 

 from Haiti, which I have seen in the Mann and Abbott collec- 

 tions. Thus there may be but two species in Jamaica, occiduus 

 and impressus, wholly distinct, and the latter with young and 

 adults (many of both in M. C. Z.) similar in type of coloration. 

 Additional specimens of occiduus from Jamaica are very 

 desirable, to determine whether this should or should not be 

 united with costatus. My present behef is that they will prove 

 distinct in coloration details, if not in squamation. 



This leaves the West Indian species distributed as follows : 



Celestus de la Sagra (Cocteau). Cuba. 



Celestus rugosus Cope. San Domingo. 



The type of this species is U. S. N. M., no. 10,260. Its status perhaps is 

 doubtful. 



Celustus costatus (Cope). Haiti. 



Possibly the same as occiduus. 



Celestus sepoides (Gray). Haiti and San Domingo. 



The genus Sauresia perhaps should be recognized. 



Celestus badiv^ Cope. Navassa Island. 



Types, U. S. N. M., nos. 25,817 and 25,818, W. J. Rasin collector. 

 Status doubtful {= costatus?). 



Celestus maculatus (Garman). Cayman Brae. 



Celestus occiduus (Shaw). Jamaica. 



Celestus impressus Cope. Jamaica. 



Celestus pleii (Dumi^ril and Bibron). Porto Rico. 



My hearty thanks are due Dr. Stejneger for permission to 

 examine specimens in his care, and to Mr. H. W. Fowler of the 

 Philadelphia Academy.
