THREE NEW SPECIES OF ANOLIS FROM THE 

 SANTA ^LARTA MOUNTAINS, COLOMBIA, 



By Alex.vxder G. Ruthven. 



The collections of reptiles and amphibians from the Santa 

 Marta Mountains which the writer has had for study, one from 

 the Museum of Comparative Zoology, one made by the Bryant 

 Walker Expedition oi the University of Michigan (1913), 

 and one made for the University of Michigan in 1914 by M. A. 

 Carriker, contain 'specimens of three undescribed species of 

 Anoles which are described below. The identification of species 

 in this genus becomes more difiicult as the number of known 

 forms increases, so that in order to make sure of the identity 

 of these forms the writer has again had to solicit the aid of 

 Dr. George A. Boulenger. of the British Museum. Dr. Bou- 

 lenger has kindly examined specimens of the species described 

 below as An oils soli tori us and Aiiolis yaigc'i, and he has ex- 

 pressed the opinion that they belong to undescribed species.
