Anolis solitarius, new species. 



Diagnosis: Tai] subcylindrical. Dorsal scales very small, 

 juxtaposed, smooth, a little larger than the granular laterals. 

 Digital lamellae well developed. Occipital scale enlarged, much 

 larger than ear. Scales of supraorbital semicircles enlarged, in 

 contact in interocular region. Snout a little flattened and pro- 

 duced. Tibia as long or nearly as long as the distance between 

 the end of the snout and the middle of the orbit. Ventrals 

 rather small, rounded, smooth, imbricate. 



Habitat : Santa Marta Mountains, Colombia. 



Type Specimen : Cat. No. 48303, Museum of Zoology, 

 University of Michigan ; San Lorenzo, elevation of 5,ooo%feet, 

 Santa Marta Mountains, Colombia ; June 9, 1913 ; F. M. Gaige, 

 collector. 



Description of Type Specimen : Female. Head long and 

 narrow, the length to the posterior margin of the ear 1.86 times 

 the width, the width slightly less than the length of the tibia, 

 equal to the length of the snout, the length of the tibia a little 

 less than the distance between end of snout and middle of orbit ; 

 frontal ridges feebly developed ; upper head scales smooth ; 

 supraorbital semicircles enlarged, separated by two rows of 

 scales, except at one point where they are in contact ; about six 

 enlarged and slightly rugose supraoculars ; occipital scale en- 

 larged, 2.5 times the greatest diameter of ear ; 7 and 8 upper 

 labials to below the middle of orbit ; 4 rows of loreal scales. 

 Ear opening small. Gular appendage indicated. Tail sub- 

 cylindrical, constituting about 65% of the total length. Dorsal 

 scales very small, juxtaposed, smooth, a little larger than the 

 granular laterals ; ventral scales rather s'mall, rounded, smooth, 

 imbricate. The hind limb reaches to the front of the shoulder 

 when the limb is extended along the side ; sixteen lamellae under 

 the second and third phalanges of the fourth toe. Sides of body
