Fullest credit is due these two investigators for this most 

 enlightening observation, and we can only hope for a full 

 report upon the details of their work in the future. 



I can only offer as a partial excuse for my lack of percep- 

 tion in this matter the fact that year after year I visited Cuba 

 during the same months. My all-year-around visits were 

 during the war, when I was otherwise occupied than with 

 collecting animals. I found none of the intermediate stages 

 during the ten or twelve spring visits I have made to the island. 

 They were to be found at other seasons. 



Anolis h'uiiaculahis Sparrman 



This lizard from St. Kustatius was the first of this group 

 of large species with smooth ventral scales to receive a name. 

 Peters found it common on St. Eustatius and secured a good 

 series. The dewlap in these fresh specimens is dull greyish 

 white, and as in the related forms it is very feebly developed. 



I at first thought that the series from St. Kitts and Nevis 

 represented distinct species. I am, however, now convinced 

 that both these islands, along with St. Eustatius, are popu- 

 lated by true Anolis himacidatns, as indicated in my West 

 Indian Herpetology (Mem. M. C. Z., 44, 1914, p. 279), where 

 I gave reasons for following Carman. At the present time, 

 however, judging from Peters" large series, individuals from' 

 Nevis average very much smaller than those from the other 

 islands. The following species, each represented by several 

 specimens, well merit specific recognition.
