Common on all four islands,(^under rocks and in houses ; a 

 few were under the loose bark of trees, j 



Phyllodactyhis pulchcr (Gray). — Curagao (Valley at Seroe 

 Domi; Landhuis Knip ; Schaarlo) : Aruba (Sero Canashito ; 

 Baranca Alto; near Malmok ; near Oranjestad; near Perkien- 

 tenboseh) ; Bonaire (between Tanka jMaraka and Porta Spailo ; 

 Santa Barljara ])eyond El Hato; Seroe Wassau) : Klciii-Bon- 

 airc. Recorded from Aruba by Cope, under the name P. ju- 

 licni, and from Curasao by Werner and Van Lidth de Jeude. 



Not infrequent on .Aruba, Bonaire and Klein-Bonaire, in the 

 better wooded places ; rare on Curacao ; found under rocks 

 and loose bark of dead trees. 



Boulenger (1887) has pointed out that P. nwrtini Van 

 Lidth de Jeude is synomymous with P. julicni Cope. Werner 

 has listed a Phyllodactylus from Curagao as P. pulchcr (type- 

 locality tropical America), and JNIiss Joan Proctor has pro- 

 nounced one of our specimens from Aruba identical with the 

 type of P. pulchcr. It is evident that the three names apply 

 to one species which occurs on Aruba, Curagao, Bonaire, and 

 Klein-Bonaire, and which should be known as Phyllodactylus 

 pulchcr (Gray).

 Knip; Landhuis Knip): Aruba (Campo West Punt; Baranca 

 Alto; Nooi Hundoe ; near Perkietenboseh) : Bonaire (between
