Among the authors listed in the Bibliography, are some ones 

 who have contributed in a greater manner than others. They are, 

 in an alphabetical order, Thomas Barbour, Mario S. Buide, 

 Georgina Espinosa Lopez, Alberto Estrada, Orlando H. Garrido, 

 Lourdes Rodriguez Schettino and Albert Schwartz. 



As with any checklist from a area with a diverse fauna, the 

 list is quickly out of date because some species are in editorial 

 process, and others remain to be discovered, this list 

 constitutes a basic guide, and the bibliography offers an 

 introductory source for the herpetologists interested in Cuban 

 iguanids . 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



Many people has contributed to my knowledge of the Cuban 

 iguanids, specially Mario S. Buide and Orlando H. Garrido from 

 who I received the first papers about this interesting group. 



Since I started to compile and arrange the literature 

 presented here, I have relied on the valuable cooperation of 

 Alcides Sampedro and the support of Oscar Cejudo and Eduardo 

 Alvarez of the library of the Institute of Zoology and Mercedes 

 Vega of the library of the Institute of Ecology and Systematics, 

 both of the Academy of Sciences of Cuba. 



The manuscript has been reviewed by Alcides Sampedro, Alberto 

 Coy, Mercedes Martinez, Ada Chamizo, Julio Novo, Luis Moreno, 

 Laredo Gonzalez, Hiram Gonzalez, Esteban Godinez, and Luis de 

 Armas, although the taxonomic arrangement and any error or 

 involuntary omission are my responsibility. 



I thank all of the above for their help and collaboration.
