keeled scales. Scales of the sides granular; of the belly 
larger than those of the back, ovate, strongly keeled. Hind 
limbs long, reaching considerably beyond the end of the 
muzzle. Digital expansions moderate. Har-opening small, 
round, ‘Tail broad at the base, somewhat compressed, rounded 
above. Goitre very small. 
Colour golden brown, freckled above with dark brown; a 
dark patch on the muzzle and a transverse orbital stripe ; two 
brown lines across the back before the root of the tail, and 
some oblique ones on the tibie. 
One specimen in the British Museum from Surinam, col- 
lected by Mr. Kappler. 
Anolis gemmosus, sp. n. 
Elongate, slender. Head narrow, of about the same length 
as the tibia. Hind limb reaching to end of snout. ‘Tail very 
long and tapering, three times the length of the head and body. 
Upper surface of the head entirely covered by polygonal rugose 
scales, very numerous and closely set, small on the muzzle and 
prefrontal regions, where they converge to the central con- 
cavity, which is feebly and gradually formed; larger, but 
of similar character, on the vertical and occipital portions, 
there being no conspicuous ridges on any part of the head; 
occipital scale as small as the others. Har-opening small, 
vertical. Upper surface of body, including the sides, uni- 
formly covered by minute convex granules; ventral surface 
with equally uniform minute polygonal or rounded flat scales : 
the tail with minute keeled scales. Toes and claws slender, 
the expansions well developed. 
Colours prettily variegated. Ground-colour above appa- 
rently a lustrous brown, with blue and violet reflections; a 
series of glittering spots like arrow-heads pointing forwards 
along median line of back, and numerous ring-like ocelli on 
the sides, the sides of the belly and lower surface of the 
limbs being regularly focellated, and the chin variegated ; 
upper surface of limbs banded and spotted. 
This species presents aresemblance to the Draconura nitens, 
which differs from it im the size and proportions of the head, 
and in the strongly keeled scales of the muzzle, size of the 
occipital, and other points. 
One specimen in the British Museum, the habitat of which 
is not indicated. 
Norops onca, sp. n. 
Head somewhat longer than tibia. Scales of muzzle convex 
and multicarinate, numerous; those of the supraorbital series
