Color in alcohol uniform dull brownish-olive generally above. Lips pale or 

 whitish, labials obscurel}^ dusted with sooty dots. From gape of mouth back, 

 including ear, whitish band well defined and extending to groin. Immediately 

 below this a gray-brown narrow area all along to groin, fading out in pale 

 color of lower surface, which is largety whitish. Nearly all examples show 

 belly with very pale blue-green tinge. Dewlap yellow-ocher. Some examples 

 are more grajdsh than others and most show fine specks or dots of dusky on 

 the side above and the costal region beloT\^ pale lateral streak. The con- 

 trasted and bright markings noticed by Dr. Stejneger in hving examples are 

 not evident in these preserved specimens. Dark cross-blotches are, however, 

 seen obscurely, though in smaller examples they are far more noticeable. 

 Scales of the supraocular semicircles usually separated by one row of scales 

 at least, often two rows present, and sometimes partly in contact. 



Besides the above, 6 examples were obtained from Utuado. These often 

 show but a single row of scales separating the supraocular semicircles. 



Anolis cristatellus Dumeril and Bibroit. Figure 5. 



A very large series, represented by nearly 300 specimens from various local- 

 ities. A large series from Guanica, Porto Rico, shows usually the supraocular 

 semicircles in contact, though the size and disposition of the plates present 

 great irregularit3^ In color some are very finely vermiculated with darker 

 lines. Often the upper surfaces of the limbs present an obscurely barred
