No. III.— REPORT ON THE BATRACHIANS AND REPTILES COLLECTED IN 



1887-'88. 



E. D. Cope. 



The contents of the following list are arranged in accordance with 

 the localities visited by the Albatross, and in the order in which they 

 were reached in a voyage from Washington to San Francisco via Cape 

 Horn. 



I. West Indies. 



1. Bufo agua Daud. 

 Santa Lucia. 



2. Anolis alligator D. and B. 

 Santa Lucia. 



3. Liophis ornatus Garman. 



Dromicus ornatus Garman, Proceeds. Amer. Philos. Society, 1887, p. 231 



This species is clearly a Liophis, and it resembles no other species of 

 the genus. The scuta of the only specimen are 195, 1-1, 88. The color 

 differs a good deal from the type as described by Garman, in the dark 

 color of the sides. This is not clearly distinguished as a band, and it is 

 interrupted by light vertical spots of irregular outlines. 



4. Bothrops caribbaeus Garman. 



Trigonocephalus caribbaus Garman, Proceeds. Amer. Philosoph. Proc, 1387, 

 p. 285. 



Santa Lucia, Nos. 15082-3. 



This species is nearly allied to the B. atrox, but diners very much in 

 the coloration. 



II. East Coast of Brazil. 



5. Taraguira torquata Wied. 

 Abrolhos Islands, Nos. 15107-19. 



III. ARGENTINE CONFEDERATION. 



6. Nannophryne variegata Gunther. 



Two specimens, 15123-4, from Mayne Harbor, Patagonia. Prof. L. 

 A. Lee.
