keeled scales. Scales of the sides granular ; of the Lclly 

 larger than those of the back, ovate, strongly keeled, lliud 

 limbs long, reaching considerably beyond the end of the 

 muzzle. Digital expansions moderate. Ear-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 tibia;. 



One specimen in the British Museum from Surinam, col- 

 lected by Mr. Ka])pler. 



Anolis genimosuSj 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 sm'face 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. Ear-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 fonvards 

 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 'occllated, and the chin variegated ; 

 ujjper surface of lindjs banded and spotted. 



This species presents a resemblance to the Draconura nitenSj 

 ■which differs from it in 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. 



NorojJS onca, sp. n.
