1885, 2, p. 286) has bracketed the locality. This lizard is also Central 

 American. 



Anolis equestris Merrem. Duerden included this species in the list of 

 Jamaican lizards already ruentioned. He doubtless followed Boulenger 

 (loc. cit., 1885, 2, p. 21), where the liabitat is given as "Cuba, Jamaica." 

 As we know now, the species is confined to Cuba. 



Anolis richardii Gray. This si)ecies has been reported from Jamaica 

 on the basis of a specimen in the British Museum taken by J. Winter- 

 bottom, Esq., and which served Gray as the type of his A. stenodactylus, 

 which is, according to Boulenger, synonymous with A. richardii. Duerden 

 in the " Gleaner " records this species No. 12 in his list, but remarked that 

 it was ver}'' rare, for no specimen had ever been received at the Institute 

 of Jamaica. The supposed Jamaican example was without doubt taken 

 in the Lesser Antilles, to which region the species is confined. A species 

 common to, say, both Jamaica and Dominica would be absolutely foreign 

 to what we know of the distribution of species whose ranges are accu- 

 rately known and which have not been introduced artificially. 



Eleutherodadyhis leiifus (Cope). Though Cope himself has recorded 

 this lesser Antillean species from Jamaica, there seems to be no reason 

 whatever to suppose that it really occurs there. It was probably U. 

 luteolus (Gosse) wrongly identified. 



Bufo marinus (Linne). 



Rana marina Linne, Syst. Nat., Ed. 10, 1758, 1, p. 211. 

 This species, introduced in Jamaica as in so many other West Indian Islands, 

 is now widespread. There are examples in the collections at hand from Kingston, 

 Mandeville, and Port Antonio. Gosse (Nat. Sojourn in Jamaica, 1851, p. 430) 

 states that the introduction took place from Barbadoes in 1844. 



Eleutherodactylus luteolus (Gosse).

This seems to be the most abundant native amphibian. Gosse has given an ex- 

 cellent figure for tlie hght brown color phase, which is, I think, rather less com- 

 mon than a mottled slate-colored phase in which there is a distinct light vertebral 

 line which bifurcates, sending a branch along the hinder side of the tliighs. This 

 species may be easily separated from E jamaiceiisis, sp. nov. by the very small 

 digital discs and by this vertebral line. The development of this frog is of inter- 

 est. The eggs from thirty to thirty-five in number are laid in depressions in damp 

 ground under stones or logs. Mr. Wight has also found these nests and writes :
