means abundant or easily obtained by the poor inhabitants of one 
of Great Britain’s most delightful but poverty-stricken colonies. 
Iguanas are often brought from Andros to market in Nassau, upon 
New Providence Island. One of the authors has seen the creatures 
for sale there upon several occasions. We have concluded therefore 
that a magnificent adult male baeolopha in the Academy of Natural 
Sciences of Philadelphia (Reptile Coll. 8120) probably represents 
such a specimen, although it is said to have been collected by a Mr. 
Wilson on New Providence in 1861. Our belief is that the Iguanas 
disappeared from New Providence long before this date. For the 
benefit of the herpetologists we should also record that Salt Cay, near 
Hog Island, opposite the town of Nassau, has been stocked with 
Iguanas brought from Andros Island. Mr. Chamberlain, the owner 
of Salt Cay is reported to have stated that they have thriven and 
appear to have become well established in their new home. 
Of some of the other species of the genus we know even less than of 
these we have referred to. Cyclura collet has almost certainly com- 
pletely disappeared upon the mainland of Jamaica and it was only by 
the greatest stroke of good fortune that Mr. Arthur Perrin of Cam- 
bridge who kindly volunteered to make a special excursion for the 
purpose, was able to secure the specimen, which we describe, from 
Goat Island not far from Old Harbor off southern Jamaica. Dr. 
A. G. Mayer tells us that an Iguana was secured a few years ago on 
one of the cays near Montego Bay, and that he believes a few still 
exist there. Of the species on Navassa, Haiti, and Mona we know 
practically nothing. Mr. W. M. Mann who spent some months in 
Haiti, and who made an excellent collection of reptiles there in 1913 
was unable to learn anything of Iguanas and secured none. Mr. 
Halter from the American Museum, visited Santo Domingo in 1915 
and could Jearn nothing of existing Iguanas. Of the Cyclura on 
Mona Island we know only that Stejneger quotes Bowdish as say- 
ing that he got his specimens in 1901, among the rocks. 
The journeys which the senior author has made on a number of 
occasions permit us to speak with more authority regarding Cuba. 
Gundlach in 1880 wrote “Esta especie vive en varios cayos y en las 
costas de la isla de Cuba y de la isla de Pinos; pero es hoy una 
especie rara, aunque antiguamente fuese comun y llevada a los merca- 
dos, siendo su carne estimada como excelente manjar.” He goes on to 
say that it usually lives in burrows in the sand dunes or in sandy places 
about the coasts where it is easily dug out. Now the Cuban Iguana’ 
has with increasing civilization become still more rare and restricted
