bordered on their outer side by a series of broad, dark brown spots 
which tend to become confluent; the same two outer pale stripes are 
bordered on their inner side by a poorly defined and much lighter 
series of similar dark spots; flanks, sides of head, sides and upper 
surfaces of the tail and appendages covered with a network of irregular 
brown patches; ventral surface straw-color; traces of the same color 
on the head-shields. 
Variation: — Females differ but little from the males. A specimen 
(M. C. Z. 7277) for example is slightly more bluish in tonality than the 
male described. On each side there is another pale stripe, more 
bluish in color, added to the three dorsal ones, and extending along 
the sides of the tail. The under surfaces of the body are light blue- 
green except for the appendages which are suffused with straw-color. 
Young specimens often vary considerably from the adult. A 
specimen (M. C. Z. 6920) has on each flank two black bands edged 
with white while a narrow white line runs the length of the back in 
the median region. These lines are all very clear cut. The under 
side of the chin and throat varies from smoky to blackish, while traces 
of the same color extend down over the abdomen. ™’ 
Remarks:— The description was made of a full grown male that _ 
measured seventy-seven millimeters from snout to vent. 
Habitat:— Widely distributed throughout the whole of Cuba. and 
the adjacent Isla de Pinos, but not very abundantly.
