with the loreal; three posterior supraoculars separated from the 
supraciliaries by a single row of granules; last supraocular separated 
from the outer occipitals by a double row of small scales; five large 
supralabials; five large infralabials; between infralabials and chin- 
shields a wedge of three or four small scales extending only to the 
third infralabial; chin and throat covered with granules of slightly 
varying size, no distinct grouping of the larger granules; on the area 
between the two throat folds several rows of large hexagonal scales; 
under side of the body with eight longitudinal rows of scales (ten 
including the large granules terminal on each cross row) and thirty- 
five transverse rows; preanal plates, a pair of large marginal ones and 
a median pair of about the same size; on the lower arm a single, 
partly double row of antebrachials breaking up into granules just 
before reaching the elbow joint; on the upper arm a single row of 
much narrower brachials; on the posterior side near the elbow joint 
a double row of postbrachials scarcely differentiated from the granules 
of the arm; under side of the thigh covered with three rows (four 
proximally) of hexagonal plates of which the outer series is larger than 
the others; twelve femoral pores; on the under side of the tibia two 
rows of plates, the outer row greatly enlarged; upper side of the 
wrist with an irregular, part regular, series of transverse plates; outer 
toe extending a little further than the inner; tail covered with smooth, 
oblique scales; about thirty scales in the fifteenth ring from the base. 
Coloration: — General tonality milky, slightly olive on the head, 
grayer on the tail; three dark brown or blackish bands running the 
length of the body but not extending on the tail; the median dark 
band arises in the occipital region and extends not so far as the thigh; 
the two lateral dark bands arise just before the eye and extend back- 
ward covering nearly all the flanks; ventral surface including the lower 
part of the flanks whitish tinged with blue; under surface of the tail, 
and the gulars tinged with greenish. 
Variation: — The female and young differ from the adult males 
in being generally brighter, that is in being more black and white. 
Remarks:— The description was made of an adult male that meas- 
ured sixty-six millimeters from snout to vent. 
Habitat:— Confined to Great Inagua in the southern Bahamas.
