BARBOUR AND NOBLE: LIZARDS OF THE GENUS AMEIVA. 447 
Remarks:— The description was made of an adult male that meas- 
ured one hundred and twenty-two millimeters from snout to vent. 
The confusion of the localities of Plee’s specimens has already been 
discussed by Stejneger (Herpetology of Porto Rico. Rept. U.S. N.M. 
for 1902, 1904, p. 622-623) and by Barbour (Recent notes regarding 
West Indian reptiles and amphibians. Proc. Biol. soc. Wash., March 
12, 1915, 23, p. 73). A. plew, like so many other of Plee’s species, 
was described as coming from Martinique. Since, however, A. anali- 
fera and A. plew are the same it is reasonable to assume that A. plewi 
originally came from St. Bartholomew where Plee probably touched 
on his way to Martinique. This leaves the Martinique Ameiva 
unknown, as indeed it will probably remain, because the introduced 
mongoose has for a long time been common there and every year does 
increasing harm to the fauna. 
Habitat:— Confined to the closely associated islands of St. Martin 
and St. Bartholomew.

Description:— Adult male; Type M. C. Z. 6141; Anguilla Island; 
1880; F. Lagois. 
Similar to A. pleii in scutation from which it may be distinguished 
by the following characters:— median band of gular scales made up 
of larger and more irregularly arranged granules than those of A. plei?; 
1An old specimen, and not improbably one of the types of the species, doubtless 
received from the Paris museum. whence came all the early material in the M. C. Z. 
labeled ‘‘Martinique.’’
