color, washed on the sides with bluish; outer ventrals, edges of the 
lateral spots often reticulated or marked with black. 
Variation:— A female (same data as above) differs from the male 
in being more brightly colored. The dark lateral bands are almost 
black. On the back between these two bands there is a regular longi- 
tudinal series of two rows of dark spots. The dark bands on the 
sides are bordered by a series of pale spots. The flanks below the 
bands have each one or two more rows of similar spots. The outer 
ventrals are heavily marked with brown instead of black. A young 
male (same data as above) 1s similar to the adult female except that 
the region below the dark bands is considerably darker. : 
Remarks:— The description was taken from an adult male that 
measured one hundred and twenty-two millimeters from snout to vent. 
Habitat:— Apparently confined to St. Vincent and Grenada, though: 
it is probable that it also occurs in some of the Grenadines. In spite 
of the mongoose this species which was once almost exterminated 
seems now to be on the increase,— a peculiar fact due probably to the 
lizards’ change of habits. Dr. Allen noticed this in Grenada and the 
same thing has been reported in Jamaica as happening with Amewa 
dorsalis.

Dr. Stejneger has been kind enough to supplement photographs of : 
the type of this species, with the following excellent description. | 
‘“‘Rostral forming an acute angle behind; nostril between two nasals; 
anterior pair of nasals broadly in contact behind rostral; frontonasal 
longer than wide, in contact with nasals, loreal, and prefrontals; 
prefrontals broadly in contact; frontal pentagonal, in contact with 
first and second supraoculars, well separated from third; a pair of 
frontoparietals in contact with second and third supraoculars ante- 
riorly; five occipitals in a transverse row, much longer than wide,
