This very handsome species differs from E. heterolepis in. having 

 the scales on the sides of the body much smaller and scarcely inter- 

 mixed with larger ones, also in the smooth or very feebly keeled 

 scales of the lower surface, in which, amongst other points, it differs 

 also from E. microlepis. 



Two specimens, male and female, nearly equal in size, from the 

 localities Pallatauga and Canelos. 



17. Anolis (Draconura) chrysolepis.

Anolis nummifer, O'S. Ann. N. H. ser. 4, xv. p. 278. 



Two specimens from Canelos, and one from Pallatanga, which show 

 the characteristic coloration figured by Guichenot. 



It is as well to state with regard to this species that the single 

 specimen referred to it by Dr. Gray in his Catalogue is a Nerops au- 

 ratus, and that it is consequently only rather recently that we have in 

 the British Museum possessed specimens correctly (as I believe) re- 

 ferred to this species. 



In regard to the species which I have described as Anolis num- 

 mifer (Ann. N. H. ser. 4, xv. p. 278), I now entertain considerable 

 doubts whether it is more than a variety of this same long-estab- 

 lished A. chrysolepis, two distinct systems of coloration in which 

 have been pointed out by M. Bocourt. Putting the entire series of 

 specimens together, I now find great variation of colour, but no 

 substantial differences but what are either sexual or within the 

 possible limits of a species. They all have the narrower toes 

 characteristic of Draconura. Another specimen, a female, which I 

 now therefore refer to A. chrysolepis, was collected by Mr. Buckley 

 at Canelos. 



N.B. I may state, with reference to Prof. Cope's remarks on my 

 identification of his A. vittigerus with A. biporcatus, that a renewed 

 examination on the present occasion of the specimens named by him 

 in the British Museum only confirms me in my view, and that M. 

 Bonlenger, to whom I have shown them, also agrees with me. 



A variety, which must be the A. bivittatus. Hallow., with lateral 

 longitudinal stripes, is well represented in this series.
