Cope] l""* [July 16, 



parietal bones are more extensively ossified than in most species of 

 Hyla, and constitute an approach to Scytopis,* Cope. The species is the 

 first true Hyla discovered in the West Indian subregion. 



The species brought by this naturalist from the same locality are : — 



Dromicus parvifrons, Cope. 



Uromacer catesbyii, D. B. 



Amphisbaena innocens, Weinl. 



Anolis semilineatus, Cope. 



Anolis coelestinus, Cope. 



Anolis distichus, Cope. A. dominicensis Llitk. is a variety of this'spe- 

 cies.) 



Anolis cybotes, Cope. A. vilsei Reinht. and Liitk. 



Trachycephalus marmoratus, D. B. vur. 



Hyla pulchrilineata, Cope. 



Lithodytes ricordii, Dum. Bibr. 



It may be mentioned in this connection that a valuable catalogue of 

 "West Indian Reptiles and Batrachia was issued by Reinhardt and Ltitken 

 in 1863 in the Natiu-alist. Foren. Vidensk. Meddel. Kjobenhavn. A few 

 doubles emplois occur in its pages, as follows. Their Anolis trinilatis I 

 think is a variety of A. alligator, D. B. Numerous specimens are in 

 Mus. Smithsonian. AmpMshaena antillensis, Rhdt. and Llitk. is Diphalus 

 fene stratus, Cope. LiopMs Andreae, R. & L., is the young of Dro- 

 micus fugitivus, Donnd. Hylodes riseii, R. & L., is Lithodytes 

 1 e n t u s, Cope, and H. antillensis is H. a u r i c u 1 a t u s , Cope. Though 

 this paper of the Danish naturalists was read one month before that of 

 the writer, in which these Hylodes were described, it was evidently pub- 

 lished much later, as they quote in it a paper of the writer's, which was 

 not issued till 1863. 



Among West Indian Anoles it is to be added, that the A. grahami Gray 

 is estabhshed on a young A. iodurus, and that A. porcatus is A. princi- 

 palis; also that A. stenodactylus is not a valid species. 



Hyla polytaenia, Cope. 



Hyla rubicuiidula, "Reinhdt. & Liitk." Giinther P. Z. Sod. Lond., 

 1868, 489, Tab. X, fig. 8, nee. Reinh. et Llitk. 



Fingers one-third palmate ; toes only palmate to the extremity of the 

 basal phalange of the longest toe. No dermal margins on body or limbs. 

 Tongue entirely attached behind. Vomerine teeth in short transverse 

 fasciculi entirely behind the line of the posterior margin of the inner nares. 

 Choanae smaller than nares. Tympanum less than one-fourth eye. 

 Skin above everywhere smooth. Digital dilations moderate ; eye large ; 

 head Avide ; muzzle short ; loveal region concave. 



* Four species of this genus are enumerated In my genera of Arcifera (Journ. Acad- 1S66) but 

 were not named. They are S. venulosus (llyla Daudin); S. acuminata (Hyla Cope); S. allenii 

 Cope and S. ruber (Hyla Daudin).
