Tnlike Mona, Desecheo has no coastal strip. The cliffs. howe\-c'i-. are not as precipitous 

 as on Mona. They are, for the most part. co%erecl with trees or a xerophytic thicket. 



Where a more or less definite type locality for a species is known, it 

 usually has been indicated by the sign f before the locality, unless it is 

 given by the context. As far as possible, the entire range is given in 

 every case, so that when only one locality is mentioned it means that the 

 author knows of no other records, Init frequently an inclusive term is 

 used, such as ''United States," when a number of more definite localities 

 are known.
