The eggs are two or three in number, about 10 x 6 mm., uniformly 

 oval, the surface white and striate. They are frequently found under 

 the edges of logs or stones, or in debris about the base of banana plants. 



Anolis gundlachi Peters 



Forty-eight specimens of this species were collected at the following 

 localities: Adjuntas, iUbonito, Maricao, and El Yunque. This species 

 is very distinct from A. cristatellus, but is obviously directly related to 

 that species. Its range and habitat are much more restricted and 

 the amount of variation is accordingly smaller. In the present series 

 the height of the tail crest (at its highest point) reaches a maximum 

 of three times the diameter of the tail at the same point. 



Anolis stratulus Cope 



The following localities are represented by fifty-eight specimens of this 

 species in the collection: Aibonito, Coamo Springs, Ensenada, Maricao; 

 El Yunque, and Vieques and Culebra Islands. The distribution of 

 Anolis stratulus is closely similar to that of Anolis cristatellus, occurring 

 on Porto Eico, Vieques, Culebra, St. Thomas, Tortola, and Jost Van 

 Dyke. It is not found on Mona Island, and has not been recorded from 

 St. Croix, where it might logically be expected to occur. 



The series under examination shows only slight variation. The ma- 

 jority of specimens have the supraocular semicircles in contact. One 

 (No. 13282) has only a single row of scales between the occipital and 

 the semicircles. In recently hatched specimens the dorsal markings are 

 invariably indistinct. 



The examination of twenty-five stomachs indicates that ants form a 

 much larger proportion of the food than in A. cristatellus. The contents 

 are classified as follows : Empty, 3 ; unidentifiable insect remains, 4 ; ant 

 remains, 12; beetle remains, 5; spiders, 2; cockroach, 1; earwig, 1; flies, 

 1 ; lizard skin (doubtless its own), 1. 



Anolis evermanni Stejneger 



The following localities are represented by thirty-seven specimens in 

 the collection: Adjuntas, Aibonito, Maricao, and El Yunque. This 

 species is confined to Porto Eico and does not appear to be especially 

 related to the green Anolis of Hispaniola (A. chlorocyanus) . It appears 

 to be closely related to Anolis mayeri Fowler of the Virgin Islands. In 

 Porto Eico it is most abundant in the coffee belt, but reaches the coastal 

 plain at Eio Piedras and doubtless occasionally elsewhere.
