334 BATRACHIANS AND LAND KEPTILES 



a color in life different from red." Prom my own personal experience with 

 the Anoles in Porto Eico I am inclined to attach great weight to the color of 

 the dewlap, and I found it constant even in very closely allied species. I shall 

 therefore follow Garman in calling the northern Bahama specimens A. ordina- 

 tus, those from Cuba A. sagrei and those from Turks Islands Anolis sp. ? 



Anolis ledcoph^us Garman. 

 Anolis leucopliwus Garman, 1888, Bull. Essex Inst., vol. xx, p. 9. 



Cope's A. dnnamomeus is six years younger than A. leucophceus of Gar- 

 man, who informs me of their identity. He writes that he is in doubt whether 

 A. moorei Cope is really distinct. 



Ctcluka cyclura (Cuvier). 

 Iguana cyclura Cuvier, Regne Anlm., 2nd ed., li, p. 45. (?). 



No uncertainty exists concerning the status and relationships of the spe- 

 cies Cyclura bmolopha Cope, G. carinata Harlan, and C. rileyi Stejneger, re- 

 spectively from Andros, Turks Islands and Watlings; they are easily distin- 

 guished inter se and from the species inhabiting the adjoining larger Antilles 

 Cope's reference of an iguana from Cat Island to the typical species Cyclura 

 cyclura, or C. nubila as he calls it," is therefore highly dubious, but as the 

 specimen upon which the record is made appears to be lost,"^ I am at present 

 unable to settle the question. 



Leiocephalus caeinatus Gray. 

 Leiocephalus carinatus Gray, 1827, Phil. Mag., p. 208. 



When describing L. virescens, the only other Bahama specimens of this 

 group accessible to me were a few without definite locality collected by Bryant. 

 Since then I have examined true L. carinatus from Andros, collected by 

 Mr. Eiley during the Expedition of the Geographical Society of Baltimore, and 

 a specimen from Cat Island. It follows that L. virescens is a local form from 



" Mr. Riley in his field notes speaks of a " black " Anolis " with an orange- 

 colored throat frequenting old fences and bushes along the road and the more 

 open woods." This is probably A. ordinatus Cope. 



" Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., x, 1887, p. 437. 



" In the record book of the Division of Reptiles, U. S. Nat. Mus., a specimen 

 from Cat Island is entered under No. 14576 as Cyclura nubila. The specimen so 

 tagged is not a Cyclura, however, but Leiocephalus carinatus Gray.
