REPTILIA. 267 



Sphaerodactylus corticolus Garman. 



Garman, Bull. Essex inst., 1888, 20, p. 111. Stejneger, The Bahama Islands, 1905, p. 331. Rosen, 

 Bunds univ. arsskrift, 1911, 7, no. 5, p. 27. 



The type locality is Rum Cay (Types M. C. Z., No. 6,219). It occurs also 

 on Watlings Island. It has not been reported from any other locality. 



Though closely related to both S. notatus and S. argus with their allies, it is 

 apparently a species easily distinguishable. 



Sphaerodactylus goniorhynchus Cope.

I can add nothing to my previous remarks on this species (loc. tit.). It is 

 confined to Jamaica. It seems to be very distinct, and has a type of coloration 

 which is quite unique in a genus where there is very remarkable variation along 

 certain more or less definite fines among the different species and individuals 

 within a species. 



Sphaerodactylus gilvitorques Cope. 



Cope, Proc. Acad. nat. sci. Phila., 1861, p. 500. Boulenger, Cat. lizards Brit, mus., 1885, 1, p. 227. 

 Barbour, Bull. M. C. Z., 1910, 52, p. 291. 



The type said by Cope to be in the Museum of the Academy of natural 

 sciences at Philadelphia is from Jamaica, to which island the species is confined. 



This lizard is really not uncommon, although, on account of its burrowing 

 habits, it is seldom seen; it has always been rare in collections of Jamaican rep- 

 tiles. I found many specimens in various parts of the island, in leafy mould 

 under logs and stones, especially while collecting Peripatus on the hills about 



Bath. 



Sphaerodactylus copii Steindachner. 



Steindachner, Voy. Novara. Rept. 1869, p. 18, pi. 1, fig. 5. Boulenger, Cat. lizards, Brit, mus., 

 1885, 1, p. 225. Gunther, Ann. mag. nat. hist., 1888, ser. 6, 2, p. 363. 



The type specimen was said to have come from South America, with no more 

 definite clue to its origin. It has now been found on Dominica, if Gunther's 

 identification is correct, and this may be the true type locality; at any rate, it 

 does not seem to have been reported definitely from anywhere else. 



Sphaerodactylus microlepis Reinhardt & Butken. 



Reinhardt & Butken, Vid. Meddel. nat. foren Kjobenh. for 1862, 1863, p. 278. Boulenger, Cat. 

 lizards Brit, mus., 1885, 1, p. 224. Boulenger, Proc. Zool. soc. Bondon, 1891, p. 351. 



Boulenger points out how this species differs from its ally, S. copii. He 

 remarks that it is one of the most widely distributed West Indian member of the
