Anolis nubilus Garman. 

 Garman, Bull. Essex inst., 1887, 19, p. 32. 



A distinct species, so far known only from the island of Redonda, where 

 Richardson captured the types (M. C. Z., No. 6,181). 



Anolis leachii Dumeril et Bibron. 



Dumeril et Bibron, Erpet. gen., 1837, 4, p. 152. Boulenger, Cat. lizards Brit, mus., 1885, 2, p. 29 

 (part). 



Dumeril and Bibron did not know whence came the type of this species, 

 except that it was from the Antilles. The identity of this species with Anolis 

 ferreus Cope, from Guadeloupe, fixes its locality. Boulenger's concept of this 

 species embraced individuals from Guadeloupe, Dominica, Nevis, and he stated 

 that the lizards from St. Eustatius were the same. Giinther recognizes the 

 distinctness of the Dominica specimens as A. alliaceus Cope (q. v.); and un- 

 fortunately no material is available here from the other islands, so that the 

 status of Nevis and St. Eustatius specimens must remain in doubt. Boulenger 

 has also recorded the species from Antigua, but specimens from this island should 

 also be compared with those from Guadeloupe (Ann. mag. nat. hist., 1894, ser. 6, 

 14, p. 375). 



Anolis cepedii Merrem. 



Merrem, Syst. Amphib., 1820, p. 44. Garman, Bull. Essex inst., 1887, 19, p. 34. 



Garman identifies an enormous series of specimens from Martinique with 

 this poorly characterized species. There seems, however, to be no reason why 

 this should not be done; and the name thus takes precedence over A. alligator 

 Dumeril & Bibron, which has been used i>y Boulenger and many others. This 

 species seems to be confined to Martinique, and is closely related to A. trinitatis 

 Reinhardt & Liitken (q. v.). 



Anolis griseus Garman. 

 Garman, Bull. Essex inst., 1887, 19, p. 36. 



Although Boulenger (Proc. Zool. soc. London, 1891, p. 355) has considered 

 this species a synonym of Anolis richardii Dumeril and Bibron, nevertheless it is 

 safer to consider these species distinct. Boulenger had no topotypes of A. 

 richardii, which are said to have come from Tortola ; and until such specimens are 

 compared directly with this species from St. Vincent, an opinion as to its validity
