Anolis luteosignifer Garman. 

 Gasman, Bull. Essex inst., 1888, 20, p. 4. 



Boulenger, in the Zoological record, Reptiles, 1888, p. 9, questions the dis- 

 tinctness of this species from A. sagrei. Of the validity of the species there can 

 be no possible doubt. The two forms may be recognized at once. A. luteo- 

 signifer has a snout almost flat instead of swollen in the internasal area, and 

 hence a quite different profile from A. sagrei. The granular scales are not only 

 much more uniform in size than in A . sagrei, but they also average smaller in size 

 The types of A. luteosignifer (M. C. Z., No. 6,228) are in excellent preservation, 

 and have been compared with a well-preserved series of A. sagrei which I col- 

 lected near Santiago de Cuba. 



The species is known only from Cayman Brae; but Maynard's notes show 

 that this species, or some close ally, occurs also on Little Cayman. This is also 

 said to be the only lizard on Cayman Brae. 



Anolis vermiculatus Dumeril et Bibron. 

 Dumeril et Bibron, Erpet. gen., 1837, 4, p. 128. Boulenger, Cat. lizards Brit, mus., 1885, 2, p. 41. 



A large and striking lizard found only upon Cuba. Professor de la Torre 

 gave me a young example from the Sierra de Guane, in Pinar del Rio. Messrs. 

 Palmer and Riley found it at various localities in Pinar del Rio. Gundlach found 

 it only near the source of the Rio Taco Taco, and remarked that when pursued, 

 it took to the water. Thus it is evidently confined to the province of Pinar del 

 Rio. 



Anolis loysiana Cocteau. 



Cocteau, Comptes rend Acad. roy. sci., 1S36, 3, p. 226. Boulenger, Cat. lizards Brit, mus., 1885,2, 

 p. 42. 



One of the most peculiar species of the genus. It is confined to Cuba. 

 I was until this year entirely unable to find this extremely well-marked species 

 which Gundlach says has a wide distribution. He did not consider it rare 

 and remarked that he always found it ensconced in crevices on the surface of 

 the trunks of rough barked trees. I have recently secured a specimen from 

 San Diego de los Banos from the U. S. national museum. In February, 1913, 

 we collected a fine specimen in the village of Los Negros, Jurisdiction of 

 Jiguani, Oriente, Cuba. It was on the rock of a small cliff beside the stream 

 which has its source near the village.
