REPTILIA. 301 



specimens from Matanzas and Havana, but most unfortunately none from San 

 Domingo. I am unable to make comparison of Cuban and San Domingan 

 examples, which Boulenger groups together. It is confined to these two islands, 

 if the San Domingan records are not based on the young of L. personatus, which 

 look quite similar to this species. 



In 1912 I found the species much more widespread than I had imagined and 

 specimens were secured from Havana, several localities in the Province of Pinar 

 del Rio, about Cienfuegos, near Madruga, Bayamo, Guantanamo and elsewhere. 

 The species was observed almost everywhere except in the immediate vicinity 

 of the seacoast where its place is taken by L. carinatus. Its most characteristic 

 habitat is perhaps in the guarda rayas of the cane fields.

This seems to be a rare species confined to eastern Cuba. It was not repre- 

 sented in the collection until Capt. Wirt Robinson presented two specimens 

 taken by him near Santiago after the American occupation. 



Cope (Proc. U. S. nat. mus., 1887, 10, p. 438) says, "Boulenger, in the Vol. 

 II of the Catalogue of the lizards in the British Museum, regards L. raviceps as 

 the same as L. macropus. They are, however, different species, belonging to 

 different sections of the genus." Boulenger did not place L. raviceps as a syno- 

 nym of L. macropus, but of L. vittatus, a course apparently justified. 



Leiocephalus schreibersii (Gravenhorst).

A very well-marked species known from Haiti and Great Inagua. There 

 are specimens in the Museum from both localities. Mann's recent series adds 

 seven from Manneville, Haiti.

The typical series, about twenty examples collected near Jeremie, Haiti, 

 by Dr. Weinland (M. C. Z., No. 3,598), is still well preserved. Other specimens 

 have come from Puerto Plata, San Domingo, collected by Mr. M. A. Frazar, 

 and from Furcy, Haiti, collected by Mr. W. M. Mann. Known only from this 

 island.
