Leimadophis parvifrons (Cope). 

 Cope, Proc. Acad. nat. sci. Phila., 1862, p. 79. Boulenger, Cat. snakes Brit, mus., 1894, 2, p. 141. 



This species is confined to Haiti. The types are No. 3,602, M. C. Z. It was 

 among the collection made by Mr. A. H. Verrill at Santiago de la Vega, San 

 Domingo, and in Mr. W. M. Mann's collection there are many specimens from 

 Diquini, St. Marc, Cape Haitien, Manneville, and Grand Riviere, Haiti. 



Leimadophis cursor (Lacepede). 



Lacepede, Hist. nat. quad. ovip. et serpens, 1789, 2, p. 96, 281, pi. 14. Boulenger, Cat. snakes Brit. 

 mus., 1894, 2, p. 139 (part). 



Apparently common upon Martinique, whence Garman recorded many 

 specimens (Proc. Amer. philos. soc, 1887, 24, p. 280). Boulenger includes two 

 specimens from Guadeloupe, which quite likely represent a different race. 



Leimadophis boulengeri, nom. nov. 



This is the Dromicus ornatus of Garman (Proc. Amer. philos. soc, 1887, 24, 

 p. 281). His specific name is apparently preoccupied by Coluber ornatus Shaw 

 (Zool., 1802, 3, p. 477), which evidently belongs to this genus. 



The new name is given in honor of Dr. G. A. Boulenger, of the British mu- 

 seum, to whom I owe a vast deal for kindly hospitality and assistance. 



This St. Lucia species is easily distinguishable from that of Martinique 

 (A. cursor) by having fewer pairs of subcaudal scales, 85-91 as against 101-107. 

 The types are No. 6,135, 6,136, 6,137, M. C. Z. 



Leimadophis stahli Stejnegek. 

 Stejneger, Rept. U. S. nat. mus. for 1902, 1904, p. 695, fig. 161-166. 



This species, which has formerly been confused with A. parvifrons (Cope) 



from Haiti, is related to that species, but perfectly distinct, and confined to 



Porto Rico. 



Leimadophis exiguus (Cope). 



Cope, Proc. Acad. nat. sci. Phila., 1862, p. 79. Stejneger, Rept. U. S. nat. mus. for 1902, 1904, p. 698, 

 fig. 167-169. 



This snake, closely related to the preceding, replaces it upon the islands of 

 St. John and St. Thomas. It has recently been found upon Culebra; and, as 

 Stejneger suggests, it probably occurs upon Vieques as well.
