However, the single Eyerdam specimen of Spluierodactylus copei Steindachner was noted as being indis- tinguishable from S. copei picturatus Carman from the nearby mainland (Schwartz and Thomas, 1964:326), yet the recently obtained series of S. copei from Grande Cayemite is undeniably a distinctive new subspecies.

Breviora. 1967 ANOLIS MONTICOLA GROUP 13 This is not in itself incontrovertible evidence against the occurrence of the species on that island, and it may be noted that Diploglossus sepsoides Gray, normally an inhabitant of distinctly moist situa- tions, does occur there.

The Eyerdam collection is also re- sponsible for the aberrant locality of the Citadelle Laferriere for specimens of Anolis hendersoni Cochran (Williams, 1963), a trenchantly south island species. We will not be apodictic but regard the Grande Cayemite specimen with Figure 7. Dorsal view of head of Anolis ?nonticola qiiadrisartiis, type, MCZ 62998. Snout-vent length 43 mm. Anolis monticola shows strong sexual dimorphism in size; males reach a maximum of 55 mm and females 39 mm. There are 7-11 (mode 9) scales across the snout at the level of the second canthal and 6-9 (mode 7) loreal rows. The supraorbital semicircles are separated by 2-4 (mode 3) scales, and there are 3-6 (mode 4) scales between the interparietal and the semicircles. Fourth toe lamellae in phalanges II and III vary from 17-21 (mode 18 or 19)..
