Pedernales Province on the south, through extreme western Independencia Province, thence east through San Juan Proxince to northern La Vega Province (Jarabacoa), Sanchez Ramirez Province (Cotui), San Cristolial Province (Gonzalo), and Samana Province (mouth of the Rio Yuna), and north to the northern coast in Maria Trini- dad Sanchez Province (Cabrera), but ex- cluding the Peninsula de Samana; possibly the He de la Tortue off the northern coast of Haiti (Fig. 3). Comments: A. d. dominicensis has the widest distribution of any of the His- paniolan subspecies. Throughout this wide range, it is remarkably constant in dewlap and dorsal colorations. The dewlap is most often pale yellow (PI. I), but at times (and not segregated geographically) there is a vague and pale orange basal blush on the otherwise yellow dewlap. Occasional speci- mens (for example, in the Sierra de Baoruco in Pedernales Province and at Cap-Haitien in northern Haiti) have the dewlap very pale yellow to practically white. In the green phase, the ground color is fairly bright and marbled and/or streaked with green, brown, black, or yellow. The head is pale green, and the ventral color varies from pale green to gray or even black. The underside of the tail ranges from bright yellow to yellow-orange. In the brown phase, the back is a rich choco- late or wood brown; some specimens seem incapable of achieving a uniform brown and have a ma
