XXXVI. — List and Revision of the Species of A\\o\\^2S. in the British-Museum Collection ^ icith Descriptions of nexo 8i)ecies. By A. W. E. O'Shaughnessy, Assistant in the Natural-History Department. Since the date of the publication of Dr. Gray's 'Catalogue of Lizards in the British Museum' large additions have been made to the collection of specimens of the group Anolis. Many of these additional specimens were examined by Mr. Cope some years since, and furnished him with the types of new species, which he described in the ' Proceedings ' of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. The following list is the result of a recent study of the entire series, and gives the names of all the species which appear to me to be represented in it. Cham^leolis, Coct.
