onal specimens at the type locality, a conglomerate cliff along the Rio Marquez. These will be reported by him in his forthcoming study of the genus. ~Anolis dunni~ Smith _Anolis dunni_ Smith, Copeia, no. 1:9, May 10, 1936.--Agua del Obispo, Guerrero, Mexico. Arteaga (3); 19 km. S of Arteaga. Three females from Arteaga (UMMZ 119075) have snout-vent lengths of 41, 41, and 44 mm. In life the pale grayish brown dorsum was marked with dark brown; the belly was white, and the throat was pale pink. All have a dark interorbital bar and dark vertical bars on the upper labials. In two specimens there are only scattered dark flecks on the dorsum; in the third there is a dark postorbital stripe, a dark lateral stripe, and four narrow transverse bands on the body. A male from 19 kilometers south of Arteaga (UMMZ 119076) having a snout-vent length of 49 mm. had in life a tan dorsum, a broad white stripe from the ear to the groin, scattered small white spots on the dorsum, and indistinct pale cream-colored spots on the posterior surfaces of the thighs. This male has the dark labial bars, but lacks the dark interorbital bar, found in the females. The large rose-pink throat fan extends to about the middle of the belly. In all of the specimens the middorsal scales are keeled and much smaller than the smooth pavementlike or slightly imbricate ventrals. All have two gulars in contact with the mental, five scales between the nasals, five scales (not including the first labials) in contact with the rostral, and four rows of loreals. In these characters these specimens agree well with _Anolis dunni_ from Guerrero, as diagnosed by Davis (1954b). Previously _Anolis dunni_ has been reported only from the vicinity of Agua del Obispo, Guerrero, a locality situated at an elevation of about 900 meters in pine-oak forest in the Sierra del Sur. All known close relatives of _Anolis dunni_ occur only in Guerrero: _A. taylori_ Smith and Spieler from Acapulco, _A. gadowi_ Boulenger from Tierra Colorado, _A. liogaster_ Boulenger, and _A. omiltemanus_ Davis from Omiltemi. The present specimens from elevations of about 900 meters in riparian stream vegetation and oak forest represent the northern known limits of this group of _Anolis_. ~Anolis nebulosus~ (Wiegmann) _Dactyloa nebulosa_ Wiegmann, Herpetologia Mexicana, p. 47, 1834.--Mexico. Type locality restricted to Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico, by Smith and Ta
