United States National Museum
SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM Bulletin 156 ABORIGINAL INDIAN POTTERY OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC BY HERBERT W. KRIEGER Curator of Ethnology, United States National Museum UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1931 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price, 75 cents ADVERTISEMENT The scientific publications of the National Museum include two series, known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletins. The Proceedings^ begun in 1878, are intended primarily as a me- dium for the publication of original papers, based on the collections of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organiza- tions and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. The Bulletins^ the first of which was issued in 1875, consist of a series of separate publications comprising monographs of large zoological groups and other general sj^stematic treatises (occasion- ally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, cata- logues of type-specimens, special collections, and other material of a similar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few instances in which large plates were regarded as indispensable. In the Bulletin series appear volumes under the heading Gontrihutions from the United States National Hei'haHum^ in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum. -

The U.S.-Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) has improved the competitiveness of U.S. products; consumer-oriented product sales have increased by 200 percent since the implementation of the agreement in 2007. The United States is the largest consumer food exporter to the Dominican Republic, with a market share of approximately 50 percent. With a very active tourism sector valued at approximately $5.3 billion in 2016 (representing 7.8 percent of the GDP), there are opportunities for increased U.S. exports to the Dominican market. Products with the highest potential include snack foods, powdered milk, wine, craft beer, and cheddar cheese. Post: Santo Domingo Page 1 of 24 SECTION I. MARKET OVERVIEW 1.1. Economic situation According to the Dominican Republic Central Bank, the Dominican Republic (DR)’s gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 6.6 percent in 2016. This growth has positioned the DR as a leader in Latin America for the third consecutive year, exceeding the expectations of the government and other international institutions. -

Reptilla: Sauria: Iguanidae
~moo~~~~oo~~moo~ ~oorn~m~m~~ rnoo~rnrnm~m~~ Number 47 December 30, 1981 Variation in Hispaniolan Anolis olssoni Schmidt (Reptilia: Sauria: Iguanidae) Albert Schwartz REVIEW COMMITTEE FOR THIS PUBLICATION: Ronald Crombie, National Museum of Natural History Robert Henderson, Milwaukee Public Museum Richard Thomas, University of Puerto Rico ISBN 0·89326·077·0 Accepted for publication November 11, 1981 Milwaukee Public Museum Publications Published by the order of the Board of Trustees Milwaukee Public Museum 800 West Wells Street Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53233 Variation in Hispaniolan Anolis olssoni Schmidt (Reptilia: Sauria: Iguanidae) Albert Schwartz Miami-Dade Community College North Campus, Miami, Florida 33167 ABSTRACT - The Hispaniolan "grass anole," Anolis olssoni Schmidt, is widespread on the Hispaniolan north island and has invaded the south island Peninsula de Barahona and De de la Gonave. Although these lizards are xerophilic, their dorsal color and pattern are not always pale as is typical of desert lizards. Seven subspecies are recognized on the main island and another on De de la Gonave. These differ in color, pattern, and scutellation, and at least two are apparently widely disjunct from other populations. Two Dominican and two Haitian populations are left unassigned subspecifically, primarily due to inadequate samples. On the Greater Antillean islands of Hispaniola, Cuba, and Puerto Rico is a complex of anoles which have come to be called" grass anoles" due to their habitat. The head and body shapes, as well as their very elongate tails, make these anoles conform to the shapes of blades of grass, although they are not rigidly restricted to this sort of physical situation. -
