XIV, 1 Taylor: New or Rare Philippine Reptiles 1138 
bordering upper and lower labials somewhat enlarged; scales 
on chin and throat small, those on abdomen imbricate and larger; 
snout covered with uniform granules, larger than those on occi- 
put or body; occiput with scattered tubercular granules, rather 
conical; body with about sixteen irregular rows of trihedral 
tubercles; latter present on limbs; tail but slightly depressed, 
with whorls of sharply keeled spines marking annulations, about 
eight spines in transverse rows at base of tail; below enlarged, 
broadened, imbricate scales; regenerated part of tail without 
spines; limbs moderate, with digits all clawed, without any trace 
of webs, the distal phalanx rising from near end of toe; latter 
long, compressed, much deepened near end; nine divided lamellz 
under longest toe, seven under longest finger; a distinct lateral 
fold from axilla to groin; a short series of femoral pores, five 
on one side, six on other side. 
Color in aleohol.—The specimen is light yellow-brown with no 
evidence of marking save a dark spot on the snout.

Variation.—The variation noted among specimens is largely 
in the markings. The live specimens examined usually exhibited 
a series of large dim dark blotches on the back, alternating 
with lighter markings. In most specimens the spiny tubercles 
on the back were white (see Plate I, fig. 2,b and c). The skin 
above the auricular opening forms an indistinct flap or fold 
(scarcely noticeable in preserved specimens), which is usually 
held distended in living or freshly killed specimens; this char- 
acter is very evident and is shown in Plate I, fig. 2, b and ¢. 
The fold of skin on sides of body is prominent in living specimens 
and is shown clearly in the figure mentioned. 
Remarks.—Evidently a rare form; most closely allied to H. 
depressus but easily distinguished by the longer snout, the char- 
acter of the tail-and the preanal pores, and the absence of webs 
on the feet. Known only from the Philippines.
