The following lizards are thought to have escaped observation 

 hitherto. 



GECKONID^. 



ffiDURA MONILIS. 



Habit slender, elongate. Head much depressed, rather narrow ; 

 snout longer than the postorbital region of the head, rather 

 narrow and acute, twice the diameter of the eye. Ear orifice large, 

 oval, horizontal, two-thirds the diameter of the eye. Limbs weak. 

 Scales of the body above and below equal, large, one-fourth of the 

 diameter of the eye, flat, hexagonal ; of the vertex similar ; of the 

 snout lai-ger. Rostral oblong with its upper angles truncated and 

 with a median cleft above ; nasal and mental as in (E. tryoni ; 

 labials JfJ. Tail subcylindrical, a little swollen in the middle, with a 

 single small basal tubercle ; no preanal pores. Above pale brown 

 with eight pairs of large round well-defined paler spots on the 

 vertebral line, the last two pairs over the pelvis ; a series of 

 smaller obscure spots on the dorso-lateral line.

CEdura cincta. 



Dorsals flat, as large as the ventrals ; no notewoi'thy differences 

 from CE. marmorata and (E. tryoni in the rostral (save that the
