HiNULIA TIGRINA. 



Habit slender. Head narrow ; snout long, deep, and rounded. 

 Length anterior to axil once and one-eighth in the distance 

 between the limbs. Rostral elevated, forming a straight suture 

 with the frontonasal ; the latter much broader than long, with an 

 angular posterior edge ; prefrontals forming together a long 

 median suture ; frontal nearly as long as fronto- and inter- 

 parietals together ; the last as long as the frontoparietals ; piarie- 

 tals meeting behind the interparietal, bordered by two pairs of 

 scales and two temporals ; no nuchals ; four supraoculars, the
