Log. — Chai'leville, S. W. Queensland. 



Evidently nearly allied to the western species, H. richardsoni% 

 but with larger scales, shorter body, and longer limbs. 



HiNULIA DOMINA. 



Habit rather stout, with moderately long limbs. Length 

 anterior to fore limb eight-ninths of the distance between the 

 limbs. Snout long, I'ounded. Frontonasal broader than long, 

 forming a broad suture with the rostral ; prefrontals forming a long 

 median suture ; frontal not twice as broad as long, as long as the 

 fronto- and interparietals together ; four supraoculars, the first 

 much the longest, the first and second in contact with the frontal ; 

 seven supraciliaries ; parietals forming a suture behind the inter- 

 parietal, bordered each by an occipital and a temporal ; no nuchals ; 

 fifth and sixth supralabials subocular. Ear orifice oval, shorter 

 than the eyelids, without lobules. Scales in 30 rows, smooth ; 

 median pair of dorsals enlarged ; caudals smooth. A pair of
