nasal which appears to be separater! from the nostril by a narrow rim, 

 protruding from the upper of the two nasals mentioned. The large 

 supranasal is separated from its fellow by several small scales behind 

 the broad rostral cleft, in which three such scales are placed; 12 upper 

 labials gradually decreasing in size behind, the two posterior being very 

 small ; 10 lower labials, the three or four posterior minute. Mental 

 moderately large, pentagonal : chin-shields in three pairs, the inner 

 largest and elongate, the outer smallest; chin-shields bordered behind by 

 a row of smaller irregulär plates. A long, angular series of oval femoral 

 pores, 32 in all. Tail much depressed, tapering, with a rather sharpish, 

 minutely serrated lateral edge, its upper surface covered with very small 

 Hat scales, airanged in transverse rows, its lower surface provided with 

 a median series of large transverse plates. 



Greyish brown above with small irregulär dark dots, and some 

 rather distinct dark spots along the median line of the tail. Lower 

 surfaces uniform greyish white, more dusky on the tail. 



Measurements : Total length 60 -j- 56 mm. 



Distance between the tip of the snout and the bind margin of the 



ear 16 mm. 

 Distance between snout and eye 7 mm. 

 Diameter of eye 4 mm. 

 Breadth of head 12 mm. 

 Length of fore limb 16 mm. 

 Length of bind limb 23 mm. 



Tbis species is apparently nearly allied to Gehyra interstitialis, 

 described by Oudehans in Semon's Forschungsreise, Bd. 7, Lief. 1, 

 p. 134, Jena 1894, which, however, appears to be distinguished from my 

 specimen in the following points: «die Zehen sind durch schwache Haut- 

 falten verbunden ; Kehlschuppen nur wenig kleiner als die Bauchschuppen, 

 Nasenloch zwischen Rostrale, dem ersten Labiale und vier Nasalia ; neun 

 Labialia am Oberkiefer, sieben am Unterkiefer; Femoralporen im ganzen 

 fünfzig, rund; Farbe oben bleigrau mit vielen runden helleren Flecken». 

 In addition to this there is no transverse row of plates behind the chin- 

 shields in G. interstitialis, and the inferior lamelhe of the digits are 

 divided in a higher degree than in my species: «die Lamellen an der 

 Unterseite der Zehen sind geteilt, jedoch nicht immer deutlich».
