openings nearly round, with three denticulations in front. Legs, 

 moderate ; toes, elongate ; scales very indistinctly tricarinated, 

 the keels showing more as points on the edge of the scale than 

 on it, those on the back in 8 series. Tail, considerably longer 

 than the body, and very acutely pointed. Colour, greenish olive 

 above, blueish white beneath, the under side of the legs and tail 

 being of a somewhat pinker hue.

Dum. and Bib. Erp., Gen. v., p. 759, Gray, Cat. Brit. Mus , 

 Lizards, p. 107. 



Several specimens of what I believe to be this species were

 free from denticulations, which is a character assigned to the 

 species by Dumeril and Bibron. 



24. — Heteropus bicarinatus. 



Head plates not different from all the other species. Ear 

 openings large and round, with a few very acute denticulations. 

 Legs and toes elongate. Scales sharply tricarinate on the neck, 

 and bicarinate on the back and sides. Colour, above dark 

 mottled with black, on the sides, and upper surface of the legs, 

 brown spotted with yellow, beneath, whitish. 



Length, 4 inches. 



Found at Hall Sound. 



25. — EUPKEPIS LONGICAUDIS. 



Head, rather elongate, and pointed at the muzzle ; supranasal 

 plates not contiguous ; fronto-nasals, contiguous ; supra-orbitals, 

 4 ; fronto-parietal, single, large, and hexagonal, with a small 

 interparietal ; the sixth upper labial plate more than twice the 

 size of any of the preceding plates. Ear openings nearly 

 round, with two or three flat denticulations in front. Scales on 

 the back rather large, each showing under a lens from 3 to 5
