94 SAURIA. 



The single praefrontal touches the rostral, and forms a broad suture with the vertical. 

 Four superciliary shields. Anterior occipitals united (this may be an individual peculiarity, 

 as a part of the supranasal also is confluent with the nasal). Opening of the ear a very 

 narrow and short obUque slit. Thii-ty-four longitudinal series of scales round the trunk, 

 eighty transverse series between the axils of the fore and hind legs. Vent covered with 

 about six subequal anals ; no broad subcaudals. 



Limbs feeble : the fore legs extend to the ear ; the length of the hind legs is two-elevenths 

 of that of the trunk ; the four outer hind toes are subequal in length. 



Olive, the upper parts with irregular, confluent, blackish spots ; each transverse series of 

 the scales on the sides with a narrow blackish edge; belly with numerous blackish dots 

 irregularly arranged. 



This species is allied to Scnira bicolor, Gray, from the Philippine Islands, which, however, 

 has considerably larger scales (twenty-six round the trunk). A single specimen has been sent 

 from Gamboja by Mouhot; it is 8 inches long, the tail measuiing half of it.

 with four. Palate without teeth, slightly notched behind. 



Only one species is known.
