the mental, second largest and meeting a smaller scale on the median line, 

 third long and narrow and in contact with a larger plate at the lower edge. 

 Thirteen or fourteen small gular scales between the chin and the enlarged ven- 

 tral scutes. Scales smooth, in fourteen rows around the body, and in twenty 

 rows around the middle of the neck. Fifty-two pairs of ventral scutes from 

 gulars to vent ; each scute twice the size of the dorsal scales, or larger, less 

 than twice as wide as long. Preanal scales three, outer two larger, middle 

 one triangular acute-angled backward. Scutes below the tail in a single series 

 for a considerable distance, thence smaller and irregularly placed. Tail less 

 than twice as long as;head and body. 



Back reddish brown, belly whitish, chin and throat white. The white of 

 the throat extends upward in pointed areas on the sides of the head. Top of 

 head with three transverse blotches of black narrowly separated by two streaks 

 of white ; broadest band across the space between the ears, a narrower band 

 immediately back of the ears on the nape, and the third across the interorbital 

 space. Snout dark in the upper portion, with an indistinct transverse line of 

 lighter color across the forward end of the frontal. The darker color on the 

 first and second labials encroaches on the lower labials, as also is the case with 

 the black band through the eye. The edges of the scales are little darker, 

 forming reticulations.

Brachylophus fasciatus Wagl. 



Iguana fasciata Brongn. 



From Levuka, Ovalau Island, and Suva, Viti Levu, of the Fiji Islands. 

 The specimen from Levuka has five enlarged sharp-edged scales directed down 

 below the proximal joint of the third toe of the hind loot ; on the second and 

 the third toes the enlarged scales are smaller and fewer in number, three to four. 

 It has sixteen femoral pores on each side. On an individual from Suva there 

 are six enlarged scales below the third toe, the scales below the first and second
