Gehyra variegata Boul. 



Hemidactylus variegatus D. B. 



In one case the six pores of the right side are the only ones present, a possi- 

 ble indication of bisexual internal conditions. 



Woodworthia, gen. nov. 



Gecconiform, with rounded tapering tail. Digits strongly dilated, median 

 slightly webbed at their bases, inner and outer free ; distal phalanx of inner 

 digit raised, supporting two plates with the claw between as in CEdura, basal 

 phalanges with broad undivided transverse lamellae ; distal phalanges of the 

 other four digits compressed, raised, and clawed as in Hoplodactylus. Body 

 covered above with uniform granular scales, inferiorly with larger slightly 

 imbricated scales. Pupil vertical. 



On the types four digits of each foot resemble those of Naultinus or Hoplo- 

 dactylus, while the fifth digit has a distal portion more like that of O^ldura, 

 being provided with a large pad at each side of the claw below the extremity. 



Generic name in honor of Dr. W. McM. Woodworth. 



Woodworthia digatata, sp. nov. 



Plate 1, Fig. 2-2 f. 



Outlines resembling those of Hemidactylus ; with tail moderately long and 

 slender. Head oval, snout narrowed, blunt, little longer than the distance 

 between the eye and the ear; ear opening large, narrow, oblique ; eye large, 

 prominent. Body and limbs moderate, feet large. Digits broad, outer and 

 inner on each foot free, others united by a rudimentary web ; basal dilatations 

 large, inferiorly with a single series of transverse lamellae ; distal phalanges 

 strong, compressed, raised and clawed on four of the digits ; distal phalanx 

 on the fifth digit differing from that of the others in being broad and bearing 

 inferiorly a pair of large plates between which the claw rests, Plate 1, Fig. f. 

 Twelve or thirteen lamellae under the fourth toe. Snout covered with gran- 

 ules, larger between the rostral and each orbit, becoming largest and plate-like 

 toward the rostral and the labials. Twelve labials ; thirteen lower labials. 

 Rostral more than twice as broad as high, cleft at the upper edge. Nostril 

 pierced between the rostral, first lalnal, and four nasals. Three scales across 

 the snout behind the rostral between tlie nostrils, median smallest. Two scales 

 behind the mental between the lower labials of the first pair. Two small 

 scales behind each of the first pair of lower labials, and one or two behind each 

 of the second pair. Behind those mentioned the scales gradually decrease in 

 size to the granules. On the back and the limbs the granules are uniform and
