 in spirit. 



Easily distinguished from G. verus by its double row of subcaudals, and 

 coloration likewise. For an interesting account of the habits of the Oecko- 

 tidaj see Col. Tytler's observations, J. A. S,, XXXIII., 535, though I can- 

 not adopt my friend's views in classification or nomenclature.

Boltalia sublcdvis^ Gray^ apud Gunther. 



a. many specimens. Calcutta. 



Very large female. Body 2.75, tail 1.75 = 4.50. 



In males five (six) femoral pores in each thigh widely separated by the 

 pubic region. Tail more or less verticillate, feebly spined. In the largest 

 specimen, which was a female, the tail was lanceolate, and very bulging at 

 the base. Back uniformly granular, with a few scattered larger flattened 

 tubercles along the sides. The thumb has a minute claw. Neither Gray 

 nor Gunther give the number of femoral pores so distinctive of the species. 

 The largest museum specimen from Calcutta is only 4.50 inches. In the 

 Museum no specimens are recorded from any other locality.

a. tliree specimens. Cerlon. Dr. Kelaart. 



Adult male. Body 2.50, tail 2.25 = 4.75. 



28 to 34 femoral pores, interrupted in the pubic region. 



Tail more or less verticillate and spined, sometimes simple, (normally, not 

 from reproduction.) Back uniformly granular, with a very few small flatten- 

 ed tubercles on the shoulder and loins. This species (W^Qv&howi H. frenatus 

 in the femoral pores not forming a continued line; in the scarcity of large 

 tubercles in the back ; in the thumb being of proportionate size (not very 

 small); and in size which is larger than in H.frcnatus, Sch., as I believe it 

 to be from Birmah. This is the S. Coctoei of Kelaart most probably men- 

 tioned by Gunther,
