Another spirit specimen probably a hatchling contained a frog. It is curious 

 that Mr. Boulenger in his catalogue gives the supralabials as numbering 8 

 normally, with the 3rd, 4th and 5th touching the eye when this arrangement 

 though not uncommon is the exception. The supralabials in this species are 

 specially subject to variation. I find that in nearly all my specimens there are 

 7 with the 3rd and 4th touching the eye. Very frequently too there are 8 

 with the 4th and 5th touching the eye, and occasionally but G with 3rd and 

 4th touching the eye. In a very large number theie is a long shield which 

 suggests that two (usually the 3rd and 4th) have become confluent, but so 

 often is this the case that one can hardly take this view. I cannot see any 

 apical facets on the costal scales.
