One specimen from Egypt (L. Ge i senh ey n er). 



It differs in liaving very short limbs, the fore ones being shorter 

 instead of longer, as Andersson states, than the distance between the 

 tip of the snout and the eye ; iurthermore, the hind limbs are eonsiderably 

 shorter than the distance between eye and axil, thus smaller than hither- 

 to stated. All the extremities have only four digits, of which on tbe 

 right liand the outermost finger is very small and reduced and on the 

 left band the innermost also very short ; there are on that band only 

 two tingers not reduced ; the toes of the hind limbs are alike on both 

 sides, the innermost being rather small and the others regularly in- 

 creasing in length to the outermost, which is the longest. Andersson 

 says that he has never seen any specimen from Egypt, having the 

 lingers and toes reduced to such a degree, although such specimens are 

 knovvn from other countries. The whole limbs, however, are in this 

 specimen more reduced than hitherto found at any place. 



Length of body 105 mm ; the tail is broken. Length of fore limbs 

 5,3 mm, length of hind limbs 14,5 mm; distance between the tip of 

 the snout and the eye 5,6 mm; distance between the eye and the 

 axil 16 mm.

6 specimens from Titicaca. 



The ground-colour is plumbeous gray; some are uniform, but in 

 some the ground-colour is mingled with small indistinct light spots ; 

 the dark longitudinal band and the two cross-bands, said to exist, do 

 not appear in any specimen. In one specimen the whole upper surface 

 is covered with very small yellowish horny points ; in the other specimens 

 there are such ones only somewhere on the body, but tbey are always 

 10 be found, at least to some extent. All the specimens are females. 



Measurements of the largest specimen: From nose to vent 77mm. 

 Lenght of the nose 11 mm, lenght of the orbit 6,2 mm, from nose to 

 angle of mouth 25,5 mm. Breadth of head at the angle of moutb 

 29 mm. Humerus 14 mm, from the elbow to the tip of third finger 

 35 mm, femur 36 mm, tibia 33 mm, tarsus with 4 th toe 53 mm.
