A single specimen from Ubombo, Zululand. 

 This fine lizard agrees in size with G. validus A. SniWi, or 

 Gr. major ^-1. Dum. It differs from both in the number of 

 longitudinal series of dorsal shields, and from the former by 

 the number of longitudinal series of ventral shields, the 

 separation of the nasal shields by the rostral and fronto- 

 nasal, and the low number of femoral pores. In coloration it 

 resembles the former. 



Calamelaps warreni sp. n. (Text-fig. 3.) 



Rostral large, a little broader than deep, the portion visible 

 from above as long as its distance from the frontal ; inter- 

 nasals much broader than long, half as long as the prefrontals;
