 verse scutes commencing caudad of a seeming line of fracture near 

 the base. No femoral or preanal pores. Above vinous-grey, flecked

 head 15, tail 52, fore limb 14, hind limb 18, width of head 11. 



Locality. — Bellenden Ker ; collected by Mr. k. Meston. 



I do not conceive that the greater degree of development of the 

 imperfect digits and the presence of subcaudal scutes, if normal, 

 are valid objections to this lizard being referred to Perochirus.
