The specimen is a male, but I cannot see any prseanal 

 pores, mentioned in E. vieillardi; instead there is a triangulär 

 patch of rather enlarged scales behind the two large openings 

 for the copulatory organs. Hdbitat. New Caledonia. 



Lygosoma rölissii*^ n. sp.

 labial; no supranasal; upper headshields slightly striated. 

 Frontonasal much broader than long, forming a broad suture 

 with the rostral and a narrow one with the frontal; prae- 

 frontals separated; the frontal as long as the frontoparietal 

 together with half the interparietal, in contact with the two 

 anterior supraoeulars; four supraoculars, the second and 

 fourth largest; seven supraciliars ; frontoparietal single, a littlc 

 broader than long; interparietal distinct, much narrow; parie-

 nuchals (in one of the specimens each broken up into two 

 small shields) and a pair of temporals börder the parietals ; 

 eight upper labials, the sixtli largest and below the eye (in 

 one of the specimens there are only seven upper labials, the 

 fifth bordering the eye). Ear-opening large, a little smaller 

 than the eye-opening, with a series of small granular lobules
