pyriform knob. Lepidosis : — On the occiput, interorbital space 

 and sides of the frontal regions are small round close-set tubercles 

 mingled with others still smaller. The mid-frontal loreal, temporal 

 and supraciliary tubercles are much smaller but on the last two 

 regions are accompanied by a few of larger size. The internasal 

 tubercles are intermediate in size, rough and, under the lens, 

 obscurely keeled. Upper surface of the body and limbs minutely 

 granular studded with small rosettes composed of a conical tubercle 

 within a circle of very much smaller and numerous tubercles ; the 

 rosettes are for the most part irregularly disposed but on the flanks 

 they tend to arrange themselves in oblique lines ; they also form 

 a regular curved line across the back and a less definite angular 

 band across the shoulders. The lower surface is covered with 

 small tubercles which enlarge a little on the chest and towards 

 the lower lips. Rostral and mental subequal, small and low. 

 Labials jjjj. Above light brownish-grey, a pale band across the 

 occiput, a second across the nape, a third very angular over the 

 shoulders, the former two enclosing a crescent, the latter two a 

 triangle, of the ground colour; a pale "["-shaped mark on the rump ; 

 many of the larger tubercles, notably those of the curved line 

 crossing the back, white ; under surface white. Entire length 

 94 mm. ; length of the head 21 ; its breadth 18*5 ; length of the 

 body 52; of the tail 21 ; of the fore-limb 22 and of the hind- 

 limb 29 mm. 



The digits of the manus are all on the same plane as indeed they 

 are in iV. asper. The opposition of the outer digit to the inner, 

 given as a generic character, is limited to the pes. 



DlPLODACTYLUS T^ENICAUDA. 



A Diplodactylus with uniform dorsal lepidosis associated with 

 preanal pores in the male. 



Description ; — Head short, shelving from the forehead to the 

 muzzle. Snout rounded, longer than the postorbital length of the 

 head. Ear orifice a short narrow slit. Body stout. Limbs short 

 and strong. Digits short, broad, depressed ; inferiorly with large 

 transverse pads of which the antepenultimate is broadly cordiform
