not followed by a spine. On the side of the neck two longitudinal 

 folds, one above the other, each supporting a row of spinous scales. 

 Muzzle concavely truncate, descending steeply from a transverse inter- 

 preorbital angle Scales of top of head rugose. Supraorbitals partly 

 or quite separated by a single row of scales; anterior and posterior 

 superciliaries in contact. Gulars subequal. 



Dorsal scales unequal, the lateral smallest, the largest median keeled. 

 Five or six rows of distant scales much larger than the rest on each 

 side of the median line, their ai)ices moderately prominent. The scales 

 of the single row forming the lateral fringe are very prominent and 

 acute. Scales of inferior surfaces smooth, except those of the tibia 

 and feet, which are keeled; those of the belly about equal to those of
