PHYLLODACTYLUS MARTINI. 131 



longitudinal rows of' shields on both sides of the back i^tig. 3) 5 

 but on the flanks the shields are not so regularly arranged , 

 so that it is difficult to fix the real number of longitudinal 

 rows, about 14 a 16. Abdominal scales smooth , round , im- 

 bricate. Tail with rather large scales (not so large as in 

 fig. 2) with a series of large undivided iufracaudals over 

 the whole length of the tail. Hind limbs covered on the up- 

 per surface with keeled shields , on the lower surface with 

 flat scales ; forelimbs wholly covered with flat scales. 



Light gray above , with a longitudinal dark streak be- 

 ginning between the shoulders and running along the 

 median line up to the commencement of the tail , and two 

 longitudinal dark streaks running on each side on the 

 flanks and beginning on the crown of the head. 



A single specimen was captured in Curasao. 



I dedicate this species to Dr. K. Martin , Professor in 

 Geology and Paleontology at the University of Ley den , 

 one of the leaders of the Expedition to the West-Indies, 

 who most readily gave me very interesting informations as 

 to the native names and the habitat of some of the cap- 

 tured animals.
