* 34. Tropidophorus Beccarii Ptrs. 



One specimen, captured by Dr. Nieuwenhuis near the 

 river Howong and measuring 85 mm. from snout to vent, 

 with a tail of 125 mm., has its upperparts of a brown 

 colour, spotted or marbled with darker, its sides dark grey 

 with some small white spots, its uuderparts white with 

 dark vermiculations under the head ; the underpart of the 

 tail covered with dark brown light-edged scales; the soles 

 of the feet dark brown. 



This specimen has 32 rows of smooth scales round the 

 middle of the body, the ventrals being the largest, the 

 shields on the upperpart of the head being smooth. 



Contrary to the description and the figure of the typical 

 specimen, as well as to Boulenger's description, the pre- 

 frontals of this specimen do not form a suture, the fron- 

 tonasal being in contact with the frontal. The length of 

 the frontal in this specimen equals the length of fronto- 

 parietals, interparietal and parietals together, though in 

 Peters' figure ] ) of the typical specimen the length of the 

 frontal is smaller than the length of frontoparietals and 

 interparietal together, and Boulenger says: » frontal as long 

 as or a little longer than frontoparietals and interparietal 

 together".
