The specimens on which the new species is founded were sent 

 to Calcutta sixty years ago and are not in good condition. They 

 have totally lost their natural colours and, like some other very 

 old specimens of lizards in our collection, are stained of a peculiar 

 greenish shade. One, which I have labelled as the type, is, how- 

 ever, sufficiently complete to be figured. One was sent some 

 years ago to the British Museum under the name Gymnodactylus 

 fedtschenkoi.

Gymnodactylus scaber (Riippel).

The distribution of this well-known species extends from 

 Kgypt and Abyssinia through south-western Asia to Afghanistan 

 and Sind, thus resembling that of the fish CyPHnodon dispar.

I have nothing to add to Blanford 's excellent description. 

 The type, which is in good condition and has apparently retained 

 its natural colouration, still remains unique. As it was found in 

 Persian territory, the species should not, strictly speaking, be in- 

 cluded in the Indian fauna.

Gymnodactylus kachhensis, Stoliczka. 



Boulenger, Fauna, p. 63. 



The range of this species and that of G. scaber overlap, but 

 the latter is probably not found south of the Indus. The type of 

 G. kachhensis is in fair condition, but the tail is loose. Other 

 specimens in the collection are apparently cotypes or paratypes.
