REPTILES AND BAT RACHtANS FROM PENINSULAR SIAM. 1S7 



40. Lyoosoma vittigerum Bouleng. 



Smitli, Jonni. Nat. Hist. Soc. Siani, I, p. 154. 



Klong Bang Lai, 2 specimens. 



In these specimens, as in all those that I have seen from other 

 parts of Siam, tliere is a pale dorso-lateral stripe in addition to the 

 vertebral one. It commences above the eye, and terminates near the 

 posterior part of the body. It is narrower than the vertebral stripe and 

 is less clearly defined, its outer border of black being distinct only 

 anteriorly.

The type specimens of this lizard are from hills in Northern 

 Tenasserim, between 3,300 and 4,000 ft. higli. My .specimens differed

 black spots which are mostly collected in the mid-line. Starting from 

 the nostril and continued above the tympanum along the upper half
