Hahifaf. — East and Central Africa. The type is from the Mau 

 Mountains in British East Africa. The species occurs also in the 

 Kilimanjaro and Usambara districts, on Mount Ruwenzori, and on Lake 

 Kivu. It is a moiuitain form, the specimens in the British Museum 

 having been obtained between the altitudes of 7000 and 8500 feet. 



The absence of the parietal foi'amen distinguishes this species from 

 all other members' of the group. There is much in common with 

 L. c?ilorogaster, both as regards lepidosis and coloration, but the head 

 is much flatter, the snout shorter in proportion to the postocular part 

 of the head, the dorsal scales are larger, tlie ventral plates form 8 

 longitudinal series instead of 6, the toes are shorter, etc.
