The following description is di-awn up exclusively from the type 

 specimens, from Zebil Bulghar Dagh, Cilician Taurus. 



Head and body rather strongly depressed, but less than in L. oxy- 

 cepliala, more as in some specimens of the typical L. mnralis. Head 

 If to a little over \\ times as long as broad, its depth, in the tympanic 

 region, equal to the distance between the anterior corner or the centre 

 of the eye and the anterior border of the tympanum ; snout obtusely 

 pointed, as long as or a little shorter than postocular part of head ; 

 cheeks not much swollen in the male ; length of pileus 2 to 2^ times its 

 width. Neck at least as broad as head. Hind limb reaching the shoulder 

 or the collar in the male, the axil in the female ; foot as long as head 

 or a little longer (not more than once and one-third). Tail cylindrical, 

 nearly twice or more than twice as long as head and body. 



Nostril pierced between the nasal, two postnasals, the first upper 

 labial, and the rostral. Nasals forming a suture behind the rostral ; 

 fi'ontonasal as long as broad or, more often, broader than long, 2 to 3 

 times as long as the suture between the prefrontals. Frontal l.V to If 

 times as long as broad, as long as its distance from the rostral or the 

 end of the snout, as broad as or a little narrroAver, behind, than the 

 principal supraoculars, not in contact with the first supraocular although 

 sometimes very narrowly separated from it. Parietals \\ (young) to 

 If times as long as broad, usually not in contact with upper postocular,* 

 the outer border more or less distinctly notched for the reception of 

 the large temporal. Occipital as long as or shorter than,t and as 



* In contact in 3 eases out of 16. 



t In one specimen barely half as long as the interparietal.
