 agree in being of a pale brown colour above, and in being sharply 

 toothed on the margin ; in both which respects they differ from the 

 ot]iQr fresh-water Tortoises.

A new genus of Geckotida is characterized by Mr. Gray under 

 the name of 



Gehyra. 



Digiti 5-5, ad basin dilatati, serie unica sąuamarum transversa- 

 lium integrarum tecti, ad apicem compressi, Ūberi, omnes (prseter 

 poUices) unguiculati. Pori femorales nuUi. 



This genus is very nearly allied to Platydactylus, Cuv., in the 

 form of the base of the toes ; but the ends of the toes are thin, sim- 

 ple, and compressed, instead of being more \videly dilated, and 

 with the \?tstphalanx affixed along the upper surface. The body is co- 

 vered with smaU uniform granular scales, and the belly with larger 

 flat scales ; the tail is ringed with square scales, those of the under 

 surface being the largest. 



Gehyra Pacifica. Ge. pallide brunnea albido punctata, subths 

 alba ; occipitis strigd utrinque fasciiscue latis irregularibus dor- 

 salibus quinque vel sex pallidis ; ariubus pallido marmoratis. 



Long. corporis 2į poli, ; cauda, totidcm.
