trace of a crest; the dorsal and caudal crests are visible ; the poste- 
rior extremities are comparatively very long, extending far beyond 
the end of the snout, if laid forwards ; the toes are distinctly fringed. 
The bands on the back are blackish ; the streaks on the side of the 
head very distinct. 
2. A somewhat larger specimen—head and trunk 2} inches, tail 
52 inches in length —agrees with the former in all the points men- 
tioned; but the occiput is flatter, with a slight transverse swelling 
posteriorly, in the middle of which a feeble and short ridge indicates 
the development of the occipital crest. 
3. In a specimen of 11 inches in length—head and trunk 3 inches, 
tail 8 inches—the snout is more produced, and has the form of that 
of an adult’; the occiput is flat, produced posteriorly in a small com- 
pressed protuberance, which is not elevated above the level of the 
crown; the head, in this state, resembles somewhat that of Chame- 
leopsis. 
4. In a mature female—head and body 6 inches, tail 15 inches in 
length—the occiput is produced posteriorly into a flat protuberance 
provided with a low crest, about a line high along its middle; the 
protuberance and the crest are covered with very small scales. The 
hinder extremities extend as far as the end of the snout. Dorsal and 
caudal crests very low. The head and the neck are ferruginous, 
with the lateral bands yellowish ; the ground-colour of the body and 
of the extremities is of a beautiful grass-green. A series of short red- 
dish-brown bands along the back ; the upper parts of the extremities 
with cross-bands of the same colour ; tail with alternate brown and 
green rings ; the lower parts yellowish. No pouch on the throat. 
5. Ina mature male—head and trunk 6 inches, tail 17 inches in 
length—the protuberance is swollen, elevated, and bears a thin, semi- 
circular crest, half an inch high; the protuberance and crest are covered 
with polygonal shields; the dorsal and caudal crests are rather low ; 
the hinder extremities extend as far as the end of the snout, if laid 
forwards. The ground-colour of the head and body is dark green ; 
the brown bands on the back are indistinct, those of the tail and the 
extremities clearly visible. A small pouch at the throat. The in- 
testines contained seeds of various plants. 
6. In an old male—head and body 7 inches, tail 21 inches—the 
basal protuberance is very large, extending over the whole neck ; the 
thin part of the crest is semielliptical, covered with polygonal shields ; 
the scales, by which the dorsal crest is formed, are about 1 line high. 
The ground-colour is greenish-brown, the markings being the same 
as in the former specimen.

The species is represented by several varieties with regard to the 
coloration. 
Var. a. Nearly uniform greyish- or brownish-olive ; tail with in- 
distinct brown rings. 
Var. 8. Body ferruginous, with broad, irregular brown bands 
across the back ; anterior part of the head yellowish, with a brown
