 from the head to the end of the tail.

Tail, on the under part dirty white, beautifully mottled with black 

 spots ; the latter, however, in some specimens are wanting. 



Legs, light brown above, spotted with Avhite on the sides, and be-

2. LACEETA OZDURA. S WEILED-TAILED LIZARD. 



Head, upper part dark brown, with a few black spots ; under 

 part dull white, mottled with black. 



Back, on the middle a black list ; on each side of that a broad 

 brown one with a line of black spots in it; then a narrow stripe 

 of alternate yellow and brown spots ; beneath this a broad, 

 brownish black stripe with a line of yellow spots in it : these 

 lines all end about half an inch beyond the hind legs. 



Sides finely mottled with black and white. 



Belly of a beautiful orange (in some yellow, in others dirty white,) 

 spotted with black. 



Tail bulging out a little below the base (Avhere the lines down the 

 back terminate), which gives it the appearance of having been 

 cut off and set on again: this is of a light ash colour, with a 

 few long black marks at the end, and a large red mark on the 

 under part at the base ; the latter, however, varies according to 

 the colour of the belly. 



Legs, light brown above, black and white on the sides, and be- 

 neath red, yellow, or dull white (according to the belly), varie- 

 gated with black spots.
