pelvic region. Grooves on tail obsolete, those on front or anterior 
of sides most pronounced. No scapular groove. Gular fold well 
developed and sloping obliquely forward on neck below. A shal- 
low median groove along middle of back. Edge of back hardly 
forming a superior keel along each side of caudal. ‘Tail rather 
compressed, so that transverse section would appear somewhat 
ovoid, with bulge above towards base. Edge of tail along most 
of its upper extent with a low keel to tip, and below a similar one 
most of its distal length. Tail slender, tapering and acuminate. 
Head large, broader than greatest width of body, depressed both 
above and below, and greatest width just behind eye. Parotid

elongated, not especially elevated, rather small, and placed about 
first third in length of head. Eyelids rather thin, though well de- 
veloped. Pupil circular. Mouth broad, and when viewed from be- 
low seen to be more evenly convex than edge of upper jaw. Lips 
thin, rather hard and firm, their surfaces apparently convex. A 
single series of small or minute even teeth in jaws. Palatine teeth 
minute, in 2 small convergent patches directed backwards, though 
separated, and not annectant with parasphenoid patches. ‘Tongue 
moderately large, rather heart-shaped with posterior emargina- 
tion not very deep but shallow, becoming free marginally, and 
its surface finely papillose. Internal nares placed in front of 
outer ends of palatine patches of teeth, and distance from one 
another equal to bony interorbital space. External nostrils rather
