beneath the toes ; but the toes are freer, and the bases of the toes are 
slender and subcylindrical. It differs from dura and Strophura 
in the plates under the toes being of a uniform size, and closely im- 
bricate. 
LyGopDACTYLUS STRIGATUS, Sp. nov. 
Grey brown (in spirits) above ; crown vermiculated and marbled 
with black ; chin and beneath white, with a black streak commencing 
from the nostril and continued, enclosing the eye, on the side of the 
neck and front of the body ; tail pale brown; scales on the back 
very minute, of the crown rather larger ; upper labial shields narrow ; 
the lower labial shields 7.7, the four in front of each side larger, be- 
coming gradually smaller; chin-shield six-sided, with two or three 
smaller shields on each side behind it. 
Hab. South-Eastern Africa (Dr. Kirk). 
Body and head 14 inch long; tail 1 inch. 
Homopacry vs, n. g. 
The toes free, broad, depressed, rather broader and rounded at the 
ends ; thumb broad like the toes; all granular at the base, and with 
a single series of broad transverse plates beneath the dilated end, and 
without any free compressed terminal joints or claws. Back with 
large tubercles. Tail with rings of large tubercular scales. No pre- 
anal or femoral pores. 
This genus is like Phe/suma in the form of the toes ; but the thumb 
is dilated at the end like the toes; the back is tubercular, and the 
tail rmged and tubercular. 
In the latter character it resembles Taventola, which has the same 
habit of living in houses; but it has no compressed joints on the 
middle toes of the hands and feet. 
HomopactyLus TuRNERI, Sp. nov. 
Pale brown ; head blackish, tubercular ; back with sixteen longi- 
tudinal series of large, oblong, more or less keeled, black- brown tuber- 
cles, with a central series of much smaller similar tubercles down the 
vertebral line. The outer side of the limbs with similar tubercles, 
which are largest. on the outer side of the fore legs and hinder side 
of the thighs and hind legs. Tail with rather distant rings of similar, 
but rather more acute tubercles, which make six longitudinal series 
on the base of the tail; underside pale brown, with smooth subequal 
scales; chin with three band-like shields in front. 
Hab. South-Eastern Africa (Dr. Kirk). In the houses. 
Var. or junior ? 
Pale brown, with the tubercles paler and with some opaque-white 
tubercles intermixed. Head with four longitudinal brown streaks 
up the face to the forehead ; a brown streak on the upper margin of 
the temple, five unequal, rather irregular, dark bands across the 
back, and some more obscure paler bands across the tail. The toes 
appear scarcely so much dilated ; but in other respects they are like 
the two larger dark specimens. 
I have named this species in honour of J. Aspinall Turner, Esgq.,
