shields large, similar. Edge of the eyelids reflexed, expanded ; pupil 
large. Back with series of granular tubercles, those on the side 
formed of three subequal, larger scales. Chin, throat, and belly 
with smooth polygonal scales. 
This genus is very similar to Hublepharis (Hardwichii) in external 
appearance and distribution of colour, but differs in the toes being 
very much shorter, thicker, and cylindrical and tapering, in the 
ends not being compressed and arched, but thick and cylindrical 
like the bases, and in the under surface of the toes being covered 
with small rough granules, like the under surface of the palms or soles 
of the feet. It differs also in the tubercles of the back being formed 
of groups of three scales; the central scales or tubercles on the 
middle of the back are larger than those on each side of it, but on 
the sides of the back the three scales are of nearly equal size. 
In ELublepharis the toes are compressed at the end, and have a 
broad band-like scale beneath, and the tubercles of the back and sides 
are all formed of a single large scale. 
PstLODACTYLUS CAUDICINCTUS. 
Stenodactylus caudicinctus, A. Duméril, 7. ec. 
In spirits, pale whitish ; upper part of the head brown, edged with 
a black horseshoe-shaped band behind; cheek and side of the throat 
black, varied ; back with two very broad irregular-edged black cross 
bands; tail dark, ringed. 
Hab. W. Africa; Old Calabar? 
EUPREPIS GULARIS, sp. noy. 
Pale bronze-green brown (in spirit), with five narrow whitish 
streaks from the occiput continued on the base of the tail; crown 
of the head uniform brown; the central dorsal streak with a narrow 
black edge on each side, the two lateral streaks scarcely dark-edged, 
the upper one arising from the back edge of the eye, and the lower 
from the pale scales on the upper lip; the throat, the sides of the 
face, and neck dark brown, white-speckled. The front edge of the 
ears with a few very small thin scales. 
Hab. South-Eastern Africa. 
In the ‘ Catalogue of Lizards in the British Museum,’ I regarded 
these specimens from South Africa as varieties of the Huprepis quin- 
quefasciatus from Western Africa; but on recomparing these speci- 
mens with other specimens received since, and with the specimens 
brought home by Dr. Kirk, I am convinced that they are distinct. 
Evupreris Kirk, sp. nov. 
Black-brown ; back with three uniform well-marked yellow streaks, 
the middle one from the end of the nose to the base of the tail, the 
lateral ones from the eyebrows and continued on the side of the base 
of the tail, and tail-end blue. There is a streak like the others, but 
less distinct, on each side of the body, arising from the lips, continued 
across the ear-hole, and obscurely continued on the side of the base 
of the tail. The chin and underside of the body and base of the tail 
whitish ; scales with three distinct keels ; two series of scales between
