104 Mr. J. A. Murray on the 



convex hind margin. Upper labials 11, with a number of 

 smaller ones behind, scarcely larger than the granular scales 

 of the tympanic region. Tail not attenuate, as in C. Dorice, 

 but ends ratiier abruptly ; it is three fifths the length of the 

 head and body, while that of C. Dorice is nearly the length 

 of the head and body. The head is short and thick, and 

 presents a very different aspect from that of C. Dorice) its 

 height is about a fifth less than its greatest breadth, or a fifth 

 less than that of C. Dorice, both in height and breadth. The 

 fore and hind limbs are very much stouter and shorter than 

 those of C. Dorice. The fore limb laid forward, the tips of 

 the fingers reach only to the end of the snout, while in C. 

 Dorice the tips of the fingers extend beyond the snout by the 

 length of the foot. The hind limb laid forward does not 

 extend as far as the axil of the fore limb, while that of C. 

 Doric reaches nearly to the ear-opening. Fingers and toes 

 much shorter and more robust. 



Length, head and body 2'62 inches, tail 1'37. 



Colour : instead of the spotted character of the markings of 

 C. Dorice, this species is banded, the bands being rather 

 curved, with the concavity in front. There are four bands, 

 one on the occiput, one behind the shoulder, another on mid- 

 trunk, and the fourth on the loins. The tail has 7-8 dark 

 bands. The ground-colour is apparently ochraceous. There 

 are 2-^3 dark oblique streaks below the eye along the labials. 

 Sides of the body slightly darker than the back. 



Hah. Tanjistan, in Persia. Two specimens among seven 

 of C. Dorice, collected in 1877.
