first finger is very slightly longer than the second and as long 

 as the fourth ; third finger longest. Tarsus witli a mesial 

 and lateral longitudinal row of distant tubercles, and a cuta- 

 neous fold on the inner side extending to the inner metatarsal 

 tubercle. The tubercle on the outer edge scarcely so promi- 

 nent as the inner one, which is elongate. Soles of the hind 

 feet faintly tuberculate. Toes half-webbcd ; the tip of the 

 first reaches tlie second joint of the second toe. Hind limb 

 long ; laid forward alongside the body the metatarsal tubercle 

 reaches the eye, and one half of the foot extends beyond the 

 snout. 



Length 3 inches ; hind limb from anus to tip of second 

 finger 4*2 inches. 



Colour yellowish, a dark spot ou each eyelid ; anotlier 

 oblique one from the liind edge of the eye to the tympanum, 

 and a third very small one on eacli nostril ; fore and hind 

 legs with 2-4 transverse blotches on their upper surface. 

 Sides of the first and upper surface of first and second fingers 

 black. Under surface pale yellowish. Tips of toes slightly 

 swollen and of a brownish colour. 



These specimens come near to Bofo olivaceus^ Blanf. (East 

 Pers. p. 434, pi. xxviii. fig. 3) , but differ from it by having the 

 dorsal surface closely set with horny-tipped tubercles, a flat 

 instead of a concave crown, by its under surface being smooth 

 and not tuberculate, and by its shorter hind limbs. From B. 

 vulgaris it is distinguished by its longer hind limbs, having 

 a cutaneous tarsal fold, a distinct tympanum, and no dark 

 band below the parotoid. 



XIV. — Additions to the Reptilian Fauna of Sind. 

 By James A. Murray. 



Since the publication of my work on the ' Vertebrate Zoology 

 of Sind,' a collated descriptive account of all the species of 

 mammals, birds, and reptiles (including several new species) 

 known to inhabit the province, some little interest appears 

 to have been aroused in zoological inquiries, which has 

 resulted in the Kurrachee Museum acquiring several collec- 

 tions of reptiles from hitherto unknown localities in Upper 

 Sind. 



Among these are four species from the barren sandy wastes 

 of the frontier districts, collected by my indefatigable corre-
