3. Gymnodactylus scaher^ Riipp. 



Two specimens collected at Sukkur and one at Laid, be- 

 tween Shikarpoor and Sukkur, by Mr, F. Gleadow (see my 

 preceding paper, " On Additions to the Fauna of Persia," for 

 description of this species). 



It replaces Gymnodactylus petrensis in Upper Sind. 



4. Acontiophis paradoxa. 

 Acontiojjhis paradoxa, Giiiith. Proc. Zool, See. 1875, p. 232. 



This snake was known from a single specimen only, the 

 locality of which has only now been ascertained. I count 

 ventrals 180, and subcaudals 52, My specimens are greyish 

 brown ; a dark line from behind the eye to the nape, a 

 subovate dark patch on the occiput and a border along the 

 margins of the occipitals from the anterior half of the super- 

 ciliaries. A dorsal series of quadrangular dark spots with 

 white interspaces, nearly of the same width to within an inch 

 of the end of the tail, where they become smaller and more 

 faint, and gradually disappear. 



Total length of larger of two specimens 14*25 inches, of 

 which the tail is 2*10 inches.
