The specimens are perfectly typical, showing no tendency toward 
7. TlihiolopTius. In the only two specimens with well-developed dorsal 
spines, viz, Nos. 22516 and 2TS17, the number of spines between their 
origin on the nape and the level of the vent is 56 and 59, respectively.

PLICA PLICA (Linnaeus). 
Boulenger has followed Gray in applying ^''Uraniscodon Kaup" to 
the present genus, a course not warranted by the histoiy of the case, 
which is as follows: 
In 1825 Kaup^ plainly based his Uranoscodon., as he then wrote it, 
on Agama supereiliosa., though including l)oth L. jyl'ica and umbra in 
the genus. These species were excluded by Boie a few months later," 
and the amended name Uraniscodon restricted more emphatically to 
A. sup&rciUosa. This fixes the latter as the t^^pe, and the subsequent 
application of Uraniscodon. to the present genus is inadmissible. On 
the contrary, the genus which Boulenger credits to Fitzinger as 
^'' Oplvryoessa^'' 1826 (though spelled by Fitzinger Opkryessa)^ must 
henceforth be known as UTanoscodon Kaup, 1825.
