 the scales of its basal part very large and hard, those of the median 

 upper row forming a serrated edge. Pale olive-green, above with 

 transverse bands of a darker green ; four angular reddish-brown 

 cross bands on the back ; a dark streak from the eye to above the

Upper head-scales feebly keeled, imbricate, strongly enlarged on 

 supraorbital region ; two small slender spines on each side of the 

 back of the head, the anterior midway between the nuchal crest 

 and the tympanum, the posterior just above the latter, which mea- 

 sures half the diameter of the orbit. Gular sac small ; gular scales 

 strongly keeled, nearly as large as the ventrals. A strong oblique 

 fold or pit in front of the shoulder, and a transverse gular fold. 

 Nuchal crest composed of a few slender erect spines, the longest 

 of which measures the diameter of the tympanum ; dorsal crest 

 a mere denticulation. 55 or 57 scales round the middle of the 

 body ; dorsal scales of nearly the same size as the ventrals, keeled, 

 those on the upper half of the body directed upwards and back- 

 wards, the others downwards and backwards ; ventral scales strongly 

 keeled and mucronate. The adpressed hind limb reaches the pos- 

 terior border of the orbit; fourth finger longer than third. Tail 

 slightly compressed, the scales on its basal part large and hard, 

 those of the median upper row considerably enlarged and forming a 

 serrated ridge. Olive-brown above, vertebral region rather lighter ; 

 a dark band from the eye, through the tympanum, along each side 

 of the neck ; the oblique fold in front of the shoulder black ; dark 

 lines radiating from the eye.
