Body much elongate ; limbs very short, tetradactyle ; distance 

 between end of snout and fore limb contained 3^ to 4 times 

 in distance between axilla and groin. Snout short, obtuse. 

 Lower eyelid with an undivided transparent disk. Supranasals 

 present, in contact behind the rostral ; froutonasals much broader 

 than long, forming a broad suture with the frontal ; prajfrontals 

 small, widely separated ; frontal shorter than the interparietal, in 

 contact with the first and second supraoculars ; 4 supraoculars ; 

 6 or 7 supraciliaries ; f routoparietals fused into a single large shield ; 

 interparietal distinct, not much shorter than the frontal ; parietals 

 forming a suture behind the interparietal ; no nuchals ; fourth and 

 fifth upper labials below the eye. Ear-opening very small. 22 

 smooth, subequal scales round the middle of the body. Prsoanals 

 not enlarged. Third and fourth toes equal ; subdigital laniellie

Hob. The Deccan (Poona, Belgaum, Matherau). The unique 

 type of Hagria vosmaerii or Campsodactylus lamarrei, stated to be 

 from Bengal, is apparently an anomalous specimen of this species, 

 with fiv$ fingers instead of four.
