larly arranged small keeled tubercles. Rostral large, quadrangular, 

 not twice as broad as bigh, with median cleft; nostril between 

 the rostral and several granules ; eleven to thirteen upper and ten 

 to twelve lower labials; mental very large, subtriangular ; two 

 large chin-shields, in one specimen fused vnth. the mental. Ab- 

 dominal scales very small, juxtaposed, convex, keeled. No praeanal 

 or femoral pores. Tail cylindrical, slender, with small keeled scales 

 and large pointed tubercles, of which there is a median series on the 

 lower surface. Brown above, more or less distinctly clouded with

Head short ; snout obtusely pointed, slightly longer than the 

 distance between the eye and the ear-opening, once and two thirds 

 the diameter of the orbit ; forehead not concave ; ear-opening very 

 small, round. Body and limbs moderate ; the hind limb reaching 

 hardly the axilla. Digits moderately slender ; the basal joint not 

 dilated, scarcely wider than the distal joints, inferiorly with larger, 

 subequal plates. Upper surfaces covered with uniform strongly 

 keeled granules, which are larger on the back than on the snout. 

 Rostral subquadrangular, twice as broad as high, with median 

 cleft above ; nostril pierced between the rostral and three nasals ; 

 seven or eight upper and five or six lower labials ; mental large, 

 broad, subtriangular or pentagonal, with truncate posterior angle ; 

 small chin-shields passing gradually into the gular granules. Ventral 

 scales hexagonal, imbricate, smooth or feebly keeled. Males with 

 four or five femoral pores on each side. Tail cylindrical, tapering, 

 covered above with uniform small keeled scales, inferiorly with 

 larger scales, those of the median series being slightly enlarged. 

 Brown above, marbled with darker and lighter ; sometimes a light 

 vertebral line ; brownish- white beneath, the throat frequently brown,
