 and there are as many as ten transverse dark bands from the

 spaces between them. From snout to vent 19 millim, ; tail 18 

 millim.

Also closely allied to S. sputator. Snout still more pointed,

 more than the distance between the eye and the ear-opening. Grey 

 above, uniform or dotted with white ; in specimen h the snout is 

 white. From snout to vent 35 millim, ; tail 30 millim.

 Sphaerodactylus nigropunctatus, Chray, Cat. p. 168. 



Agrees with S. sputator in general characters, but the granules 

 on the flanks are considerably larger than those on the middle of 

 the back. Brown (the very numerous minute black specks men- 

 tioned by Gray being no longer visible), tail and lower surfaces 

 lighter. From snout to vent 35 millim. ; tail 32 millim.
