Head high, with strongly elevated projecting supracUiary borders 

 forming an angle posteriorly ; canthus rostralis strongly projecting ; 

 snout a little longer than the diameter of the orbit ; tympanum 

 much smaller than the eye-opening ; upper head-scales small, sub- 

 equal, smooth ; no enlarged scales on the temple ; twelve upper and 

 as many lower labials. Gular sac well developed, with serrated 

 anterior edge ; gi.lar scales much smaller than ventrals, smooth. 

 Body very strongly compressed. Nuchal and dorsal crests continuous, 

 the former scarcely higher than the latter, its height equalling 

 nearly the diameter of the orbit ; it begins on a line with the 

 posterior border of the orbit ; the scales of the crest are triangular, 

 with a very regular basal series of large quadrangular ones. 

 Dorsal scales small, equal, roundish or squarish, scarcely imbricate, 

 smooth, without any enlarged ones ; ventral scales large, perfectly 

 smooth. Limbs above vnth equal smooth scales ; third and fourth
