Head very large, once and three fourths as long as broad, much 

 longer than the tibia ; upper surface slightly concave, covered with 

 irregular, rough, bony tubercles, largest on the snout, and especially 

 on the cauthus rostralis ; loreal rows four or five t ; supraocular 

 scales very small ; occipital indistinct ; squamosal bone forming a 

 strong tubercular ridge ; ej'e-opening small ; car-opening very 

 small ; nine or ten upper labials to below the centre of the eye. 

 Gular appendage very large, extending posteriorly to beyond the 

 thorax, a little smaller in the female ; its greater portion perfectly 

 naked. Body strongly compressed, with a small dorso-nuchal crest 



* O'Sliiuiglinessy remarks, Ann. & Mag. N. H. (4) xv. p. 271, that "the 

 second s])ecinion referred in Dr. Gray's Catah)gue to this species is a Urostro- 

 phm vautieri." As I find in another boltki labelled Uni.^trophus vauticri a 

 specimen of Anolis eqiiestris, it is clear that Gray never committed the error 

 •which has been attributed to him, but that a confusion of bottles has taken 

 place. 



t The loreal rows arc counted in a vertical series in front of the orbit.
