 Bnout in the female ; in the former the width of the head is contained 

 once and two thirds to once and three fourths in the length, in the 

 latter it is contained at least twice ; in both sexes the length of the 

 head slightly exceeds that of the tibia ; snout much depressed, fore- 

 head sljglitly concave ; no frontal ridges ; upper head-scales smooth ; 

 scales of the supraorbital semicircles large, in cojitact medially : six 

 to ten enlarged, smooth supraocidar scales, separated from the supra- 

 orbitals by one or two series of granules ; occipital nearly as large 

 as the ear-opening, separated from the supraorbitals by one or two 

 series of scales ; canthus rostralis rather obtuse, canthal scales four 

 or five ; loreal rows five ; six or seven labials to below the centre of 

 the eye; ear-opening rather large, suboval. Gular appendage 

 rather small, not developed in the female ; gular scales smooth. 

 Body not compressed ; no dorso-nuchal fold. Dorsal scales very 

 small, granular, smooth, uniform in size ; ventral scales larger, sub- 

 hexagonal, not or but slightly imbricate, smooth. Limbs elongate 

 and slender ; the hind limb reaches the front border of the orbit in 

 the male, between the latter point and the end of the snout in the 

 female ; digital expansions well developed ; twenty-one lamella? 

 under phalanges ii, and iii. of the fourth toe. Tail very slightly 

 compressed, nearly twice as long as head and body. Male with 

 enlarged postanal scales. Pale grey above, variegated with brown ;

 temple ; four more or less distinct brown chevron-shaped markings 

 across the back ; limbs with brown cross bars ; lower surfaces
