in contact ; ahont twenty enlarged supraocular scales, the larger 

 ones keeled, arranged in four longitudinal series, separated from the 

 supraorbitals by a series of small scales ; occipital larger than the 

 ear-opening, separated from the supraorbitals by three or four scries 

 of scales ; six or seven loreal rows in the middle ; eight upper 

 labials. A distinct nuchal fold. Dorsal scales distinctly keeled, 

 hardly half as large as the ventrals, which are also keeled, and 

 passing gradually into the small granular scales of the sides. 

 Limbs slender ; digital expansions well developed. Tail with a 

 vertebral series of enlarged scales. Upper surfaces with metallic 

 gloss : a brown cross baud between the eyes ; loreal region black ; 

 lips spotted black and j-ellow ; back and tail with broad dark cross

Head about once and two thirds as long as broad, much longer 

 than the tibia ; forehead concave, no frontal ridges ; upper head- 

 scales smooth, or more or less distinctly tricarinate ; scales of the 

 supraorbital semicircles large, in contact medially ; supraocular 

 scales very variable in shape and in size, smooth or feebly keeled, 

 arranged in two longitudinal series, those of the inner series 

 the largest and sometimes much dilated transversely ; occipital 

 much larger than the ear-opening, separated from the supraorbitals 

 by one or two series of scales ; canthus rostralis angular, canthal 

 scales three or four ; loreal rows three or four ; six or seven labials 

 to below the centre of the eye ; ear-opening rather small, suboval. 

 Gular appendage moderately large, absent in the female ; gular 

 scales obtusely keeled. Body not compressed , no dorso-nuchal 

 fold. Dorsal scales small, rhomboidal, imbricate, keeled, passing 

 gradually into the laterals, which are smaller and granular ; ven- 

 trals larger than dorsals, rhomboidal, imbricate, sharply keeled. 

 The adpressed hind limb reaches the neck or the ear-opening ; 

 digital expansions moderate ; fifteen or sixteen lamellae under pha- 

 langes II. and III. of the fourth toe ; some enlarged granules on the 

 hinder side of the thighs. Tail cylindrical, not twice as long as 

 head and body, covered with equal, strongly keeled scales. Male 

 with enlarged postanal scales. Yellowish or reddish brown above, 

 with more or less distinct darker s^jots or markings ; frequently a
