 between the supraoculars and the supraciliaries ; occipital shorter

 scales of very unequal size ; two or three upper temporals border 

 the parietal, and the masseteric and tympanic are distinct and large. 

 No gular fold; 15 to 17 gnlar scales on a line between the collar 

 and the third pair of chin-shields ; collar with serrated edge, com- 

 posed of 6 or 7 plates. Dorsal scales hexagonal, longer than broad, 

 strongly and diagonally keeled, slightly imbricate ; lateral scales 

 keeled, smaller than dorsals, alternately two and three corresponding 

 to the length of a ventral plate ; 37 to 40 scales across the middle 

 of the body. Yentrals in six longitudinal series, the second series 

 on each side from the median ventral line the largest; 25 or 26 

 transverse series. Prteanal shield large, bordered by a single series 

 of small scales. The hind limb reaches the axilla. Foot a little 

 longer than the head. Femoral pores 9 to 12. Tail about twice as

 posteriorly. Olive above, with small blackish dots and a broad dark-

 distinct along the side of the tail ; lower surfaces uniform greenish 

 white.
