Snout short, obtuse. Lower eyelid with an undivided trans- 

 parent disk. Xostril behind the vertical of the suture between the 

 rostral and the first labial ; this suture very oblique ; normally no 

 postnasal ; anterior loreal in contact with the first labial ; supra- 

 nasals in contact behind the rostral ; frontonasal broader than long, 

 usually in contact with the truncate anterior angle of the frontal ; 

 latter as long as, or a little longer than, the frontoparietals and 

 interparietal together, in contact with the second and third supra- 

 oculars ; four supraoculars, second largest, and usually touching the 

 prsefrontal ; four or five (rarely six) supraciliaries ; frontoparietals 

 two, smaller than the interparietal; parietals usually meeting behind 

 the interparietal ; one pair of nuchals ; four labials anterior to 

 the subocular ; latter not narrowed interiorly, about twice as large 

 as the neighbouring labials. Ear-opening oval, about as large as 

 a lateral scale, with two or three pointed lobules anteriorly, 

 one of which usually is long. jS^uchal and dorsal scales strongly 

 tricarinate ; 32 or 34 scales round the middle of the body, dorsals 

 a little larger than laterals and ventrals. The adpressed limbs 

 meet or slightly overlap, or fail to meet. Subdigital lamella} 

 smooth. Tail about once and a half as long as head and body. 

 Olive or brown above, with a more or less distinct lighter vertebral 

 band, and two narrow whitish lines on each side, the lower com- 

 mencing below the eye and passing through the car ; these light 

 streaks may be edged with black lines or bands ; the upper surfaces 

 sometimes largely spotted with black, the sutures of the upper 

 head-shields usually black; lower surfaces yellowish or greenish 

 •white.
