From what can be gathered from the short remarks of the above- 

 cited authors, the Andanians J/rt6«/rt is surely distinct from the other 

 species of the genus. It is said to have only 26 scales round the 

 body, the dorsals feebly tricarinate, the middle keel being weaker 

 than the lateral ones. The supranasals are in contact behind the 

 rostral. Above uniform, somewhat pale brown, paler on the sides 

 towards the belly, and with a few indistinct darker spots; limbs 

 spotted with white and dark brown ; below yellowish white ; tail 

 leaden grej'. 



From snout to vent about 200 millim., tail about 300. 



Andaman Islands.
