One specimen, with rudiments of claws on the first, second, 

 and fifth digits. 



This new species is very closely allied to T. mauritanicay 

 L. (Boulenger, 'Catalogue of Lizards/ i. p. 196). It diflfers 

 in the following points : — 



(1) The nostril is pierced between the first labial and three 



shields ; in T. mauritanica, L., and, so far as I know, 

 in all the other species of Tarentoht, it is pierced 

 between the first labial and two shields. 



(2) The median cleft in the upper part of the rostral is 



more distinct in this species. 



(3) A much greater number of larger tubercles on the 



body as well as on the limbs and the tail.

Snout not prominent, a little shorter than the distance 

 between the orbit and the ear-opening. Tail a little more 

 than twice as long as head and body. Rudimentary limbs 

 small. Rostral triangular. Nostril pierced in the lower 

 portion of the nasal, which forms a suture with its fellow on 

 the snout. The anterior part of the nasal fused with the 

 first upper labial. No supranasals. A pair of large plates 

 between the nasals and the prefrontal ; the latter seven-sided, 

 not so broad as the frontal. Three enlarged scales on the outer
