134 Mr. N. Ko>eii on the Lizards in the 



scales round the middle of tlie body. Dorsal scales very 

 large, much larger than the ventrals, pointing backwards and 

 downwards, smooth. The median series of the dorsal scales 

 keeled, forming a slight ridge. Ventral scales strongly 

 keeled, larger on the sides of the belly than on the middle. 

 The adpressed hind limb reaches the slioulder. Fourth 

 finger as long as the tliird or very slightly longer. Tail 

 compressed, with a slight upper ridge. Caudal scales strongly 

 keeled. 



The specimen is preserved in spirit. The coloration is

This species is characterized from all the others by its

 the orbit, with subangular canthus rostralis. Tympanum
