than broad, not depressed. Snout shoi't, rounded, shorter 

 than (Hstance between orbit and ear-opening. Body slender ; 

 limbs short. Granules on snout and on vertex approxi- 

 mately equal ; only a few enlarged seales on the latter. 

 Dorsal keeled tubercles in 12 rows, smaller than in P. siuni- 

 ensis, farther apart. Ear-opening smaller than half the 

 diameter of the eye, subcircular. Nostril between rostral, 

 first labial, and three small seales ; 6 upper and the same 

 number of lower labials. There are 7 prteanal pores, arranged 

 as in the preceding species. Colour diirk brown above, 

 slightly marbled with paler ; labials marked with pale bronai ; 

 throat shaded with dark brown ; ventral surface pale brown.

Both this and the preceding species differ from Boulenger's 

 definition of the genus in the ' Catalogue of Lizards ' in that 

 the male is provided with prseanal pores. 



The species is founded on a single specimen obtained by 

 one of the collectors of the Indian Museum. 



Hemidactylus subtriedroides , sp, u. 



Hemidactylvs inacidatus, D. & B., Anderson, Res. Yunnan Exped. 

 p. 800. 



Closely allied to Hemidactylus triedrus (Daud.), but re- 

 sembling H. subtriedrus, Jerdon, superficially. Lepidosis as 

 in H. triedrus, except that the dorsal tubercles are smaller, 

 less prominent and farther apart, and that the enlarged 

 seales on the proximal part of the tail are longer and more 

 spine-like. In the male there are 14 to 16 pores, widely 

 separated mesially; 5 or 6 lamellae under inner, 8 under 

 median digits. Distance from orbit to snout approximately 

 equal to that from ear-opening to orbit. Head and body 

 depressed ; tail depressed, flat above, tapering to a point, 

 broad at the base, flatter and broader at the base than that 

 of H. Brookii, Gray. The colour has completely faded (see 

 Anderson, he. cit.).
