Sepsina frontopartetalis. 
Snout obtuse, scarcely projecting beyond the labial margin; 
eye moderate ; lower eyelid scaly; ear-opening smaller than the 
eye-opening. Frontal divided into an anterior (frontal) and 
a posterior (frontoparietal) shield of equal length ; the frontal 
proper in contact with the first and second supraoculars, the 
frontoparietal with the second, third, and fourth; frontal 
angularly emarginate on each side by the first supraocular ; 
five supraoculars; nine supraciliaries; interparietal longer 
than broad, shorter than the frontoparietal; fourth upper 
labial entering the orbit. Twenty-eight scales round the 
middle of the body, equal. Limbs rather elongate, over- 
lapping when adpressed. ‘The fore limb, stretched forwards, 
reaches the anterior corner of the eye; hind limb rather more 
than half the length of the body. Tail twice as long as head 
and body. Brown above, each scale with the edges darker ; 
nape and anterior part of back with interrupted dark brown 
cross bands ; lower parts whitish.

A single specimen. 
The division of the frontal shield, whether or not an indi- 
vidual character, is particularly interesting as showing that 
the large frontal of Sepsina and allied genera originated 
through fusion with the frontoparietal. 
Chameleon cucullatus, Gray. 
This species has been known for nearly sixty years from a 
single female specimen. ‘The collection which yielded the 
novelties described in this paper contained several specimens 
of both sexes, the females agreeing perfectly with the type 
preserved in the British Museum. 
The male differs in the still more developed occipital lobe, 
the longer occipital process (the distance between the com-
