392 Dr. J. E. Gray on some new species of Reptiles. 



** Second labial shield very high, forming the front of the suhor- 

 orbital pit, the third large; back uniform, without any white 

 lateral streak. 



3. Trimesurus bicolor. 



Green ; lips, chin and beneath whitish, without any lateral 

 streak ; scales keeled ; superciliary shield rather narrow, small. 



Hab. Sikkim ? 



This species is much larger than any of the white-streaked 

 species I have seen. 



Farias maculata. 



Pale brown (in spirits) ; back, a central series of large broad 

 irregular black spots, rather cross-shaped in front, and more 

 transverse and band-like behind, and with two series of smaller 

 squarish spots on each side ; belly pale brown, darker marbled, 

 with a rather wavy broad brown streak on each side. Head 

 black, with a narrow white streak from the eyebrows to the ears, 

 and a streak from the back edge of the eyes to the gape. Lips 

 white varied. Tail, end pale broAvn. 



Hab. Sikkim. 



Length 10 inches, but probably yoimg. In the older speci- 

 mens the colours may not be so defined; the second labial shield 

 very large, edging the frontal pit ; the shields on the front of the 

 nose three, distinct, the central one small, the others large ; 

 superciliary shields large, they and the scales all smooth. 



Fam. BuFONiDiE. 



Bufo scaber, Daud. 



Hab. Sikkim, 9000 feet above the sea. 



This species is common in most parts of India, also in Java. 



Fam. C^ciLiADuE. 



Ichthyophis glutinosus. Gray, Cat. Brach. B.M. 60. 

 CcEcilia glutinosa, Linn. C. viscosa, Latr. 



Hab. Khassia. 



I do not sec any difference between this and the specimen 

 from Ceylon. Dr. Cantor records it as found in Singapore and 

 Assam.
