series of larger scales. None of the dorsal scales with a distinct 
keel or spine; scales of the limbs and tail distinctly, those of the 
belly very faintly keeled. Head broad, high; snout very sbort, 
the nostril being midway between the end of the snout and the 
angle of the ocular slit. Limbs of moderate length, hind limb ex- 
tending nearly to the gular fold. Sides of the head and neck with 
conical tubercle-like scales. Yellowish brown, with a series of 
irregular large blackish-brown blotches along each side of the 
back ; sometimes the whole back reticulated with brown.

49. Grammatophora temporalis, sp. n. 
No larger scales scattered between the others, those on the 
back small, shorter than the labial shields ; a slight dorsal crest 
runs from the nape to the end of the trunk. Hind limbs very 
long, extending beyond the eye, if laid forwards. Nostril much 
nearer to the end of the snout than to the angle of the ocular 
slit. A few prominent scales in the middle between the tym- 
panum and the lateral fold of the neck. A white band along 
the lips, below the tympanum to the lateral fold of the neck ; a 
black band above it from the eye to the tympanum ; a white 
streak above the black band, more or less distinctly continued 
along the side of the auterior part of the trunk. Back with 
more or less complete black cross bars, the anterior only being 
distinct in adult examples. Tail more or less distinctly — 
annulated.
