beneath the toes ; but the toes are freer, and the bases of the toes are 

 slender and subcylindrical. It differs from CEdura and Straphura 

 in the plates under the toes being of a uniform size, and closely im- 

 bricate. 



Lygodactylus strigatus, sp. nov. 



Grey brown (in spirits) above; crown vermiculated and marbled 

 with black ; chin and beneath white, with a black streak commencing 

 from the nostril and continued, enclosing the eve, on the side of the 

 neck and front of the body ; tail pale brown'; scales on the back 

 very minute, of the crown rather larger ; upper labial shields narrow ; 

 the lower labial shields 7-7, the four in front of each side larger, be- 

 coming gradually smaller ; chin-shield six-sided, with two or three 

 smaller shields on each side behind it. 



Uab. South-Eastern Africa {Dr. Kirk). 



Body and head 1^ inch long; tail 1 inch. 



HOMODACTYLUS, U. g. 



The toes free, broad, depressed, rather broader and rounded at the 

 ends ; thumb broad like the toes ; all granular at the base, and with 

 a single scries of broad transverse plates beneath the dilated end, and 

 without any free compressed terminal joints or claws. Back with 

 large tubercles. Tail with rings of large tubercular scales. No pre- 

 anal or femoral pores. 



This genus is like PheUuma in the form of the toes ; but the thumb 

 is dilated at the end like the toes ; the back is tubercular, and the 

 tail ringed and tubercular. 



In the latter character it resembles Tarentola, which has the same 

 habit of living in houses ; but it has no compressed joints on the 

 middle toes of the hands and feet. 



HoMODACTYLUS TvRNERI, Sp. DOV. 



Pale brown ; head blackish, tubercular ; back with sixteen longi- 

 tudinal series of large, oblong, more or less keeled, black-brown tuber- 

 cles, with a central series of much smaller similar tubercles down the 

 vertebral line. The outer side of the limbs with similar tubercles, 

 which are largest on the outer side of the fore legs and hinder side 

 of the thighs and hind legs. Tail with rather distant rings of similar, 

 but rather more acute tubercles, which make six longitudinal series 

 on the base of the tail ; underside pale brown, with smooth subequal 

 scales ; chin with three band-like shields in front. 



Hab. South-Eastern Africa {Dr. Kirk). In the houses. 



^'ar. or junior ? 



Pale brown, with the tubercles paler and with some opaque-white 

 tubercles intermixed. Head with four longitudinal brown streaks 

 up the face to the forehead ; a brown streak on the upper margin of 

 the temple, five unequal, rather irregular, dark bauds across the 

 back, and some more obscure paler bands across the tail. The toes 

 appear scarcely so much dilated ; but in other respects they are like 

 the two larger dark specimens. 



I have named this species in honour of J. Aspinall Turner, Esq.,
