Dr. J. E. Gray on new Species of African Lizards. 383 



shields large, similar. Edge of the eyeUds reflexed, expanded ; pupil 

 large. Back with series of granular tubercles, those on the side 

 formed of three subequal, larger scales. Chin, throat, and belly 

 with smooth polygonal scales. 



This genus is very similar to Eublepharis {Hardujickit) in external 

 appearance and distribution of colour, but differs in the toes being 

 very much shorter, thicker, and cylindrical and tapering, in the 

 ends not being compressed and arched, but thick and cylindrical 

 like the bases, and in the under surface of the toes being covered 

 with small rough granules, like the under surface of the palms or soles 

 of the feet. It differs also in the tutiercles of the back being formed 

 of groups of three scales ; the central scales or tubercles on the 

 middle of the back are larger than those on each side of it, but on 

 the sides of the back the three scales are of nearly equal size. 



In Eublepharis the toes are compressed at the end, and have a 

 broad band-like scale beneath, and the tubercles of the back and sides 

 are all formed of a single large scale. 



PsiLODACTYLUS CAUDICINCT08. 



Stenodactylui caudicinctus, A. Dumcril, /. e. 



In spirits, pale whitish ; upper part of the head brown, edged with 

 a black horseshoe-shaped band behind ; cheek and side of the throat 

 black, varied ; back with two very broad irregular-edged black cross 

 bands ; tail dark, ringed. 



Hab. W. Africa; Old Calabar? 



EUPREPIS GVLARIS, Sp. UOV. 



Pale bronze-green brown (in spirit), with five narrow whitish 

 streaks from the occiput continued on the base of the tail ; crown 

 of the head uniform brown ; the central dorsal streak with a narrow 

 black edge on each side, the two lateral streaks scarcely dark-edged, 

 the upper one arising from the back edge of the eye, and the lower 

 from the pale scales on the upper lip ; the throat, the sides of the 

 face, and neck dark brown, white-speckled. The front edge of the 

 ears with a few very small thin scales. 



Hab. South-Eastem Africa. 



In the ' Catalogue of Lizards in the British Museum,' I regarded 

 these specimens from South Africa as varieties of the Euprepis quin- 

 quefasciatus from Western Africa ; but on recomparing these speci- 

 mens with other specimens received since, and with the specimens 

 brought home by Dr. Kirk, I am convinced that they are distinct. 



Euprepis Kirkii, sp. nov. 



Black-brown ; back with three uniform well-marked yellow streaks, 

 the middle one from the end of the nose to the base of the tail, the 

 lateral ones from the eyebrows and continued on the side of the base 

 of the tail, and Uil-end blue. There is a streak like the others, but 

 less distinct, on each side of the body, arising from the lips, continued 

 across the ear-hole, and obscurely continued on the side of the base 

 of the tail. The chin and underside of the body and base of the tail 

 whitish ; scales with three distinct keels ; two series of scales between
