the latter frequently followed by a third or a series. Some 

 are freckled by white specks on body and tail. Many 

 have dark spots on the upper edge of the tail. The bluish 

 white spot on the occipital scale is always present. 



The females are not so much spotted as the males and 

 such marks as they have appear to be less distinct. 



This species is separated from A. bimaculatus by its 

 smaller scales, by the sharp keel on the largest scales in 

 front of the thigh, by the greater number of loreal series, 

 by the separation of the supraorbital series on the fore- 

 head, and by the coloration. It has six to eight loreal series 

 and the supraorbitals are separated by one to three series 

 of granules in seven of each eight individuals. There are 

 about twenty-three lamellae under phalanges ii and iii of 

 the fourth toe. This may be one of the two species A. 

 maculatus described by Dr. Gray, but it is not to be de- 

 termined from his description.

 times as long as broad, longer than the tibia, crown flat-

 forehead to occiput concave ; frontal ridges low ; upper 

 head scales not keeled ; scales of the supraorbital semi-

 usually separated from the occipital scale, which is about 

 the size of the ear-opening, by one to two rows ; seven or 

 eight indistinctly keeled supraoculars, smooth in young, 

 mostofteu in contact with the supraorbitals ; rostral canthus 

 sharp, straight, canthal scales three to four ; loreal rows 

 three to four ; six labials to below the centre of the eye ;
