parvia, fere sequalibus ; cauda corpore breviore ; capite magno, 

 parum depresso, ociilis magnis, pupilla verticali, meatu auditorio 

 parvo ; pede anteriore fere femur, posteriore axillam attingente ; 

 poris inguinalibus duobus distantibus: supcnie fulvus, albo con- 

 fertim maculatus. 



Hah. liaud procul a Bandar Abbas juxta litus sinus Persici 

 {Doria). 



A single specimen was obtained near Bandar Abbas by tlie 

 Marquis Giacomo Doria, who informs me tliat it was found on 

 the sand of a torrent-bed. This specimen belongs to the 

 Turin Museum ; and I am indebted to the kindness of Count 

 Salvadori for the loan of it and of Gymnodactylus Jieterocercus 

 for description. 



A somewhat similar arrangement of imbricate scales beneath 

 the toes is found in the West-African Stenodactylus caudi- 

 cinctusy C. Dum. This is a very different form, having 

 affinities to Euhlepliarus. It is the type of Psilodactylus^ 

 Gray. 



Agamuea, gen. nov. 



Genus novum Geckotidarum propter squamas digitosque ad Gymno- 

 dactylum aceedens, dorso tuberculato, palpebris inferioribus nul- 

 lis, pupilla verticali, dentibus numerosis a3qualibusque, lingua 

 antice brevissime fissa ; sed membris elongatis, cauda subcylindrica, 

 valde flexibili, nunquam regenita, Agamce simile. 



8. Agamura cruralis. 



A. grisea fusco transversim fasciata ; dorso granulate, granulis vix 

 convexis tuberculisque majoribus frequentibus instructo ; membris 

 elongatis, pede posteriore oculum attingente, baud tuberculatis, 

 nisi interdum supra femur ; capite brevi, alto, supralabialibus 

 utrinque 12-14, meatu auditorio mediocri ; cauda verticillata in- 

 ermi, subtus serie unica scutorum polygonaHum majorum in- 

 structa ; poris inguinalibus in maribus duobus. 



Hah. inter lapidcs in Gedrosia hand frequens. 



This is a remarkable form allied to Spatalura Carteri, Gray, 

 and forming with it a distinct subfamily of Geckoes, distin- 

 guished by their very different tail, which is very flexible and 

 apparently never reproduced. In Spatalura the tail is com- 

 pressed and fringed above and below. 



A second species of Agamura is Gymnodactylus per sicus^ C 

 Dum., very closely allied to A. cruralis^ but distinguished by 

 having rather shorter limbs, smaller car-orifice, the upper part 

 of the thigh and front of the tarsus tuberculato, and the rostral 

 shield vertically divided.
