1875. ] DR. A. GUNTHER ON INDIAN REPTILES. 225 
volume on Indian reptiles similar to his works on the Mammals and 
Birds of India. To obtain a collection of Himalayan reptiles, with 
which he was least familiar, he undertook a journey into the Hima- 
_ layas and Khassya. He collected a considerable number of specimens, 
which he brought with him to England and presented to the Trustees 
of the British Museum. The work of systematically arranging and 
naming this collection was carried on jointly by him and myself, and 
had proceeded as far as the genus T'ropidonotus, when it was inter- 
tupted by the illness from which he never recovered. Being able to 
trust to his wonderful memory, he had not always taken the precaution 
of labelling the specimens with thelocality where heobtainedthem; and 
I am therefore ignorant of the habitat of a part of the specimens 
which were still unexamined at the time of his death. 
CaBRITA BRUNNEA, Blanford, Journ. As. Soc. 1870. p- 335. 
Seven specimens from various localities, collected by Mr. Blanford 
and Col. Beddome, do not seem to me to differ from C. lesche- 
naultit. 
Opuiops. 
To this genus I refer :— 
1. Oputors seERDoNtI (Blyth)= Cabrita jerdonii (Bedd., Blanf.) 
=Pseudophiops theobaldi (Jerd. P. A. S. B. 1870, p. 71)= Ophiops 
bivittatus (Bedd.). 
2. Opnriops BEDpomt (Jerd. P. A. S. B. 1870, p, 71) = Ophiops 
monticola (Bedd. Madr. Journ. Med. Sc. 1870). 
Mocoa TRAvaANncorica (Bedd.) 
is represented by a series of specimens of different ages in Col. 
Beddome’s collection ; it is scarcely distinguishable from M. éiline- 
ata (Gray). 
RisTELLA RURKII (Gray). 
Specimens found by Col. Beddome in the Toracada valley (alt. 
4000-5000 ft.) agree so well with the few notes by which this species 
has been characterized, that I am inclined to refer them to it. It is 
very distinct from R. éravancorica (Bedd.). 
Evprepes Beppo, Jerd. P. A. 8. B. 1870, p. 73. 
is not specifically distinct from Tiliqua rufescens. 
Evupreres (TILiqua) BREVIS. 
Eyelid scaly; a pair of supranasal shields; the preefrontal is 
broadly in contact with the rostral and vertical. The fifth upper 
labial is below the orbit and much longer than high. Opening of 
the ear of moderate width, without tubercles in front. Scales with 
three, and in adult specimens with five strong keels, in 29 longitu- 
dinal and 25 transverse series (the latter counted from the axil of 
the fore leg to the vent). Praeanal and subcaudal scales not enlarged.
