158 DR. J. ANDERSON ON INDIAN REPTILES. [Feb. 2], 



Eumeces trivittatus, Gray, would seem to be more nearly 

 allied to E. macularias than to E. rufescens. It has five keels, 

 and thirty-six longitudinal rows of scales round the body, and forty- 

 five to forty-nine transverse rows between the axils. The nasals 

 form a suture in front of the prefrontal, and the postfrontals a 

 broad suture in front of the vertical. The white vertebral and 

 lateral bands are margined with darker brown than the intervening 

 brown space, and the shields of the head are partially margined 

 with dark brown. The fore limb when laid forward reaches to the 

 angle of the mouth, and the posterior limo about halfway between 

 the two axils.

1 Eumeces indicus (Gray), Gthr. I. c. p. 89. 



This species agrees in its transparent eyelid and all its other details 

 with Giinther's E. himalayanus. 



I have lately received two specimens from Darjeeling, from an eleva- 

 tion of 4500 feet. 



Eumeces indicus, Gray ; Gthr. I. c. p. 89. 



Three specimens have from thirty-six to forty longitudinal rows 

 of scales round the body, with about fifty transverse series between 



the axil and groin.

The back of the young specimen is olive-brown, with two longi- 

 tudinal series of black spots from before the shoulder to beyond the 

 tail. The broad lateral band is well defined and covered with white 

 spots, and has an ill-defined white line below it, extending from the 

 angle of the mouth to the groin ; the sides of the throat and the belly 

 below it are marbled with fine black spots. Upper surface of the 

 limbs finely spotted with black. 



Hab. Darjeeling, Geelsaugor, and Assam. 



Eumeces albopunctatus, Gray. 



This specimen unfortunately wants the tail ; the body measures 

 2" 4'". The back has four lines of small dots along its middle ; and 

 the blackish brown of the sides is spotted with white. Length of 

 hind limb 6'". 



The largest specimen in this museum measures 5" 4'", of which 

 the tail forms 3" 9'". There are thirteen, and all have four dorsal 

 lines of small dots. Blyth's specimens, said to have come from
