my adult with the young type does not reveal any structural cha- 

 racter that would entitle me to separate them. 



Cyrtodactyliw yarhandensis. 



Cyrtodactylus yarkandensis, n. sp. (Fig. 3.) 



Upper surface uniformly smoothly granular, some of the granules 

 much larger than the others, especially on the hinder part of the 

 body, none tubercular. Two pointed tubercles on the under sur- 

 face of the tail at the side of the vent posteriorly ; three large 

 tubercles on the side of the tail at the base, the external large and 

 pointed. (Tail absent in both specimens.) Ventral scales 'small, 

 and those on the throat granular. Nostril over the suture of the 

 first labial and rostral defined in front by the rostral, below by the 

 first labial, and behind and above by a semicircle of two or three 

 shields, the upper one of which is the largest. Ten to twelve 

 upper labials, the first sometimes confluent with the rostral ; nine 

 lower labials. Two pairs of chin-shields, the anterior the largest 

 with the rostral wedged between its plates. (Females, no femoral 

 pores.) Ear small, obliquely oval from above downwards and back- 

 wards. Toes moderately long, slender. 



Bluish grey, with seven broad blackish waved bands, with a 

 well-marked black posterior margin. 



Length : snout to vent 2", vent to tip of tail * ?, snout to oc- 

 ciput -fc", length of fore limb T V, of hind limb 44", fourth toe

This species is from Yarkand; but I can give no information 

 regarding the elevation at which it was found. 



Agamule. 



Calotes versicolor, Daud. 



I have received seven fine adults of this species from Nasrick 

 with a much more elevated crest than occurs in specimens found in 

 the eastern side of India. They are all coloured in the same way : 

 viz. the general colour is light, rather olive-yellow, the head and the 

 anterior half of the trunk being suffused with pink, which is most 

 intense on the crest and throat; the hinder half of the body is 

 speckled with blackish, and the upper surface of the tail is marked 

 with broad dark-coloured bars. The specimens are much larger
