504 DR. A. GUNTHER ON INDIAN REPTILES. [ Nov. 11, 
by about fifteen large, smooth, imbricate, obtusely pointed scales, 
in five transverse series of three each. 
Colour yellow, each of the vertebral and costal plates with a black 
margin in front and on the sides, but without black on the hinder 
margin. Each marginal plate with a black margin in front. Ster- 
num entirely yellow, with a broad cuneiform longitudinal black 
band in the middle of each abdominal plate. 
The shell of the single specimen, obtained in Sindh, is 4? inches 
long. Also the limbs and the skull are preserved. 
Emys eGrayi. (Plate XXXVIII.) 
Form.—Shell much depressed, with an obtuse median ridge along 
all the vertebral plates; no costal ridge (in the adult). The upper 
shell is subtruncated anteriorly, and provided with a very small notch 
posteriorly. Lateral margins slightly reverted, posterior not serrated. 
Width of the sternum between the axillary and inguinal incisions 
equal and more than one-half of its length. Sternum truncated in 
front, and with a deep, obtuse-angular incision behind. 
Plates.—The areolz have disappeared, but there is still a large 
fontanelle visible in the middle of the sternum. Nuchal plate broad, 
quadrangular, broader behind than in front. All the vertebrals 
broader than long; the first quadrangular, with the front margin 
-eonyex, and with the hinder straight. Caudal plates nearly square. 
Gulars longer than broad, the suture between them being much 
longer than that between the postgulars. Postgulars, pectorals, and 
abdominals nearly equally long, but much shorter than preeanals. 
The suture between the anals is rather shorter than their posterior 
margin. Axillary and inguinal plates large. 
Colour.—Upper parts chestnut-brown, each vertebral and costal 
plate with an 8-like yellow figure ; each marginal plate with a yellow 
0-like figure, the enclosed brown spot lighter in the centre. The flat 
portion of the sternum brownish black, each plate with a narrow 
yellow margin. Each marginal plate with a narrow black margin 
on the lower side, and with a larger or smaller round black spot. 
The shell of a single example, 32 inches long, was obtained at 
Bussora*. 
TERATOLEPIS, g. n. 
Form of the head geckoid, covered with small non-imbricate 
scales. Apparently no external ear. Trunk somewhat depressed, 
covered with imbricate scales, those on the back being keeled, of 
moderate size, and about twice as large as those on the abdomen. 
Legs well developed; five clawed toes in front and behind; each toe 
* Whilst this paper was passing through the press, Dr. Gray directed my 
attention to a young example in the British Museum obtained on the Euphrates 
Expedition. It is preserved in spirits, the shell being 1f inch long. The shell 
is coloured as in the adult, but provided with-a distinct costal ridge. Neck with 
numerous parallel yellow longitudinal bands, some of which advance along the 
side of the head to the tip of the snout. Legs and tail (which is 12 inch long) 
wiih yellow stripes. Toes broadly webbed.
