REPTILIA FROM BURMA 601 



62. Dipsas ochracea, Theob. 

 Bhamò, Me-tan-jà (Kakhien Hills). 



63. Pareas andersonii, sp. n. (pi. V. fig. 3). 



Internasals small, about one third the length of the prefron- 

 tals; latter shield entering the eye, between the praeocular and 

 the supraocular; frontal two thirds the length of the parietals; 

 supraoculars moderate, not quite half the width of the frontal; 

 a small loreal ; a small prae- and a small postocular ; a band- 

 like subocular, extending from the postocular to the praeocular 

 and the loreal ; temporals 2-f-3; seven upper labials, seventh 

 very long; three pairs of large chin-shields. Scales in 15 rows, 

 dorsals not enlarged but' feebly keeled. Ventrals 155 or 153 \ 

 anal single; subcaudals 38 or 46 pairs. Dark brown above, with 

 distant small black spots with a white dot; labial region spotted 

 black and white ; lower parts white, with closely set squarish 

 black spots. 



Total length 350 millim. ; tail 52. 

 Bhamò and Kakhien Hills. — Two specimens. 

 This species, which is named in honour of D. r John Anderson, 

 F. R. S., appears to be very closely allied to Theobald's P. mo- 

 destus, from Rangoon , which is only known to me from the 

 description. The presence of two praeoculars and the uniform 

 pale yellowish lower parts appear to distinguish the latter 

 species sufficiently from P. andersonii. Another close ally, from 

 Siam and Southern China, has recently been described by Boet- 

 tger, under the name of P. moellendorffi; but it differs in the 

 smooth dorsal scales and the absence of a postocular shield.
