transverse rows of small hexagonal chin-shields. Dorsal 

 scales uniform, minutely granular • ventrals much larger, 

 roundish-hexagonal, subimbricate. Digits one third webbed, 

 strongly dilated, with ten or eleven angularly curved lamellae 

 under the median toes. A short angular series of eleven 

 pra3anal pores (merely indicated, the specimen being a female) . 

 Tail cylindrical, slightly depressed, covered with uniform 

 small flat scales, largest inferiorly. Pale reddish brown above, 

 brownish white inferiorly ; a dark line on the loreal region ;

A single female specimen, from Murray Island, collected 

 by the Eev. S. Macfarlane. 



This species is so closely allied to those of the genus 

 Lepidodactylus that the propriety of separating it from the 

 latter appears to me somewhat doubtful. However, by its 

 undivided infradigital lamellae it agrees with the genus Geckoy 

 as at present defined. 



Homojpholis macrolepisy sp. n. 



Head oviform, depressed, its depth contained twice in its 

 length ; snout as long as the distance between the eye and 

 the ear, scarcely longer than the diameter of the orbit ; fore- 

 head and interorbital space concave; ear-opening small, 

 roundish-subtriangular. Head covered with small granules, 

 which are considerably larger on the snout ; rostral six-sided, 

 twice as broad as long, its three upper sides in contact with 

 the anterior nasal and an internasal ; nostril pierced between 

 the rostral and six scales, the two anterior of which are the 

 largest ; eleven or twelve upper and eleven lower labials ; 

 none of the lower labials deeper than broad ; mental small, 

 trapezoid; a row of small chin-shields, the two median in 

 contact with the mental. Dorsal scales larger than ventrals ; 

 about eighty-five scales round the middle of the body. Limbs 

 as in H. Walilhergii. Tail with imbricate scales as on the 

 body, on the upper surface much smaller than on the lower. 

 Uniform greyish above.
