shields as long as that between the anals and a little shorter 
than the intergular shield; the length of the outer border of the 
pectoral shield exceeds that of the humeral and equals the me- 
dian suture of the humeral and pectoral shields; suture between 
the abdominal shields much longer than that between the fe- 
morals, as long as the front lobe of the plastron. Head large; 
snout very short; upper jaw neither hooked nor bicuspid; the 
length of the suture between the frontal shields equals the width 
of the interorbital space. Carapace dark brown, marginals black 
beneath; plastron yellow, bordered with black; head pale brown 
above, speckled with black. 
Length of shell 21 centim. 
A single specimen from Bardera. 
This Tortoise is intermediate between S. sinuatus and S. né- 
gricans. It agrees with the former in the serrated posterior border 
of the carapace, with the latter in the absence of notch and 
cusps to the beak; and differs from both in the more elongate 
second and third vertebral shields.

2. Hemidactylus jubensis, sp. n. (Plate III, fig. 1). 
Snout rounded, longer than the distance between the eye and 
the ear-opening, once and a half the diameter of the orbit; fore- 
head with a rhomboidal concavity; ear-opening oval, oblique, 
half the diameter of the eye. Body and limbs moderate. Digits 
moderate, inner well developed; 6 or 7 lamellae under the 
inner digits, 9 or 10 under the third and fourth. Head covered 
with granules of unequal size; rostral four-sided, not twice as 
broad as deep, with median cleft above ; nostril pierced between 
the rostral and four or five small scales; 10 or 11 upper labials; 
8 or 9 lower labials; symphysial large, pentagonal, twice as long 
as the adjacent labials, followed by a pair of large chin-shields 
forming a median suture; one or two smaller chin-shields on 
each side. Upper surface of body covered with small granules 
intermixed with moderately large, round or oval, feebly keeled
