REPTILIA 



Goniurosaurus, gen. no v. 



Digits moderate ; otherwise exactly as in Aelurosaurus. Body covered with ex- 

 cessively small, flat juxtaposed scales and larger tubercle-like scales. Upper and 

 lower eyelids well developed, as in Aelurosaurus (Geckonidae) and in the 

 Eublepharidae. Pupil vertical. Tail elongate with whorls of scales proximally. 

 That the tail is capable of being curled up is evident from its position in the 

 type preserved in alcohol. Possibly this genus should also contain Pentadactylus 

 brunneus Cope, which Boulenger placed provisionally in Aelurosaurus. 



Goniurosaurus hainanensis, sp. nov. 



Habit slender. Head depressed, subtriangular, distinct from neck ; snout 

 pointed, distance from anterior border of eye to tip of snout equal to distance 

 from posterior border of eye to ear opening ; ear opening a small, narrow, almost 

 vertical slit. Body long, somewhat depressed. Limbs rather long, thin. Scales 

 of top of head, body, limbs, and tail small, uniform flat granules, of varying 

 shapes ; among these on the back more or less regular longitudinal series of 

 enlarged tubercular scales occur ; these are also scattered over the upper surfaces 

 of the limbs and are present on the proximal half of the tail in twelve whorls, 

 which are not complete below. Scales of all the lower surfaces larger than the 

 contour scales of the upper surfaces, polygonal, subequal. Male with twenty- 

 nine preanal pores in an angular series. Rostral scale one and one-half times 

 as broad as high ; separated from the nostril by two enlarged superposed scales, 

 the anterior nasals; the nostril lies behind these, and is surrounded elsewhere by 

 small scales ; it is not in contact with a supralabial. There are no other enlarged 

 scales except the supralabials, ten in number, and a few enlarged granules on top 

 of the nose. Mental large, an imperfect equilateral triangle. Tail long, slender, 

 a little shorter than the distance from vent to tip of nose. 



Color very dark brown, almost black ; limbs brown, belly white. A white 

 band reaching around the back of the head from eye to eye ; a white band across 

 body near the fore limbs, one across the middle of the body and one across the 

 body near the hind limbs. Three white rings around the tail, which is almost 

 black above and below. The extreme tip of the tail is white. 



Type. — No. 7104, Mus. Comp. Zool., a single specimen, taken 16 November, 

 1906, on Mt. Wuchi, Central Hainan, by a Japanese collector of Mr. Alan Owston. 



Glauconia carltoni, sp. nov. 



Snout rounded ; supraocular present, very small ; rostral extending almost to 

 level of eyes ; about twice as broad as the nasal, which is completely divided into 

 two ; ocular bordering the lip for a considerable distance between two labials, the 

 first of which reaches to the level of the nostril only ; five lower labials. Scales
