the side of the tail and extending to the arm and often also to the leg. 
Tips of fingers and claws frequently white. The specimens when dry with 
a very strong violet-blue metallic gloss, especially on the dark lateral band. 
Lower parts greenish pearl-white. 
Female. Brown above with a lighter median zone on the back, on each 
side of which is a darker band edged with a more or less strong blackish 
streak or confluent spots. Sides of head and body with a dark brown band 
edged above and below with a very sharp white streak, the upper of which 
extends from the supraciliary scales to the fore part of the tail, the lower 
commencing from the fore angle of the mouth and running along the up- 
per labials and across the ear to the groin and over the arm. Lower parts 
yellowish-white. The metallic gloss feebly marked. The female is represen- 
ted in BovrENGER's fig. 1. & 1. a. (tab. XXIII.) 
15. Lygosoma callistictum Pres & Dor. 
G. A. BOULENGER, Catal. Lizards, 1887, III. p. 295. 
À single specimen from Erima. 
The distance between the end of the snout and the for limb is con- 
tained once and one eighth in the distance between axilla and groin. The 
hind limb reaches the elbow. Tail twice as long as head and body. Only 
four labials anterior to the large subocular. Frontal in contact with 
the first, second, and third supraoculars; 2—8 scales round the body; 
dorsal scales very feebly bi-or tricarinate; 39 lamellae under the 
fourth toe. ; 
Brown above; a fulvous streak along the middle of the head and 
nape, indistinctly prolonged on the back to the thail; a similar but in- 
distinct streak on each side of the back. Lower surface pearl-white, on the 
hinder part of the tail grey. 
I refer this specimen with some doubt to L. callistictum Pres as it 
differs in many points from PETERS & Dorta’s and BoULENGER’S descrip- 
tions and very strikingly resembles the specimens which have been descri- 
bed and figured by Dr. v. LrprH DE JEUDE as a variety of L. callistictum, 
from the same locality.!
