This species differs from G. marmoratus, to which the first 

 specimens received from Celebes were referred by Peters and 

 Doria, myself and F. Miiller, in the larger ear-opening, the smaller 

 ventral scales, and the total absence of prseanal or femoral pores, 

 the lower surface of the thighs being in both sexes covered with 

 uniform granules without any enlarged scales. 



Seven specimens : Masarang, Buol, Wankahulu Valley, Kema, 

 and Central Celebes. Obtained in North Celebes by Dr. Meyer 

 and in South-eastern Celebes by Beccari. 



It was the intention of my lamented friend Dr. Miiller to name 

 this species in honour of Mr. E. J. Jellesma, Resident of Manado, 

 to whom the Drs. Sarasin are indebted for much assistance duiing 

 their expedition from Manado to Gorontalo and their stay in the 

 Minahassa.

Head large, depressed, oviform ; snout longer than the diameter 

 of the orbit, which nearly equals its distance from the ear-opening ; 

 forehead concave ; ear-opening a horizontal cleft, measuring one

 digits strong, slightly depressed at the base, strongly compressed 

 in the remaining portion ; the basal phalanx with well-developed 

 transverse plates inferiorly. Head granular, the granules slightly 

 larger on the snout, with few very small tubercles on the temple;
