labials anterior to the suboculars, two have seven ; in one the 

 interparietal separates the parietals ; and two (one green, one 

 brown) have 20 scales round the body, the others 22. The number 

 of scales round the body thus varies from 20 to 26 in this species ; 

 and Prof. Weber was therefore well advised in referring to it his 

 specimen from Saleyer with 20 scales, seven anterior upper labials, 

 and the parietals completely separated by the interparietal — 

 specimen which afterwards became the type of Oudemans's L. acu- 

 tirostre.

Section Liolqnsma. Body rather elongate ; the distance between 

 the end of the snout and the fore limb contained once and three- 

 fifths in the distance between axilla and groin. Snout pointed. 

 Lower eyelid with an undivided transparent disk. Nostril pierced 

 in a single nasal ; no supranasal ; frontonasal broader than long, 

 broadly in contact with the rostral and with the frontal ; latter 

 little longer than the frontoparietal, and in contact with the two 

 anterior supraoculars ; four supraoculars, first and fourth longest ; 

 eight supraciliaries ; frontoparietal single, longer than the inter- 

 parietal ; parietals forming a suture behind the interparietal ; three 

 pairs of nuchals ; fifth upper labial below the centre of the eye. 

 Ear-opening oval ; smaller than the eye-opening ; no auricular 

 lobules. 22 smooth scales round the middle of the body ; dorsals 

 largest, especially the two median series. A pair of enlarged praB- 

 anals. The adpressed limbs fail to meet. Digits subcylindrical ; 

 subdigital lamellae smooth, 18 under the fourth toe. Grey above ; 

 a dark brown lateral stripe along the head and body, narrow and 

 faint on the head ; a few dark brown spots on the occiput and nape, 

 one pair on the parietal shields and another on the nuchals ; lower 



parts white, chin grey.
