940 MR, A. LOVERTDGE : NOTES ON 



. The* male I'eferrecl to in my last paper has 7-7 upper labials 

 apd 5-6 lower labials. 



The largest male measured 2g inches (36 + 37 mm.). It is 

 a pale brown in life with darker brown spots tending to form 

 cross-bars. JJyelids yellow, a good deal of yellow on labials, 

 many of the tubercles yellow. 



Examination of stomachs negative.

Five examples from Mkata River, Bukoba, Karungu Bay, 

 JCisumu,a;id Mombasa." One was dug from a termite hill and 

 others were found beneath boulders on the shore of Lake Victorirv- 

 ,The fpmale from Kilindini was beneath a tin near the shore. 



One of these had 8-7 upper labials and only 6-6 lower. A male 

 larger than any I had taken before measured 4| inches (G5-f 52), 

 and cf^me from Mkata. : 



, Both those from the termite hill and the boulders were quite 

 black when found but rapidly changed after capture. 

 ■; Eggs, laid in pairs, were found beneath bouldei^s and measured 

 1 J X 10 mm. One examined was found to contain a well-advanced 

 embryo (Karungu Bay, 16, xii. 22). 



There is often considerable difficulty in distinguishing this 

 species from //. rusj)olii, but. an examination of a series of each 

 in the British Museum shows that whereas II. ruspolii has the 

 head covered with plat(?s mbre or less equal in size and geneially 

 keeled, the head of II. brookii has enlai'ged, keeled, oval shields 

 scattered amongst very small granules which cover the gieater 

 ■part of its surface. . .
