 the nasal, on the canthus rostralis. Upper head-scales moderately 

 large, smooth ; two elongate scales on the middle of the snout ; 

 occipital enlarged ; nine or ten upper labials ; sides of head, near 

 the ear, and neck with groups of spines, the longest of which

 plicate ; no gular pouch. Body strongly depressed ; dorsal scales 

 small, broader than long, rounded behind, very feebly and obtusely 

 keeled, the keels converging towards the vertebral line ; 50 scales

 larger spines on the sides of the head and neck, and by the very 

 feebly keeled dorsal scales.
