The type specimens were obtained at Brava, Somaliland, by the 

 late German traveller Hildebrandt. I have examined 13 speci- 

 mens from Lugh, Somaliland, collected by Dr. Bottego. The 

 dimensions and variations in scaling and number of femoral pores 

 in these 13 specimens are here tabulated : — 



A. Length from snout to Tent (in millimotres). B. Length of head. 

 0. WitUli of head. D. Shield between interparietal and occipital. E. Upper 

 labial sliields anterior to subocular. P. Nuinbor of scales across middle of body.
