developed, the latter oval, oblique, and separated from the upper 

 temporal shield by one series of granules ; four upper labials 

 anterior to the subocular, the lower boi-der of which is nearly as 

 long as the upper. 



Collar even-edged, composed of 10 plates ; 31 scales between 

 the chin-shields and the collar. 



' Body much depressed, l^orsal scales round and flat, perfectly 

 smooth, 54 across the middle of the body, 3 or 4 corresponding to 

 a ventral plate, 31 to the length of the head. Ventral plates in 

 6 longitudinal and 29 transverse series. Anal plate preceded by 

 a large but narrower plate and bordered on one side by two small 

 plates, on the other Ijy three. 



Hind limb reaching the wrist of the adpressed fore limb ; 

 scales on the upper surface of the tibia round, feebly keeled, con- 

 siderably smaller than the dorsals, 14 of the former corresponding 

 to 10 of the latter. Femoral pores 17-18. 28 scales under the 

 fourth toe. 



Caudal scales as in specimen No. 2, but the keels somewhat less 

 developed. 



XJnifoim greyish above, with mere traces of dark spots and 

 ocelli on the sides (bleached ?) ; labials not dai-k-edged ; lower 

 pai'ts white. 



4. Female. — Head as in a typical L. tnurccUs, its depth equal 

 to the distance between the centre of the eye and the tympanum ; 

 snout obtusely pointed. Rostral not entei-ing the nostril and 

 separated from the frontonasal by the nasals, which foi'm a rather 

 long median suture ; frontal as long as its distance from the end 

 of the snout ; a complete series of granules between the two 

 principal supraoculars and the supraciliaries ; paiietals once and 

 a half as long as bi'oad, not in contact with the uppei* postocvilar, 

 the outer border very slightly concave for the accommodation of the 

 large upper temporal ; occipital not quite half the length of the 

 interparietal but a little broader ; temporal scales small and 

 granular ; tympanic shield well developed ; masseteric shield very 

 small, separated from the upper tempoial by two or three series of 

 granules ; foui- uppei- labials anterior to the subocular, which is 

 considerably nai-rower beneath than above. 



Collar even-edged, formed of 10 plates; 25 scales between the 

 cliin-shields and the collar. 



Body moderately depressed. Doi-sal scales round, flat, per- 

 fectly smooth, 48 across the middle of the body, 3 corresponding 

 to a ventral plate, 35 to the length of the head. Ventral plates 

 in 6 longitudinal and 28 transverse series. Anal plate bordei-ed 

 by a semicircle of 4 rather large plates. 



Hind limb reaching elbow of adpressed fore limb. Scales on 

 upper surface of tibia round, smooth, smaller than the dorsals, 

 12 of the former corresponding to 10 of the latter. Femoral 

 pores 16-16. 26 scales under the fovu'th toe. 



Caudal scales moderately keeled, as in a typical L. nwralis ; 32
