ORDER SAURIA. 143 



Some others, on the contrary, have these pores 

 very marked.* 

 Such is 



The Cepedian Gecko, Peron. 



Of the Isle of France ; rose-colour, marbled with 

 blue, and a white line along each flank. 



I know not, however, if the pores in this first 

 subgenus be not a mark of sex. 



Other platydactyla are destitute of claws on the 

 thumbs, and on the second and fifth toes of all the 

 feet. They have no pores in the thighs. t 



Such is 



Tlie Wall- Gecko, (^Lacertus Facetanus,) Aid. 654. 

 Tarente of the Provincals j Tarentola, or rather 

 Terrentola of the Italians ; Stellio of the ancient 

 Latins ; Geckotte, Lacep. ; Gecko Fascicularis, Daud. 



Deep grey ; the head rough ; all the upper part 

 of the body sown with tubercles, each of them 

 formed of three or four smaller and approximating 

 tubercles. The scales of the under part of the tail 

 like those of the belly. An hideous animal, which 

 conceals itself in the holes of walls and heaps of 

 stones, and covers its body with dust and ordure. 

 It appears that the same species inhabits all around 



* Mr. Gray has made of this division his genus Phelsuma ; the Lacerta 

 G^^jeofSparrman should belong to it. It is thought very venomous at 

 the Cape. 



f Of this division Mr. Gray has made his genus TarentoJa.
