 GYMNODAGTYLUS MULTIGABINATUS. 



Snout broader than long. Head without any larger tubercles, 

 except in the occipital and temporal regions. Six ujjper labials ; 

 the middle lower labial large, without mentalia, or with a pair of 

 only rudimentary ones behind. Back with from 16 to 20 regular 

 longitudinal series of small conical tubercles ; the series are equi- 

 distant from each other, and the tubercles closely set and ribbed. 

 The abdominal scales are very small, strongly keeled, and gradu- 

 ally reduced to minute tubercles in the direction towards the 

 vent. The tail of all our specimens is more or less reproduced, 

 and uniformly granular, without tubercles or scutes. The upper 

 side of the hind limbs with scattered, strongly ribbed tubercles. 

 No pores. Upper parts brownish, uniform, or with dark trans- 

 verse markings ; sometimes a blackish streak from the eye to 

 above the tympanum.
