a. Adult male. . Body .... 210 



Tail .... 210=4-20 inches. 



Back granular, regularly shagreened witb about twenty longi- 

 tudinal rows of small whitish tubercles. Sides keeled. Tail con- 

 vex above, sbarp-edged, denticulate, segmented. Segments trans- 

 versely bordered with small spinous tubercles across the top, the 

 marginal tubercle being the largest. Beneath, a central row of 

 large plates with a margin of granular scales on each side. Seven 

 or eight labial shields. Tour cbin-shields : tbe first pair form 

 a suture together behind and with the first labial; the second 

 pair are separate, and form a suture only with part of the second 

 labial. Behind them are a few large granular scales. Skin of 

 ham slightly expanded. Colour grey, with dark streaks along the 

 back and limbs, which fade after death. No distinct femoral pores 

 existed in this specimen, but only some ten or twelve faint pit- 

 tings on each thigh, separated by some larger smooth scales in the 

 pubic region. 



h. Adult female. Similar to a, but the tubercles and spines less 

 developed. 



Both specimens were captured alive by me at Karen-choung, 

 above Tonghu ; and it would seem to be a scarce species.

 line. 



Adult male. Body .... 210
