This female was talcen near Tougliu in July, and contained 

 eight eggs. She was nearly as highly coloured as a male, and the 

 largest individual of this species I liave ever seen ; and Giinthcr is 

 indubitably mistaken in supposing it ever attains, as he says, to 

 two feet in length. 



The species is common throughout Pegu and Tenasscrim. 



AcANTiiosAUEA, Gray. 

 A. AKMATA, Grray. 



This species is not rare in Tenasserim ; but I have not remarked 

 it in Pegu. 



A. CAPBA, Q-tinther. 



A single specimen, which I refer to this species, was taken near 

 Eangoon by a Karen ; but it must be scarce in Pegu. The general 

 coloration was sombre ; but a thin line down the throat and 

 the vertebral ridge were bright orange.

Pamily UEOMASTICID^, 



Agamince which, are burrowers and herbivorous. JTromastix 

 and Leiolepis form a very natural family, quite distinct from the 

 Agamidce, among which they liave been hitherto classed. Their 

 food is vegetable, and they are of social and gregarious habits, 

 forming, in favourable places, colonies or warrens like rabbits. 



Leiolepis, Ouvier. 

 L. Eeevesii, Gray. 



Colour pale reddish-brown, with numerous dark-ringed orange 

 spots. Sides sharply barred with black and bright orange alter-
