Head depressed, with long, acutely pointed snout ; body much 

 elongated. IS'ostril in the suture between two nasals. Fronto- 

 nasal pentagonal, a little longer than broad, longer than the 

 prsefrontals, which form a long suture ; frontal octagonal, 

 narrow behind, in contact with three supraoculars ; two large 

 parietals on each side, both in contact with the interparietal, 

 which is not twice as long as broad and followed by three sub- 

 equal occipitals ; four supraoculars, first smallest, second and 

 third equal ; four or five supraciliaries ; a loreal, a freno-orbital, 

 and a row of infraorbitals ; temples with rather small shields ; 

 seven upper labials, first narrowly in contact with the fronto- 

 nasal ; six lower labials ; chin-shields, one anterior and four 

 pairs, three pairs forming a median suture ; gular scales sub- 

 equal, squarish, juxtaposed ; collar-scales nine, feebly enlarged. 

 Scales on body forming regular whorls, the dorsals quadrangular- 

 subhexagonal, as long as broad, the laterals a little narrower, the 

 ventrals quadrangular, those of the two median rows larger ; 30 

 scales round the middle of the body, 58 from occiput to sacrum 

 inclusively. Praeanal plates in thi-ee rows, posterior median pair 

 largest. Two prseanal and one femoral pore on each side. Limbs 

 and tail as in A. ocellata. Pale brownish white above, with three 

 dark brown longitudinal stripes, the vertebral edged with black 

 and breaking up into three black lines behind the nape ; lower
