CorENso.—On a supposed new Species of Naultinus. 263 
upper row the largest, and one on one side bifid; (the two young ones are 
also each showing a row of three transverse conical scales at base of tail) ; 
a large semi-circular patch of pre-anal pores, continuous, in three rows of 
scales, on both-sides, in a long line (? inch), under thighs ; scales on tail 
imbricated, particularly towards the tip, where they are also smaller and 
slightly elongated ; three inter-nasal scales; labial scales large, $, gra- 
ually decreasing in size, that on the snout largest and emarginate, that on 
chin same size. 
Toes, long, narrow, fine, those of hind-legs nearly twice as long as those 
of the fore-legs, last three the longest, and about equal in length (5-6 lines), 
while the fourth toe is the longest of the fore-leg ; toes with large trans- 
verse seales, but the middle (palm) of foot has granular-like scales. 
General colour,—adult: bright emerald green, with large oblong irregular- 
shaped spots or splashes of dull white, diminishing in size in two broken 
but parallel lines running from head to tail, one on each side of the back 
bone; tip of tail, pink; belly, yellowish-green ; labial scales on both lips, 
light green of one hue; mouth, throat, and tongue (of both old and young), 
dark plum colour between purple and port; feet, tawny-white, or light 
cinnamon colour below. The young ones are marked each with about ten 
pairs of pure white irregularly-shaped spots, and nearly opposite, in two 
parallel lines running from head to tail, half of their number being on the 
body; one has a semi-circular white streak, 34 lines long on both sides of its 
head over the posterior angle of the eye and ear; and one has two additional 
longitudinal rows, one on each side, of minute whitish spots ; labial scales 
of under-lip, white ; belly, light pea-green. 
Length of adult, 7 inches 2 lines, of which the tail is nearly 8.6; of the 
young ones (one year old), 4 inches. The yonng, when first seen, were a 
little over one inch in length. 
ADDENDUM. 
Having obtained a few additional items of interest concerning those 
lizards since this paper was read, I give them here. 
Those lizards commenced hybernating early in July. Possibly they 
would sooner have done so, but I had kept them in my sitting-room, where 
there was a daily fire ; when, finding they did not care for food (flies), and 
remained still, I put them away in a dark back room, placing some soft hay in 
their house. They remained there until the 1st of October, when I brought 
them back—apparently thinner for their long fast, but healthy; the two 
young ones had also grown in length. They soon began to catch and eat 
flies as before. From the very small amount of fecal deposit found in 
their cage, I could not but think that the hole in which the original four 
were found must have been an old and often-used haunt.
