The dorsal scales are granular and distinctly keeled ; 35 to 52 transverse series 



correspond to the length of the head, and 4, or 3 and 4, to one ventral plate. The 



scales on the tibia are appreciably smaller than those on the back. 24 to 28 lamellar 



scales under the fourth toe. The scales on the upper surface of the tail are rather 



strongly keeled, and are truncate or end in a very obtuse angle ; 30 to 36 scales 



in the fourth or fifth whorl behind the postanal granules. Single specimens from 



Sestri Ponente, Portofino, Livorno, Bellagio, and Lerici are remarkable in the rostral 



shield forming a suture with the frontonasal ; in four specimens 1 the granules between 



the supraciliaries and the supraoculars are reduced to from two to five. The masseteric 



shield is well developed, or even large, except in Bedriaga's type specimen, which is 



further aberrant in having the parietal shields transversely divided, as in the female 



from Voslau noticed above. Two of the Lerici specimens have five anterior upper 



labials on one side, a third has five on each side.
