EUBLEPHARID Ai. 
EUBLEPHARIS HARDWICKI, Gray 
I find it hard to ascertain the exact range of this somewhat 
rare species. The Museum has specimens from the following 
localities :—Quetta; Khorda, Orissa; Ganjam; the Sunderbans, 
near Calcutta. Very few of the Indian lizards are found both in 
Baluchistan and Lower Bengal, 
AGAMID Ai. 
PYCTOLHMUS GULARIS, Pirs. 
A male from Goalpara, Assam (H. L. Houghton). 
The male differs from the female only in the development of 
the gular pouch, which commences in a vertical line with the cen- 
tre of the eye and terminates behind at the anterior border of the 
shoulder girdle. It can be folded into the surface of the throat 
so as to be yery inconspicuous, but is evidently capable of great 
distention ; thethree pairs of gular folds which characterize the 
female are well marked on its sides. Its general colour is black, 
but these folds and the lower border are dirty white: the speci- 
men, however, is much faded. 
ACANTHOSAURA LAMNIDENTATA, Bler, 
A lamnidentata, Boulenger, Faun. Ind. Rept., p. 126; and Ann. 
Mus. Geneva (2) xiii, p. 317. 
Coloration is no guide in the identification of this species. 
Specimens of A. lamnidentata, A. armata and A. crucigera, may all 
be coloured ! (at any rate if faded) exactly alike, as the series in the 
Museum shows. This series bears out Boulenger’s contention, 
that the relative length of the superciliary spine affords a constant 
distinction between A. lamnidentata and A. cructgera, though the 
two forms are otherwise practically identical. In A. armata the 
spine is considerably longer than in either. 
The Museum possesses characteristic specimens of A. armata 
from “ Burma” (Major Berdmore) and from Mergui (Anderson). 
The latter is the one recorded in the Fauna of Mergui, 1, p. 343. 
JAPALURA ANDERSONIANA, noy. (Plate II, fie. 4). 
This species is founded on two male specimens collected 
by Col. Godwin-Austen in the Duffla Hills (Assam-Bhutan 
Frontier). The late Dr. J. Anderson recognised it as new, but 
neither gave it a name nor described it. 
Diagnosis.—Body rather slender, strongly compressed ; hind- 
limb long, reaching to the tip of the snout or beyond, Snout 
1 But compare my note in Faseic. Malay.—Zool. 1, p. 154.
