the specimen would practically break down the distinction between 
the two species, or would have to be regarded as an aberrant 
example of C. maria. 
Diagnosis.—Upper head scales moderate, smooth, imbricate, 
slightly enlarged on the superciliary area; two parallel rows of 
enlarged, erect scales on the temple, the posterior few of each 
series ending in short spines; the lower series is separated from 
the tympanum (in the type) by three rows of small scales. Tym- 
panum nearly half the diameter of the orbit. Gular pouch not 
developed; gular scales strongly keeled, larger than ventrals, 
equalling dorsals. A rather short and shallow oblique fold in 
front of shoulder; dorso-nuchal crest well developed anteriorly, 
the longest spines (just behind the head) measuring between half and 
two-thirds the diameter of the orbit. Fifty-six scales round the 
centre of the body; dorsal and lateral scales feebly keeled, directed 
upwards and backwards; ventrals much smaller than dorsals, 
strongly keeled. ‘The adpressed hind limb reaches the anterior 
border of the orbit; third and fourth fingers nearly equal. Tail 
round, slender, very long. Colour green (faded in the type), with 
pale (red ?) markings on the sides and on the knees and elbows.

Four specimens from Sind (Murray ?) agree very closely 
with the type, which is in the Indian Museum. Probably this 
species does not reach the full dimensions of A. melanura ; its tail is 
more slender and proportionately longer.
