Ist and 2nd supraculars; 4 supraoculars, 2nd longest; 6 to 8 
superciliaries, subequal; frontsparietals distinct; no enlarged 
nuchals. Dorsal scales smooth, larger than ventrals or laterals ; 
30 to 34 scales round centre of body. Coloration— Dorsal surface 
olive-green or pale-brown, spotted with dark-brown and white; a 
dark lateral band, also spotted with white; ventral surface and 
tail pale-brown or olive-green.

LyGosoMa ATROCOSTATUM (Gray) 
Li. atrocostatum, Blgr., Cat. Inz. ii., p. 295; S. Flower, 
P.Z.S: 1899, p. 649. 
L. jerdonianum, Blgr. t. c., p. 300. 
L. singaporense, 7d., t.c., p. 297. 
In addition to Stoliczka’s type of Mabouya jerdoniana from 
Pulau Tikus (Rat Island) off Penang, we have a specimen from 
Sinkip Island (J. Wood-Mason) which resembles it closely on the 
whole but has only 34 scales round the centre of the body, and six 
specimens from Borneo (Sarawak Mus.). These Bornean and Sinkip 
specimens have a single frontoparietal, while this scale is only 
partially divided in Stoliczka’s. One of the Bornean specimens 
has supraoculars. I agree with Flower in regarding L. jerdonia- 
num asasynonym of L. atrocostatum, to the synonomy of which 
I would also add L. singaporense, though I have not seen a speci- 
men of the last. 
L. atrocostatwm does not appear to have been recorded from 
Sumatra, where it probably occurs, being found on Sinkip. 
LiyGosoMA CHINENSE (Gray) 
L. chinense, Blgr., Cat. Liz. III, p. 318. 
A specimen from Hong Kong (J. Wood-Mason) must, I think, 
be referred to this species. It has 4 supraoculars, and the 
coloration is as follows :—dorsal surface pale brown ; lateral surfaces. 
and tail mottled with dark brown and white; a dark lateral line 
starting from below the eye and becoming indistinct behind the 
fore-limb: ventral surface yellowish. 
LiyGosoMA LINEOLATUM (Stol.) 
A specimen from Martaban is probably one of the types, but 
is entered in the Museum register simply as purchased, which is 
the case with other types of Stoliczka’s. 
LyGosoma comotru, Blgr. 
A specimen from Tavoy (Mus. colltr.) agrees with Boulenger’s 
description except that the fifth, not the sixth, upper labial is 
under the centre of the eye. ‘I'he species does not appear to have 
been recorded from Lower Burma.
