The number of labials are respectively seven and eight iji the 

 two specimens; one has the fourth, the other the fifth right 

 upper labial shield subdivided. Thirty-two scales round the 

 middle of the body; dorsals largest, tri- or quadri-carinate (not 

 quinquecarinate, as stated to be the case in the British Museum 

 specimens). Total length, 170 mm. (the tail having been repro- 

 duced). Above, dark slate-coloured, with the neck rufous, tail 

 olive. Some of the dorsal scales have a dark central spot. 

 Under-surface salmon coloured, throat bluisli. 



Trachysaukus kugosus. Gray. 

 Four specimens ; between Eraser Kange and Hampton Plains. 

 The largest specimen 340 mm., total length. Above jet-black, 

 marked with a few bright sulphur-yellow and brick-red spots on 

 the back and limbs. Head, with the exception of the parietals, 

 bright brick-red. Under-surface black, with large yellow spots. 



TiLiQUA OCCIPITALIS, Peters. 

 Three specimens, Fraser Range; the largest 400 mm., total 

 length. 



Lyggsoma Jjrm, Bold. 



One specunen from the Barrow Range. This differs somewhat 



from Boulenger's description, but from a single specimen, and in 



the absence of comparison with the type-specimen, we cannot 



positively state whether it is referable to this species or not. The 



differential characters are 24 scales round body, no prw-anal 



pores present, and instead of the six white longitudinal lines on 



the back in the British Museum typo-specimen, our specimen has 



eight lines of a greenish tinge.

Lygosoma Fisiieri, Boul. 



Seven specimens ; Barrow and Everard Ranges. 



At the first glance these closely resemble the common varicjty 

 of Lygosoma Lesuerii. The wiiite edges of the black dorsal 

 bands are wide, and the row of small light spots on each side of 

 the dorsal line, which are usually present in Lygosoma Fisheri, 

 are, in the above specimens, totally absent. Five upper anterior 

 labials, the sixth being below the eye.
