Tbopldophoeus mocquaedii. 



This species, specimens of which have been referred to T. beccarii 

 by Dr. Mocquard in his paper on the reptiles of Kina Baloo (IV. Arch. 

 Mus. [3] ii. 1890, p. 135), agrees with T. beccarii in its smooth 

 scales, with T. brookii in its smaller postmental, behind which two 

 pairs of shields are in contact, and in its larger head, which is 

 more swollen at the temples ; it differs from both in the greater 

 number of scales round the body, viz. 34. The ^oration is the 

 same as in T. brookii. From snout to vent 95 millim. 



Two specimens, male and female, from Kina Baloo, N. Borneo, 

 received from Mr. A. Everett. 



The female contains four fully developed young, measuring 

 30 millim. from snout to vent.
