occipital, behind which the two elongated post-occipitals also form a suture ; 

 nasal single, lateral, followed by a postnasal ; one elongately quadrangular 

 loreal ; two rows of small shields round the anterior upper and posterior 

 edge of the eye ; one small postocular, followed a little higher up by a large 

 temporal, in contact with the last upper labial and the post-occipital ; a 

 few enlarged shields behind the occipitals ; 18-20 longitudinal rows of scales 

 round the middle of the body, and 36 — 38 transverse rows between the 

 fore and hind limb ; 7 upper labials, the 5th longest, under the eye, the 

 last highest ; 6 lower labials ; first chin-shield single, followed by 3 pairs, of 

 which only the first forms a suture ; two preanal shields enlarged ; subcaudals 

 in one row, enlarged, and very numerous. The fore limb when laid foi^ward 

 reaches the angle of the mouth, and the hind-limb is three fifths the distance 

 between it and the fore-limb. 



Colour, above, olive green, with a very distinct metallic lustre, a little 

 darker at the sides, speckled with black and gradually passing into the uni- 

 form greenish white lower side ; shields on head with faint dark markings ; 

 a silvery green narrow band passes from the superciliary edge to the base of the 

 tail, it is edged with black below, but gradually lost on the tail, which is 

 paler than the body and with a pink tinge. Limbs brown above, marked 

 with rows of white spots ; lower portions of upper labials white. 



The larger of two specimens measures : total length 2 '8 inch., head and 

 body 1*25 ; tail 1"65, reproduced at tip ; fore-limb 03, hind-limb 0*45 inches. 



I procured the only two specimens on a sandy place between tufts of 

 grass in the Waggui* district, in the North-eastern part of Kachh. 



I have great pleasure in connecting with this interesting new form the 

 name of our veteran herpetologist Dr. J. E. Gray. 



6-7. ErPEEPES [Tiliqua] carinatus and macularius.

Both occur but rarely, except along the sea coast, particularly among 

 palm groves. The first named species grows to 12 inches, the scales are three- 

 keeled, and the coloration typical, with yellowish white edges to the back. 



In T. macularia the scales are mostly seven-keeled, the coloui- is uniform 

 olive brown, with or without dark spots, the sides pale olive with a few white 

 spots on neck, or they are throughout black and white dotted, the stripes at the 

 side of the tail are, however, always well marked ; below pale yellowish white. 

 The largest specimen observed only measures 5 inches, which is the usual size 

 of Central Indian specimens. 



8. EUMECES TiENIOLATUS (Blyth).

I procured two live specimens of this ver}' rare lizard at the little village 

 Urira in North-western Kachh. The structure entirely agrees with the very 

 detailed description given by Anderson, only in one of the specimens the fore-
