5. Hemidacttlus Coct^i. Kalabagh on the Indus. 



6. „ MACULATrs. Marri (Western Himalaya, between 

 7000 and 8000 feet). 



7. GrTMNODACTTLirs CASPirs, Eichw., vide ante, p. 80. 



A female specimen without femoral pores, from the Agror valley, agrees 

 in every respect (except the enlarged chinshields) with Eichwald's figure and 

 description ; the fore limb when laid forward reaches beyond the snout with 

 nearly half the length of the third finger. 



8. ErPREPES (Tiliqua) monticola. 



A specimen from the Saltrange perfectly agrees with those noted on 

 p. 120 of Pt. II. of the Journal for the present year. The occurrence of 

 this species so far West, and in a so thoroughly different climate from that of 

 Sikkim, makes Schlagintweit's precise locality not only doubtful, but it 

 now appears to me very improbable, that the species has at all been obtained 

 in Sikkim. 



Genus. Blephaeosteees. Vide ante, p. 74. 



As the following new species from the Panjab agrees in all essential 

 points with the type of the genus, JBl. Grayanus, but has a small external 

 opening of the ear, the presence or absence of this character must be ex- 

 cluded from the characteristic of the genus, which is similary the case in 

 AblepJiaruSy and from which Blej^harosteres differs by the entire absence of 

 eyelids. 



9. Blephaeosteees agilis, n. sp. 



Body slender, but less depressed than m Bl. Grayanus, and with the tail, 

 when perfect, very much longer than head and trunk together. Head shields 

 regular : one frontal, two post-frontals, not in contact ; vertical forms a short 

 suture with anterior frontal, and is either very narrowly truncate or pointed 

 behind ; three supra-orbitals, the two anterior occasionally united into one 

 shield, they are followed by two obliquely descenchng small shields ; four 

 occipitals, the anterior paii' being united and posteriorly emarginate, in which 

 emargination fits the obtuse point of the median occipital. One post-nasal . 

 a loreal, sometimes confluent with the post-frontal ; a nearly complete ring 

 of minute scales round the eye, with two small shields in the place of the 

 pre- and post-oculars ; seven upper labials, the fifth entering the orbit ; several 

 enlarged te'mporals, the largest in contact with the post-occipitals. Ear 

 opening distinct, a little above the level of the angle of the mouth, with two 

 small denticles on the front edge, and separated from the last upper labial by 

 two enlarged shields. Six narrow lower labials, with the adjoining chin-shields 

 as usually enlarged. 



Six series of scales along the back, including one on either edge, four or 

 five pau's immediately followmg the occipitals are transversely much elongate-
