144 Stoliczka — Barmese JReptiles Sfc. [August, 



gijstoma ? interlineatum suggested the separation of these species into two 

 new genera. 



Under the present remarks only those species are included, which yield- 

 ed any additional information, or which have not formerly been known to 

 occur in Barma. Many others had already been fully reported by Mr. 

 Theobald in his Catalogue of Barmese Reptiles, published in Vol. X, Zoology, 

 of the Linn. Society's Journal. 



RiOPA LI]?fEOLATA. 

 Stoliczka, J. A. S. B., Vol. xxxix, pt. II, p. 175, pi. x, fig. 2. 

 In a specimen from Moulmain, three inches long, the longitudinal series 

 of scales round the body vary from 22-23, and there are 68 transverse rows 

 between the fore and hind limb. There is a pair of anterior occipitals, the 

 two being divided by an oblique suture, each of them is very little larger 

 than the median occipital. The lower eyelid is occupied by a single, large, 

 semitransparent shield. 



RiOPA CTANELLA. 

 Stoliczka, J. A. S. B., Vol. xli, pt. II, p. 130, pi. v, fig. 3. 



Mr. Theobald brought several specimens of this rare species ; some are 

 slightly stouter than others, but all agree in every point of structure, and 

 differ by their longer and slenderer limbs, and by their coloration, from B^ 

 anguina, as formerly recorded. 



The pale golden band along the edge of the back is sometimes (though 

 rarely) equally distinct throughout its length. The coloration of the back 

 varies from pale olive brown to brown with a golden lustre, while the sides 

 always appear to have a bluish tinge, and numerous pale turquoise spots on 

 the sides of the neck and behind the shoulder. The longest specimen with a 

 perfect tail measures 4*7 inches, the head and body together being two. 



HlIOJLIA INDICA. 

 Comp. J. A. S. B , Vol. xli, pt II, p. 122, pi. iv, fig. 1. 



A single specimen of this Sikkim form was obtained by Mr. Theobald 

 near Tonghu in -Pegu, but it is evidently very much rarer than the smaller 

 H. maculata. 



Typhlops Baemanus, n. sp. 



Body rather short and stout, the circumference being between one ninth 

 and one tenth of the total length ; head distinctly depressed, oblong, much \ 

 broader than the posterior neck ; eyes very distinct, bluish black, with round | 

 white pupils. The rostral is slightly broader above than in front, its width' 

 on the upper surface equalHng one third of tha head ; it reaches far back to a 

 line connecting the anterior edges of the eyes and is obtusely rounded ; 

 nasal separated from the fronto-nasal by an extremely fine, short sutm^e ; 

 the fronto-nasals just touch each other behind the rostral in a point ; pre- 

 ocular strongly curved forward; four upper labials, from the first gra^-
