larger scales on the abdomen ; ear opening rather small, rounded ; a moderate- 

 ly developed gland on each side in the place of the paratoids, generally- 

 more distinctly seen above than below ; thumb small, well developed, with 

 a minute claw ; about 38 long, rows of scales across the middle of the belly, 

 extending somewhat on the sides ; 11-16 femoral pores in each series, 

 separated by a width of about 3 scales in the preanal region ; a row of 

 transversely enlarged shields along the middle of the lower side of the tail. 



Grey or light brown, shghtly mottled with dark brown and four 

 longitudinal series of blackish spots interrupted by white ones ; two of the 

 series originate on the superciliary region and two in continuation of a 

 blackish streak, originating at the lower half of the eye ; head above and labials 

 black spotted ; tail also with dark transverse spots above ; below uniform 

 white, with the shields of the belly generally very minutely punctated. The 

 brown series of spots are not in all specimens equally distinct, and some- 

 times they are ahnost obsolete. Specimens which have shrunk much in 

 spirit shew, like all other Geckos, a fold on the side of the body, and the tail 

 becomes also shghtly angular at the sides. 



Blyth's original description of the coloration of this species is decidedly 

 better, than the supposed improved one by Theobald. The type specimen came 

 from Mergui ; Theobald found it common in Pegu ; I have received it from 

 the Khasi hills, and collected a great number of specimens about Pankabari, 

 just above the Sikkim Terrai, mostly on the outside walls of houses ; one 

 specimen was also sent to me by Mr. A. W. Lawder from Almorah, in 

 Kamaon. 



The largest specimen from Pankabari measures <k\ inches, of which 

 the body is 2i inch.

PI. iii. fig. 1, upper view of a full grown specimen ; 2, 2 a, 2 b, 2 c, different views 

 of the head and sacral region of another specimen ; all figures in natural size. 



Body and tail depressed, covered with numerous small rounded tuber- 

 cles, there being in old specimens generally a few larger ones perceptible at 

 the side of the body and on the sacral region ; snout elongate, depressed, 

 with the scales larger than on the body ; tail depressed, gradually tapering 

 to a point, moderately convex above, somewhat flattened below, indis- 

 tinctly segmented, laterally sharply keeled and serrated, the tubercles at the 

 end of each segment being white and more prominent than others. There 

 is a pair of somewhat enlarged shields behind the rostral, separated by a 

 shghtly smaller shield ; the nostril lies between the rostral, the 1st labial, 

 the supra-nasal and two moderately enlarged post-nasals ; 12 — 14 upper, and 

 10 — 12 lower labials, the last in each case, as usually, very small ; 2 pans of 

 enlarged chin-shields, the first forms with the lower halves a suture below the
