102 F. Stoliczka — On Indian Lizards. [No. 1, 



inferior rostral, the second is smaller, generally only half the size of the first, 

 each shield rounded, placed immediately below its respective first chin-shield, 

 but separated from the second lower labial by a smaller shield ; a row of slightly 

 enlarged shields adjoining the lower labials ; scales on the throat very small, 

 flattened, those on the belly much larger and roundly hexagonal, and in about 

 36 longitudinal, alternating series ; a median row of transversely enlarged sub- 

 caudals. The ear opening is moderate, rounded ; the glands in the place of the 

 paratoids very large, occupying almost the whole of the side of the neck ; toes 

 elongate, united with a short web at the base,provided with rather coarselamel- 

 lae, there being 9 or 10 pahs of them on the fourth toe ; nearly the first half 

 of the lamellae on all the toes is either undivided or only slightly grooved ; 

 thumb well developed, with a minute claw. Out of 10 specimens examined 

 of various sizes none had femoral pores, but the scales in the preanal region are 

 conspicuously enlarged in all. 



Grey, more or less densely marbled and punctated with blackish brown 

 and spotted with pale white. Generally the brown colour is arranged in 

 6 or 8 longitudinal stripes, more distinctly regular in young than in old 

 specimens, and these stripes are separated by irregular, alternate rows of 

 white spots ; linibs, and tail at the base above, also white spotted, upper labials 

 brown ; paratoids yellowish brown ; lower side uniform white, raost of the 

 scales very minutely punctated. 



Sab. I have obtained a few specimens at Pankabari, jtist above the Sik- 

 kim Terai, and Mr. Mandelh sent me several from the Rungnu and Tista val- 

 leys, where the species occurs between 1,000 and 3,000 feet. The body of the 

 largest measures 2%, tail 3, = 5 J inches. As nearly half of the plates below 

 the toes are undivided, the species forms a connecting link between the section 

 Doryura and those small species of Geckos which are represented by G. 

 Swmhoenis, and are mostly peculiar to Southern China, Japan and adjacent 

 islands.

Unless authentic specimens are received, it will be difficult to identify 

 this species from Theobald's description. It appears to be somewhat allied 

 to S. Mandellianus, but the edges of the tail are said to be in the former 

 minutely " denticulate with an obsolete marginal spine ;" " sides" of body 

 " keeled" and " femoral pores nineteen on each thigh," &c. " Grey with 

 no definite markings." Body equal to tail.

 " Back granular, regularly shagreened with about twenty longitudinal 

 rows of small whitish tubercles," &c.
