and streaked with blackish brown, intermixed with some pale spots, particu- 

 larly on the limbs ; tail with dark brown and alternate irregular white spots. 

 Some specimens have a kind of indistinct transverse, dark bands, one on 

 neck, one on the sacral region and three on the back, they are separated 

 respectively from each other, as in Schneider's figure, by three confluent 

 white spots, placed in a triangle, with the point directed backwards ; the 

 three series of spots on the back are the most distinct. A whitish, or pale 

 orange, band runs through the eye, indistinctly continuing on the side of the 

 body ; it is margined below by a blackish band, most distinct and broadest 

 at the side of the head. Lower side of body and tail uniform whitish, the 

 scales very often finely punctated.

 This species occurs on the Andaman, as well as on the Nicobar, islands,

The young of this species is reddish brown with some darker brown 

 marks on the upper side of the body, and a series of rather large white 

 spots along the middle of the back. Penang.

Body rather slender and elongate, depressed, covered above with numer- 

 ous small roundish tubercles, between which larger ones of a similar shape, 

 but of about double the size of the former, are intermixed. Upper side of 

 head equally granular, the granular scales being somewhat larger on the 

 snout. Rostral large, broad, reaching well on to the upper surface of the 

 snout ; it is followed by 5 small granular scales. The nostril is situated 

 somewhat laterally in the angle between the rostral, first upper labial, one 

 small scale above and another similar one posteriorly. There are 9 upper, and 8 

 lower labials, the last three in each case very much smaller than the preceding 

 ones. The lower rostral is triangular, partially wedged in between two 

 elongated chin-shields, forming a suture below it. Each of the chin- 

 shields is followed along the labials by 3 other somewhat rounded shields, 

 none of which are in contact. Opening of the ear small, rounded. Scales 

 on the chin small, equal, rounded ; on the belly slightly elongated, and in 

 about 32 longitudinal series across the middle ; on the tail, which, however, 

 appears to have been twice reproduced, the scales are also elongate, slightly 

 smaller above than below, but not transversely enlarged, and without any en- 

 larged spines at the sides. The fore limb reaches to the snout, and the hind limb 

 very nearly to the axil, when laid forward. The 3rd and 4th fingers and toes
