ties East of the Hooghly much rarer, than the latter species. There are 

 evidently two distinct races : a smaller and almost uniform coloured va- 

 riety, occurring all through the Central Provinces and extending northwards 

 to the hase of the hills at Hardwar, and westward prohahly into southern 

 Panjab ; and a larger, and generally striped, variety, occurring eastwards 

 all through Bengal, Asam and extending into Pegu. 



Beddome (Madras Journ. Med. Sc. for 1871) appears to question 

 the distinctness of macularius from carinatus ( = rufescens) , but there can, 

 I believe, be no doubt on that point. Whether his 5-keeled specimens are 

 carinatus, and the 7-keeled ones true macularius, must be decided on a re-exa- 

 mination of his specimens. Both species often occur together. 



Eupeepes [Tiliqua] cabltstatus, Schneider. 



Colour above brown or olive brown, with or without dark edgings to 

 the scales, a pale band on the edges of the back ; upper half of sides blackish 

 with or without white spots, lower half pale, a short pale streak from ear to 

 shoulder ; below whitish, tinged with orange or red in males during breeding 

 season, particularly at the sides of the belly. This is the usual colouration 

 in specimens from Bengal, Central Provinces, Dakhin (at Puna) and Bombay. 

 (Comp. G-unther, I. R., p. 79 and Blanford, J. A. S. B., 1870, xxxix, pt. ii, 

 p. 356). Specimens from Burma and the Malayan Archipelago are very 

 similarly coloured (see J. A. S. B., xxxix, pt. ii, p. 169). Bengal specimens, 

 of which I examined a very large number, have quite as often 5 as 3 keels 

 on the scales, those from the Dakhin (Dekhan) and Bombay are mostly only 

 three-keeled. As a rule there are 32 longitudinal rows of scales round the 

 middle of the body in full grown specimens, in younger ones often 30, very 

 rarely only 28.

This is undoubtedly a species distinct from Tiliqua carinata, and in part 

 combining the characters of the latter, and of T. monticola which it con- 

 siderably resembles in coloration. I received two specimens from Puna (in the 

 Dakhin,=Dekhan) through my collector. They are both young, only 4-^ inches 

 long, but when compared with equally large specimens of carinata, the head 

 is, as stated by Jerdon, shorter and somewhat higher, the rostral is flattened 

 above, the supranasals form a distinct suture, frontals proportionately smaller, 

 (the anterior in one specimen obliquely divided in two shields), posterior 

 frontals form a suture, the vertical is longer and posteriorly narrower, than in 

 any specimens of T. carinata I saw. The other shields of the head do not dif- 

 fer. Edge of ear in front with 3 or 4 small, pointed, subequal lobules. Scales
