round the middle of the body in 36 longitudinal series, and in 40-42* trans- 

 verse series between fore and hind-limb ; each scale with 3f median well 

 defined keels, two others at the sides being only occasionally indicated. 



Colour, above, olive brown, with three narrow, equidistant, greenish white 

 bands, margined with blackish brown, and with one on each side of the body, 

 passing through the ear ; all five bands continue on the tail, but are less dis- 

 tinct ; shields of head margined with dark ; edge of eyelids yellow ; feet 

 above brown. Below, uniform yellowish white, tinged with fleshy posteriorly. 



The head and body together are proportionately shorter than in the 

 preceding species :

This species has been found by Mr. Wood-Mason at Sahibgunj on the 

 Ganges, and I obtained it also at Jabbalpur in the Central Provinces ; in both 

 cases in the plains. The specimens exactly agree in structure with Giinther's 

 figure and description, but there usually is on each scale (particularly towards 

 the edges of the back) a third median keel, between the two more distinct ones, 

 traceable. Scales in 35 or 36 longitudinal series round the middle of the 

 body, and in 34-40 transverse ones between the limbs. The lower eyelid has 

 a distinct transparent simple disc, a character not noticed by Giinther. 



Colour, above and on the upper half of the sides greenish brown, with 

 numerous black spots, sometimes inclined to arrange themselves in transverse 

 series, a yellowish white band on each side and in the middle of the back, 

 about one scale broad, but generally running along the sutures of two rows ; 

 sides greenish, spotted with pure white, their lower halves more or less tinged 

 with black and white, and sometimes with an indistinct white band between 

 the limbs, appearing better marked at the side of the tail ; a yellowish black- 

 edged streak below the eye, continued to near the ear, the frontal denticula- 

 tions of which are yellow ; edges of eyelids bright yellow. Below, uniform 

 yellowish white. 



I veiy much doubt that this is an inhabitant of the highlands of Sikkim, 

 and Schlagintweit's specimens were most likely obtained in a low valley of 

 that province, at 1000 or 2000 feet elevation, but not at 8000 feet, though 

 probably preserved and ticketed in a comfortable station at that height ; or
