1875.] Amphibia of Western Tibet, Turkestan, Sfc. 193 



Sab. — Eastern Turkestan, in the plains. 



A large, rather long-tailed species, with the same structure as P. macu- 

 latus and the same habit of coiling its tail. It is distinguished, when adult, 

 by its limbs being shorter and the toes less fringed, and by colouration. 

 P. axillaris has a red spot behind each shoulder so as to be partly concealed 

 by the fore limb when laid back and it never has the tip of the tail black 

 whilst P. maculatus always has.

8. GYMSrODACTYLUS Stoliczkze. 



Cyrtodactylus YarTcandensis, Anderson, P. Z. S., 1872, p. 381. 

 Sab. — Ladak. 



From an examination of Dr. Anderson's type specimen, I have ascer- 

 tained that it is identical with the species previously described and figured 

 by Steindachner (Kept. Nov. Exp. p. 15, PI. II, fig. 2). I also think that 

 Dr. Anderson must have been misinformed as to the original locality of the 

 specimen he described, for the species abounds in Ladak, whilst it is replaced 

 by other forms of the genus at Yarkand. 



9. Gr. ELONGATTJS, Sp. n0V. 



Gr. elongatus, corpore gracili, eaudd attenuatd, membris exilibus, dorso 

 tuberculis majoribus latis confertis omato, inter tuberculas squamis rotundis 

 parvulis induto, caudd subtus scutis majoribus instructd, verticillatd serie 

 ultima verticilli cujusque ex squamis majoribus carinatis superne et ad 

 latera omnino compositd, poris prceanalibus ad 5 ; griseus transverse fusco

Sab. — Yangihissar, Eastern Turkestan. 



A peculiarly elongate form of the group of Q. Caspius, distinguished 

 from that and all allied species by its slenderness and by the peculiarity of 

 the tail having no spinose tubercles, but only the last row of scales in 

 each ring enlarged and carinate without any intervening small scales. 



10. Gr. MICBOTIS, Sp. nov. 



G. parum robustus, capite brevi, depresso, meatu auditorio minimo ; 

 caudd attenuatd, Icevi, haud verticillatd, inembris breviusculis ; dorso granu- 

 lato, tuberculis subcarinatis omato ; arenarius, fusco minute punctatus, 

 subtus albescens. Long, tota 3.2 poll., caudce 1.8. 



Sab. — Eastern Turkestan. 



A small sandy coloured species with a smooth tail and the back 



tuberculated. It is remarkable for its very small ear-orifice. It appears to 



be a house-gecko and was found about old walls. It is probably allied to 



the species described by Pallas under the name of Lacerta pipiens, but that
