1S75.] Amphibia of Western Tibet, Turkestan, Sfc. 195 



Sab. — Eastern Turkestan. 



Allied to the last, but more slender with a longer tail and longer limbs. 

 It has more numerous ventral scales and femoral pores, swollen nasal shields, 

 the supraorbital disk surrounded by granules, and different colouration. 



13. Eumeces t^niolatus. — Between Mari in the Panjab and Kash- 

 mir. 



A single specimen 13 inches long, stouter than the type, and with 23 

 l'ows of scales round the body. 



14. Mocoa Himalayana. — Mari, Panjab ; Kashmir. 



15. M. Stoliczkai ( ? = M. Ladacensis). 



E/iprepes Stoliczkai and U. Kargilensis, Steindachner, Novara Expedition, Reptilian, 

 pp. 45, 46. 



Eumeces Ladacensis, Anderson, P. Z. S., 1872, p. 375. 

 Sab. — Ladak. 



I am unable to identify this species satisfactorily with Eumeces Lada- 

 censis, Giinther, because in not one out of the twenty-four specimens col- 

 lected does the forefoot reach the end of the snout. Anderson also noticed 

 this Still I think it probable that the two are identical.* S Kargilensis 

 was chiefly distinguished by Steindachner because of its having 4 instead of 

 5 supralabials before the infraorbital. In some specimens collected there 

 are 4 on one side and 5 on the other. 



OPSIDIA. 



16. Typhlops porrecttjs ? — Jhilam valley between Mari and Kash- 

 mir. 



This appears stouter than the type and may be distinct. Only a single 

 specimen was obtained. 



17. Compsosoma Hodgsoni. — Kashmir. 



18. Ptyas mucosus.— Kashmir. 



19. Zamenis Ravergieri. 



Colubur Ravergieri, Men. Cat. Rais. p. 69, (1832). 



Zamenis caudcelineatus Giinther, Cat. Col. Snakes,- Brit. Mus., p. 104 (1858). 

 Z. Ravergieri and Z. FedtschenJcoi, Strauch, Schlangen des Russischen Reichs, Mem. 

 Acad. Sci. St. Pet. XXI, No. 4, p. 127 (1873). 

 Sab. — Eastern Turkestan. 



The colouration of the three specimens obtained is that of the variety 

 called by Strauch Z. Fedtschenkoi, in which the tail is spotted instead of 

 being striped. In describing the specimens found in Persia, I have shewn 

 that the two forms pass into each other. 



* The locality of E. Ladacensis, Grunth. Rept. Brit. Ind. p. 88, rests upon the 

 authority of the Messrs. Schlagintweit, and consequently no reliance can he placed 

 upon its accuracy.
