4, LACERTA. 35 
Head and body much depressed; snout rather long, obtuse. 
Rostral not entering the nostril; a single postnasal; four upper 
labials anterior to the subocular; a series of granules between the 
supraoculars and the supraciliaries ; occipital as broad as but much 
shorter than the interparietal ; temporal scales granular ; masseteric 
~ plate present or absent, supratemporal and tympanic present. Gular 
fold scarcely distinct; gular scales small, 25 to 30 on a line between 
the collar and the third pair of chin-shields; collar even-edged, with 
(7 to) 10 plates. Dorsal scales small, convex, smooth, roundish, 
juxtaposed, not smaller on the sides, where three correspond to the 
length of a ventral plate; 48 to 60 scales across the middle of 
the body. Ventral plates in 6 longitudinal series, the median and 
the outer series much narrower than the two others; 25 to 27 
transverse series; additional lateral plates absent. Preanal plate 
bordered by two semicircles of small plates. The hind limb 
reaches tho shoulder in the male (not so far in the female). Scales 
on upper surface of tibia larger than dorsals, rhomboidal, keeled. 
Femoral pores 17 or 18 (to 22). Tail not twice as long as head 
and body ; caudal scales truncate, upper strongly keeled, the basal 
ones somewhat tubercular. Olive-grey above, with irregular small 
black spots, and round light spots on the sides; lower surfaces 
whitish (in spirit).

This species falls into two varieties, which have been named by 
Bedriaga modesta and rudis, To the former, which is charac- 
terized by smaller scales (60 across the body) and less distinctly 
tubercular caudals, belongs the specimen in the Collection.
