teriorly, with strong curved parietal crest; the distance between 
the commissure of the mouth and the extremity of the casque nearly 
equals the length of the mouth; no rostral appendages; lateral 
crest strong and tubercular, temporal portion strongest, but not 
reaching the extremity of the parietal crest, which is likewise 
strongly tubercular; no trace whatever of occipital lobes ; head- 
scales very small, granular. Body finely granular; a series of 
isolated, knob-like tubercles along the vertebral line; these tubercles 
divided into several scales, the two largest of which, occupying the 
upper surface, are conical and usually point obliquely upwards, right 
and left respectively ; no gular nor ventral crest. No tarsal process. 
Tail short, not longer than the body.
