halfway down the back, and another less defined from the tym- 

 panum to the shoulder. Sides of neck white-spotted, hinder -parts 

 yellowish. Seasonally a red band from thigh to shoulder. From 

 inlineatus and Beddomei, this species differs in its less numer- 

 ously keeled scales and colouring. 

 Inhabits South-Eastern Berar. 



E. longicaudatus, Anderson. J. A. S., B., 1871, p. 13. 



TaU long and tapering two and a half times as long as the 

 body (and head). A long narrow linear supranasal, not conti- 

 guous with its fellow. Posterior frontals form a broad suture. 

 Ear opening moderate, without lobules. Scales with four to six 

 keels, and in 30 longitudinal, and 28 rows between limbs. Colour 

 of back and sides uniform, dark brown. Lower parts greenish 

 white. 



Length of body r4; tail 3'6 = 5'0 inches. 



Inhabits Kachar. 



Anderson likens this form to monticala, but without saying 

 if the lower eyelid is scaly, as Gunther erroneously states of that 

 species. 



E. Petersii, Stein. 



Scales in 36 longitudinal rows; the scales of the back 2 keeled, 

 of the sides faintly 2-3 keeled. Head flat above. Two concave 

 loreals higher than long. Internasals not in contact with the 

 rostral. Upper labials 7, the first four quadrangular; the fifth very 

 long, under the eye. Ear opening broad and guarded by 3 or 4 

 prominent pointed scales. Colour above brown, with a yellow 

 vertebral band (sometimes absent) and another, black marginal 

 on the side. Some specimens with cross bands of black spots. 

 A black and yellow line under the eye. 



Collected at Chumba by F. Stoliczka. 



Steindachuer likens this species to monticoyt, but supposing 

 (from Giinther's description) that that species had a scaly lower 

 eyelid, uses erroneously that character to discriminate the two. 



Without, however, a comparison of specimens, I do not like to 

 unite them.
