The specimens from Baluchistan and Southern Persia* fir-t de^-ribed 

 by Blanford differ from the typical form in having smaller -cales 

 r38 to 44 round the middle of the body), the dorsal.-; ( 2i.' to 22 acros> 

 the middle of the body) le-s abruptly defined from the lateral-, and 

 the posterior much smaller than the basal candals (12 to 16 V^fveen 

 the hind limbs), and the gnlar scales are also usually smaller (33 to 

 37 in a straight Une). The ventrals are in 12 (rarely 14)+ longitudinal 

 series, as in the type, but the outer are neither pointed nor keeled. 



6 dor-al and 1 lateral li_'ht longitudinal streaks, with or without 

 round white sj/ots between them ; some specimen- nearly uniform.
