 preanal shield bordered by a single semicircle of smaller 

 shields ; 3 to 11 granules between supraoculars and super- 

 ciliaries ; hind limb reaching elbow or axil in males, wrist 

 in females ; 9 to 14 femoral pores ; 21 to 25 lamellae under

38 to 50 scales across body, dorsals keeled, laterals smaller ; 

 preanal shield bordered by a single semicircle of smaller 

 shields ; a series of granules between supraoculars and super- 

 ciliaries ; hind limb reaching collar in males, beyond axil in 

 females ; 7 to 10 femoral pores . . L. vauereselli. Torn., p. 149. 



As shown by Parker's* aud Bayer'sf figures, and as confirmed by 

 SiebenrockjJ there is only one postftontal bone in L. vivipara, even at 

 an early age, instead of two as in L. agilis. The two are distinct in 

 L. derjugini and L. praticola, a feature which shows that these species 

 cannot have been derived from L. vivipara ; their common ancestor 

 must have been intermediate between the latter and L. agilis.
