Nostril in the anterior nasal; five occipitals; supraoculars three ; 
supraciliaries five, second longest. Plates of the mesoptychium 
numerous. One series of brachial plates, two of antebrachial, 
scarcely continuous; postbrachials small. Four series of large 
femoral plates, bounded by smaller ones anteriorly and posteriorly ; 
three tibial rows, two upon the inferior face of the limb, the external 
composed of seven plates, the third very large. Femoral pores 
fifteen. Abdominal plates in eight longitudinal series. Two trans- 
verse marginal and three longitudinal median preanal plates. 
Lateral caudal plates smooth, superior keeled. Above brown; a 
narrow yellowish line extends from the supraciliary margin to a 
nearer or more distant point upon the tail; this is bordered above 
by a black band, three times its width, which is sometimes faintly 
margined above with yellowish; sides black as far as a yellowish 
line which extends from the superior border of the ear to the groin, 
and thence with increased width for some distance upon the tail; 
on the latter region it is bounded below by a black band; beneath
