The ordinary head-shields*; parietals short, broad, interparictal 
narrow ; four occipitals; four supraorbitals, anterior smallest; a 
loreal and a frenoorbital; a row of extremely small infraorbitals ; 
temporal shields large; seven upper and six lower labials; chin- 
shields, one anterior and four pairs, the two first forming a suture ; 
gular scales subquadrangular, three transverse rows in front of the 
collar largest; collar-shields nine. Dorsal scales quadrangular, 
slightly rounded posteriorly, about twice as long as broad, straight, 
slightly keeled on the posterior part of the body ; lateral scales very 
small, subquadrangular ; forty scales round the middle of the body, 
including ventrals, and thirty-five from occiput to sacrum inclusively. 
Ventrals larger than dorsals, more equilateral, in ten longitudinal 
and twenty-two transverse series. Preeanal shields in two rows, 
anterior composed of two large shields, posterior containing five 
narrower ones. Limbs with the normal scaling. Digits rather

* In the unique specimen in the British Museum the prefrontals are 
abnormally united with the frontonasal, on which account it has been referred 
to Proctoporus. I have examined a second specimen, a large male, in the 
Brussels Museum ; the head-shields are normal, but the nasal is divided.
