 and with small plates inferiorly. Upper surfaces covered with small 

 strongly keeled tubercles, smallest on the hinder part of the head,

 gularly scattered tubercles, differing only in size from the granules of 

 the back. Rostral quadrangular, nearly twice as broad as high, with 

 median cleft and emargination above ; nostril pierced between 

 the rostral and three nasals ; six or seven upper and seven or eight 

 lower labials ; mental large, broadly triangular, its posterior angle

 flat, gular granules. Abdominal scales moderate, hexagonal, im- 

 bricate, smooth. Males with two or three praeanal, and on each side 

 three or four femoral pores. Tail cylindrical, tapering, covered above 

 with small keeled scales and large pointed keeled tubercles in six 

 longitudinal series, inferiorly with larger smooth scales, those of the 

 median series sUghtly enlarged. Brown above, frequently with a
