1. Phoxophrys tuberculata. 



Phoxophrys tuberculata, Hvhr. I. c. 



" Head tetrahedral, with a sharp canthus rostralis ; above the eye 

 the scales of the canthus become large and erect, giving rise to a 

 sort of horn-like appendage, more than half as high as the diameter 

 of the eye. The head is covered with tubercular scales and carinate 

 tubercles, the interorbital space is deeply concave. At the back of 

 the head a row of scales larger than the surrounding ones forms a 

 transverse bridge between the posterior borders of the eyes, at the 

 same time limiting the interorbital cavity from behind. Ten upper 

 labial shields and as many lower labials. Larger multicarinate 

 tubercles behind the eye and at the angle of the mouth ; throat 

 covered with sharply carinated keels ; no gular appendage. The 

 small imbricate scales on the sides have their free mp.rgins turned 

 upwards. Of the larger multicarinate tubercles on the back, three 

 or four on each side of the median line are more especially prominent. 

 The scales on the belly are larger than those on the sides, and 

 strongly keeled. Strongly keeled scales on the Umbs, which on the 

 upper surface are intermixed with larger tubercular multicarinate 

 ones. Tail much longer than the body, all its scales keeled, those 

 on the inferior surface the largest. The hind limb laid forwards 

 extends to the angle of the mouth, the hind limb laid backwards 

 does not reach to the thigh."
