REPTILLt. 445 



The name gehajie is taken from the Tigr^an language. 

 To alter it into gehafice, as Gray has done, is of course a 

 mistake. 



Oedeb SAUBIA.

Gray, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1863, p. 95. 



I obtained a single young specimen in the Anseba 

 valley. I am far from certain that it belongs to the 

 above-named species, as, despite its not being adult, the 

 crest is more strongly developed than in the full-grown 

 specimen in the British Museum. The colouring is the 

 usual greenish grey, varying according to circumstances, 

 with two rows of subquadrate white spots along the sides.

One specimen procured in the Anseba valley ; it was 

 under a rock in rather open ground. The spots are 

 scarcely perceptible, and the head is longer and not 

 rounded above, as in Rtippell's figure, but there is no 

 essential diflFerence. The measurements are the follow- 

 ing:— 



ft. in. 



Whole length from nose to end of tail 2 7'0 



Length of tail from anus 1 2'0 



„ of head, about 3-0 



„ from ear to point of nose 2'75 



„ of foreleg from shoulder to end of middle toe 4'75 



„ of middle toe of same and claw 1'25 



„ of hindleg to end of second toe . . .0 6'0
