REPTILIA. 



451 



Lower labials about 7. Collar distinct of about eight 

 enlarged scales. Ventral sMelds rhombic in six rows, 

 a row of smaller semicircular shields along each side 

 of them. Scales of the back rounded in front, be- 

 coming rather larger and keeled behind, those of the 

 tail strongly keeled, arranged in distinct rings. Pre-anal 



shield of moderate size, with about three rows of smaller 

 shields between it and the thighs. About 10 to 11 

 femoral pores on each thigh. Hind-foot laid forward 

 reaching to the shoulder, fore-foot laid back reaching 

 about half-way to the thigh. Tail compressed, about 

 twice as long as the head and body. 



This Lizard was common near the coast. I unfortu- 

 nately only brought two specimens away, however.
